I am only 18 but I have gynecomastia.

I am only 18 but I have gynecomastia. I thought only older men get this, if I had surgery to remove this fatty tissue, is there a possibility of that returning as I get older? It's not unusual for younger people, especially the teenagers, to get gynecomastia. This is g...

I am scheduled for my facelift next month. I know one of the risks of the surgery is a hematoma. In what period of post-operative recovery does a hematoma dissolve?

I am scheduled for my facelift next month. I know one of the risks of the surgery is a hematoma. In what period of post-operative recovery does a hematoma dissolve? Is this something that dissolves right away or could it pop up months after the surgery? Most hematomas occur ...

I had a facelift seven months ago. Since the surgery I have noticed that I have broken capillaries around my nose. What can I do to get rid of this?

I doubt the broken capillaries have anything to do with the facelift performed seven months ago. We treat these types of capillaries very frequently with laser therapy. It is a non-surgical procedure that we perform. It takes a few minutes, there is very little pain, the patie...

I had a facelift a little over a year ago. I like the results; however, I do not like the scars. The scars behind my ears are still very visible. I cannot imagine that they would get much better than they are now.

How are the incisions made for a traditional facelift? Do they start at the top of the ear and go around the face or do they go straight up from the top of the ear?

There are many types of incisions for a facelift, involving those which go up into the hair. In general in our practice we start by making an incision into the sideburns, and this way you do not really get changes to the sideburn position, and then inside the ear and then back...

I am a 47-year-old female. I had facelift surgery six months ago and I have been experiencing a great deal of sensitivity in one of my ears since the surgery.

I am a 47-year-old female. I had facelift surgery six months ago and I have been experiencing a great deal of sensitivity in one of my ears since the surgery. At first I did not think much of it but I am getting concerned because I did not expect it to feel this way. I do not ...

I had a facelift 23 days ago. When I woke up this morning I noticed that one of the incisions must have leaked out some clear fluid. Could this be a sign of infection?

Based on this, it is doubtful that this is an infection; however, if the skin is red and angry looking and there are more clear signs of infection, I would return to your surgeon for evaluation. Sometimes there is a small amount of fluid called a seroma that ends up underneath...

Two weeks ago I had a midface lift with endotines. I already have cheek implants. I am getting worried that this look might be too harsh. How long does it take for the endotines to dissolve?

It really takes a few months for these types of absorbable implants or absorbable fixation devices to dissolve. At this point, I would wait for a few months before I would suggest any corrective surgery. Posted By Dr. PoznerSanctuary Medical Aesthetic Center Sanctuary Plasti...

I am interested in having a midface lift. Can you explain how the skin is pulled back? Would it get rid of my sideburns so that my hair starts behind my ears?

A midface lift is a procedure that we perform in our operating room that involves a small incision inside the mouth and one in the hair in which the whole cheek is taken off the bone and lifted to a higher position. The skin is not pulled back but it is brought up in a vertica...
