Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery - Santa Rosa

Thank you for your question. 

A  transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a very popular procedure. It involves the meticulous sculpting of fat in the lower eyelids to improve the "bags under the eyes" look. Some doctors remove the fat, some reposition it. Sometimes a skin strip is removed at the same time if necessary.

See a surgeon who performs computer imaging. That way, you can see what is realistic based on your anatomy.

Thank you for your question. Good moisturization with a lipid based serum with growth factors can yield meticulous results. A light crème moisturizer can also help. Wear a sunblock and don't pick at the scabs if you got some.

Best wishes.

Thank you for your question. What you experienced is quite rare, but described in the product info sheet. If it happens it can last for a few weeks. In 25 years we have never seen it last longer than that.

Thank you for your question. Botox is one of the most popular and safe drugs used in a Plastic Surgeon's Office. Everyone is a victim of how they have been trained. Untoward effects commonly are a result of injector technique. That being said, seek a doctor provider who is held in high esteem with Companies like Allergan, who make Botox cosmetic. Avoid "non-Medical settings". Be sure to read a consent before you sign it, and have all your questions answered.

Best wishes! 

Thank you for your question. Most patients see the effect of Botox for 2-4 months. This can very from patient to patient and even in the same patient. Different areas tend to decrease in activity sooner than others. Some patients can become a "non-responder" if they develop antibodies to the drug. Switching to a competitive molecule tends to rectify that.  There also is variability in the activity level of every bottle.

Best wishes!
