Dr. Duplechain did a great job on my nasal surgery. It fixed my sleep apnea and overall ability to breathe. His staff was great and worked quickly with insurance and the hospital to accommodate my tight schedule. Highly recommended.

A: Sjogren's syndrome is characterized by dry eye and dry mouth symptoms which may or may not be associated with other autoimmune diseases. As a patient who might have Sjogren's Syndrome, Active Fx should be an appropriate treatment and provide similar results to patients without the syndrome. If a patient has Sjogren's disease, associated with other autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid arthritis, and if treatment such as steroids are being utilized, laser resurfacing may not be appropriate because of delayed wound healing and a diminished response of collagen synthesis related to steroid use

It sounds like you are experiencing dermal thinning or fat atrophy following your recent treatment. I would agree that fat transfer would likely be the best treatment for your problem. This is a procedure that has relatively few risks if performed correctly, and the long term effect of fat will be very beneficial. Poly Lactic Acid injections may also be of some benefit, as these injections restore collagen which may have been damaged by the procedure as well. Either way, your physician should report this to the company so that risks data can be compiled regarding the device.
