i-Lipo
Q Can doing an i-Lipo procedure with an i-Lipo machine cause oral birth control to not work?
A

I-Lipo uses red light laser to move the calories out of the fat cells into the blood stream so you can exercise the calories off. It allows you to target the area that never seems to improve no matter how much exercise and dieting you do.  I-Lipo mimics the natural system that our bodies use to keep our blood sugar stable.   I don't think it effects oral birth control pills effectiveness, however there are no guarantees in life.  Double check with your birth control pill prescriber who can ask the manufacturer of your pill.  I have not heard of any problems in this area, and I can't see how it would effect oral birth control pills.  Good Luck

Juvéderm
Q Two days after receiving Juvederm in lips and I have two lumps and a lot of swelling. Will this go away?
A

Thanks for your question.  It may resolve by itself but I don't think it will.  It looks like there is a lump of filler in the L upper lip.  Did the injector even out the filler to form the look you wanted?  Sometimes Juvederm fillers do lump up leaving a bump.  It is possible that it is just swelling since it is only 2 days post procedure.  If it persists, it can be dissolved by injecting hyaluronidase in the area of concern. Contact your injector to see if they will fix it at no charge.

Botox
Q Would botox be able to fix uneven eyebrows?
A

 Thanks for your question.  Yes, Botox can be used to even out eyebrows by weakening the muscles of the eye brow that is higher so that the muscle doesn't elevate it as much.  It won't take that much botox so it shouldn't be very expensive.  Unfortunately, Botox last about 3-4 months normally.  If you keep getting it before the effect wears off it will tend to last longer over time since movement wears it down faster.

Voluma
Q It has now been a year since I was injected with Voluma. I continue to suffer with extreme edema, pain, and look deformed.
A

I am so sorry you have had these complications.  Next time don't wait so long to seek help.  You are helping the injector and their future patients by reporting your problem.  

Voluma is a thicker filler which can last up to 2 years.  It is usually used for under the muscle injection, not at the depth of lip injections.  You can use hyaluronidase to dissolve the remaining product.  If you don't want to return to the original injector then have them send you records to whomever you want to see so they will know exactly what was injected, how much, and where.  This info will help them devise a treatment plan with you.  Good luck and quick recovery
