Can dermabrasion on lips perioral lines be done at same time as lower face and neck lift? Would this be better than Fat Transfer around lips?? need to know soon. Have scheduled surgery!
Answer: Yes, both procedures can be done at the same time. Many tend to do it around the lips Our office has many different treatments for scars depending on the depth of atrophy or hypertrophy. Scars require a combination approach using our HI DEF protocol which uses a combination of lasers, topical scar modulation, and RF treatments to pixelate scars, improve contour, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve the visibility of the scars so that they are no longer visible in ambient light. Everyone has a unique pattern of scarring and we employ our HIDEF technique to improve texture, color, contour, and topography. We often use a combination of treatments that begin with a careful examination to examine the micro texturing of the acne scars. Atrophic scars and indented scars can benefit from injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, and Restylane with or without subcision to remove tethered scars and atrophic depression. Hyper-redness in scars can be improved with V beam laser, Excel V, BBL, IPL, and Venus RF to improve the redness and reduce the visibility of deep scars. Fractional Thulium laser and clear & brilliant can also reduce the inflammation and redness of the scar when combined with topical therapy. Fractional lasers such as Fraxel, erbium, and CO2 laser can be combined with radio frequency and also fractional RF to improve textual issues and microtopography. Subcision and TCA cross are also used for deep ice pick scars and narrow valley scars in order to improve the micro texture. Above all, our combination approach with our clinical nurses and board-certified plastic surgeons can improve the quality of your skin by using at home Melarase creams combined with PRP treatments in our office to improve your skin quality and tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced team of experts in order to reduce your scarring. Finally, hyperpigmentation of scars can be improved with at-home Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads to help reduce active PIH and melanin deposition. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Peri-oral dermabrasion and a facelift It is completely safe to have peri-oral dermabrasion and a facelift at the same time. I has taught to do this during my fellowship and I have done it on my 12 years of private practice. The dermabrasion is far away from the area of the facelift, so healing is not impaired and the flap of the facelift is not placed at danger by the dermabrasion. The dermabrasion will help with the lines and wrinkles. If the problem also consist of volume restoration (size of lips) then fillers or fat grafting will be needed in the future to improve that problem.Hope this helps,Dr. Gustavo A.

Answer: Dermabrasion + facelift It sounds like you may have already had your procedure, but sure, dermabrasion around the lips (and fat grafting for that matter) could be safely completed at the same time as facelifting. It should not hinder the blood supply to the skin edges of the facelift, which is critical to getting a nice result with the facelift. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Dermabrasion at the same time as facelift Dermabrasion around the lips is aften done at the same time as a facelift. Different surgeons have different experiences. I prefer dermabrasion for the vertical lip lines rather than fat transfer. However, your surgeon may prefer fat transfer.
