Dr Young was recently on Latinos Fm, discussing Mother’s Day, and he received some great questions. He also discussed TV shows, and Brazilian Butt Lift. Finally he informed all listeners of the May-”Bring-a-Friend” deal!

So starting with some listener’s Questions-

Q1 I have been dieting for years, and also exercising. But I still can’t lose the fat on my tummy! What can I do?

A1 Well this is a very common problem, no matter what we do with diet and exercise, some areas will persist, and sadly we can’t spot reduce, with exercise. If we really want to target(remove) a stubborn pocket of fat, then liposuction is the way. And this is certainly great for small areas, eg Chin, arms, saddle bags, love handles.

Liposuction should not be considered a quick fix for weight loss. Rather, it is a treatment for stubborn fat on the body. Full results are dependent on skin elasticity, among other consideration. Compression garments will help skin to not sag, creating that firm look.  Full results may not be seen for six months.

Q2. Is Botox safe?

A2 Since its first medical use in 1992, Botox has been used by millions of patients around the world. It is one of the most well researched medicines on the market, and I certainly believe it to be safe. I personally receive it. So if it used  properly, in the appropriate patient, there shouldn’t be any problem. I have years of experience with it’s use.

Q3. Dr I have a bad scar on my arm from a fall a few years ago, can it be removed?

A2. A very common problem, in plastic surgery we are famous for the myth of invisble scars. But whenever we cut/damage the skin, there is healing and unfortunetly sometimes our body heals too well. Hence excessive scars. So we are trained to use various techniques to leave the patient with as fine a scar as possible.

I revise many scars , and these may be traumatic( like yours), or from an operation eg mole removal.

On review of your scar I will be able to advise further!

Onto now the Brazilian Butt Lift.

This procedure has been around for years, and recently I have been trained it, it essentially entails a few areas of liposuction, then using the harvested fat, and re injecting it into the buttocks, to shape them.

It is a time consuming and precise operation, and certainly not for everyone.

Now onto TV shows. Recently I watched, Dr Phil, and he showcased Bridal-Plasty. A show where 12 brides to be competed each week, and finally the winner won the makeover she wished. Obviously set in Hollywood.

Some of the procedures requested on their “wish list”- Breast Augmentation, Botox, liposuction, teeth whitening…

The Plastic surgeon on hand was Dr Terry Dubrow.

It was quite interesting, a new take on reality cosmetic surgery shows. Alteration before the alter.

( I personally have been involved with many brides-to be over the years).

Other shows in the past- Extreme Makeover, Dr 90210, Ten years younger in ten days.

I was recently in Hobart for a conference, and I met Dr David Matlock, from Dr 90210. We discussed VASER, and the butt lift, and also Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation.

The tips mentioned in this section will help an individual extend results of a liquid face lift, advanced dermal filler or awi(anti-wrinkle injection) treatment.  These recommendations will also help the patient’s own skin help itself in maintaining results, so that an individual will – over time – require fewer repeat touch up treatments. Most individuals will maintain results for gradually longer and longer times between touch ups.  These tips will, in many cases, also help patients need less product in future touch ups.  One of the greatest advantages of following each of these tips is to lower lifetime maintenance costs of preserving natural facial contours and healthy, youthful skin.

Tip #1   Use High Grade Skin Care Products

Effective skin care is one of the best ways to continue to reap the benefits of your liquid face lift treatment.  The problem is that there are so many exaggerated claims about skin care products that it can be difficult to sort through the vortex of options to determine what really works.  While some over the counter skin products live up to their hype, you might want to consider using medical grade skin care products.  Many of the products are made to higher specifications than similar products found over the counter.  Many physicians who carry liquid face lift products also carry medical grade skin care products, eg Environ, +/- roller.

It is important to use products that will help you prevent future damage to your skin.  A high grade sun screen worn every day can be important in your defense against future skin damage and to assist your liquid face lift products as they stimulate your own skin to produce collagen.  A facial cleanser, which balances pH while it exfoliates and extracts impurities is important.  Regular application of a high grade moisturizer can help prolong your results.  Antioxidant products may be advisable, as well.  Ask your doctor about an effective skin care program to help you help your skin maintain the restored contouring and correction of a liquid face lift procedure.

Tip #2   Follow Dr Young’s Advice for Immediate Post Treatment Care

Dr Young  will likely tell you not to lie down for a few hours after your awi treatment.  You may be asked to avoid exaggerated muscle movement or excessive physical activity for a few hours following your liquid face lift procedure.  Following this and other advice that your physician will give you during your treatment session will help the products achieve maximum efficacy. Relax, and be healthy.

Tip #3   Maintain Your Results with Routine Touch Up Treatments

This probably should be the #1 or #2 tip because it can have an enormous impact on how the liquid face lift products stimulate your own skin to regenerate collagen, and how the products will relax the etching of lines over time to restore healthier skin.  It seems that the most common mistake individuals make after they have a liquid face lift, advanced dermal filler or awi treatment is that they don’t return timely for a follow up or touch up treatment.  Often patients make this decision in order to save money.  However, if you are looking for enduring results, money spent in early follow up treatments often equates to tremendous savings over a lifetime.

With respect to most of the advanced dermal fillers, it takes a few touch up sessions before the body really begins to work on its own to regenerate collagen.  The effects of regular touch ups are often cumulative, and help extend results for longer and longer intervals between touch up treatments.  It is possible that an individual who has maintained regular dermal filler touch up treatments for two or three years may begin to measure treatment intervals in terms of years, not months.  For most conditions treated with awi, an individual will need regular treatments every few months.  However, with proper skin care and regular awi treatments, the etching of facial wrinkles can (in many instances) be nearly eliminated. Therefore, after a year or two of regular treatments,  it is not uncommon for individuals to feel they need follow-up awi treatments only every six months or more. Some even outgrow the need.

Tip #4   Use awi in Conjunction with Dermal Filler Treatments Where Applicable

Excessive or exaggerated muscle movement can diminish the endurance of most of the advanced dermal fillers.  Since awi relaxes excessive muscle movement, it effectively extends the life of most dermal fillers and most liquid face lift procedures.  Awi use has dual importance.  First, the dermal filler lasts longer.  Secondly, it gives the dermal filler more time to stimulate the skin’s own collagen response mechanism for a second layer of enduring results.  In some instances, awi use may not be suggested, depending upon the exact nature of the procedure.  Ask your Dr Young if supplementing your procedure with awi would be beneficial.

Tip #5  Select Dr Young, he is extremely experienced in the Use of Liquid Face Lift Products

An experienced physician will generally have a better understanding of the advanced injection techniques and product combinations that will extend your results.  Extensive experience will also contribute to a physician’s understanding of how unique skin types, physical conditions, levels of skin damage and other factors play into the mix of optimal treatment recommendations.
