You can tighten neck skin without surgery but none of the treatments will tighten the same as surgery. However, there are non-surgical procedures that can give you a noticeable improvement in neck skin, such as radiofrequency, ultrasound, and micro-needling with radiofrequency. They all stimulate collagen and tighten the skin over time. Neck exercises can also …

A lot of times these two …
The amount of time you should wait to work out after a rhinoplasty is dependent on your surgeon and their post-operative instructions. Make sure you ask questions before you have surgery, and read the post-operative instructions very carefully before and after to make sure you’re following protocol. Not every rhinoplasty is the same and not …

The best double chin reducer is surgery. There are a lot of other non-invasive treatments that can help reduce a double chin, such as targeted exercises, massages, and injections, but surgery works best.

The best way to fix saggy eyelids depends on whether it’s fat that’s creating bags, or if it’s the skin that loose and saggy. In most cases, it’s a little bit of both. The best thing to address both issues is a lower blepharoplasty. It can be done with an incision under the lashes and …
To get rid of deep forehead wrinkles, a combination of Botox, fillers, and resurfacing with a C02 laster or even a non-ablative fractional laster typically helps. Botox needs to be redone every three to four months, but it works well at relaxing those muscles that create the forehead wrinkles. Fillers can fill in lines that …
To get rid of a bump on your nose we can do it either through surgery or with filler. With surgery, we file the bone and/or cartilage to smooth out the bump. If we are just using a filler to address the bump, that is considered a non-surgical nose job and we fill above and …

Kybella is effective for a double chin, but there are side effects to consider and it doesn’t work for everyone equally. At least not as effectively as we would like. When it comes to non-invasive procedures, there are pros and cons of using Kybella for fat removal, with some people having great results while others …
Eyebags don’t usually come back after surgery, but if the surgery is more conservative, you could see some remaining fat. In that case, you might want to go back and have a little more fat removed. It’s not a good idea to be too aggressive the first time because once the fat is removed, it’s …
Nose jobs are more uncomfortable than they are painful. The pain level is dependent on the individual person. I have some patients who don’t require any pain medication while some may require pain relievers for the first day, but most are done within the first three days.
