I wish I could give Dr. Azar six stars. I recently had breast lift and reduction surgery and six weeks later I am so excited and happy with my results. I’m relieved to have well proportioned breasts that are perky and lighter and make me feel much better in my clothing. Having a lift and reduction was so worth it and I am just very happy that I chose Dr. Azar and his incredible staff to g...
After losing 100lbs, I was left with a large amount of loose skin. No amount of exercise would make the skin go away and reflect all the hard work I did losing and keeping the weight off. I made the decision early last year that I wanted a tummy tuck. I've never had plastic surgery before and did a significant amount of research to find just the right surgeon. After much research on surgeons...
Dr. Azar was very pleasant to talk to. One of his assistants, Lisa, was especially helpful and she spent a good amount of time at my pre-op visit going over all the details prior to my breast augmentation surgery. She eased my concerns regarding the surgery in general and went over my specific questions regarding the type of implants Dr. Azar was likely to be using, such as what the difference...
I met with Dr Azar for a quote on a tummy tuck. He took the time to get to know me and what my outcome expectations were. He explained what the procedure would entail and what how long the recovery process would take. On the day of surgery, I was so nervous that I had tears in my eyes. Dr. Azar and his medical staff assured me that everything would be OK. I have to be honest: the recovery...
I have two major issues that have been nagging at me since I was younger. The first is my undereye bags. My bone structure has made it so that I've always had dark circles under my eyes, and as I get older they're only getting worse. I can hide the discoloration with makeup, but not the actual puffy bags. Plus, now that I'm aging, I'm getting finer lines in the bags that my concealer settles...
A: This is a normal concern after having fillers injected. The lumps will start to settle down 2 weeks after you were injected, but if it lasts longer then that I would make an appointment with the provider who performed the injections, they can massage the area and smooth out the product. As far as the bruising, give your body a little more time to heal.
A: While Kybella is only FDA approved for under the chin, it is often used "off label" to treat the bra fat and is very effective. It will probably take more than one session so keep that in mind. The risks are minimal but you can expect to have some bruising and swelling following your treatment. See a really experienced injector to be assessed in person and discuss.
A: First of all, are you treating the sleep apnea because this could be contributing to your issue. If not, start there. Next, yes, you could continue with the Kybella but it's expensive and the results, though good, are not as extreme as what you would get from liposuction. So, if you aren't adverse to surgery, you may want to consider that.
A: In general, Volbella results last about a year. Longer on some patients and longer in certain areas. Filler under the eyes tends to last awhile but 2-4 years seems like a stretch. However, it's such a new filler.... who knows.
A: Without examining you in person, hard to say if this is bruising, which will resolve with time, or bad filler technique, which will mean that the filler will need to be dissolved. Give yourself another week. If the eyes don't improve then see a really experienced injector to be assessed in person.
