Video Blog 1 Hi, I'm Dr. Patti Flint. Welcome to my video blog. I'm trying to share some answers to frequently asked questions that I hear in the office. I hope you find this informative. I like filler a lot, and I use it in almost every area in the face. But one area I do avoid is the area under the eye and the lower eyelid. I really don't think the risk-benefit ratio is in the patient's advantage to use it there because the skin is so thin, the filler is generally visible. And because I prefer a natural result, I avoid that area. If you have questions about this topic or any other topic related to plastic surgery, please contact my staff or visit my website.

I hope you find this informative. Many people considering facelifts or face rejuvenation are concerned about their recovery time. It's a viable concern. Most of my patients do feel like they're restaurant ready within three weeks and certainly photograph ready by six. So it's not as extensive as a downtime as many people anticipate.

Video Blog 3 Hi, I'm Dr. Patti Flint. Welcome to my videoblog. I'm trying to share some answers to frequently asked questions that I hear in the office. I hope you find this informative. Many people who see me about facial rejuvenation are considering focusing only on one area of their face that concerns them. Personally, I feel it is vitally important to look at the entire face because I don't want to create a disharmonious look where the eyes look much younger than the neck, or vice versa. So rely on a board certified plastic surgeon to guide you in the appropriate procedures to rejuvenate you in a natural way.

Video Blog 4 Hi, I'm Dr. Patti Flint. Welcome to my videoblog. I'm trying to share some answers to frequently ask questions that I hear in the office. I hope you find this informative. Many people considering facial rejuvenation asked me about the use of laser. I don't personally feel that laser does all it purports to do, specifically it doesn't lift tissue. And most people when they're aging complain of lack skin on their jawline or their neck. I'm not aware of any laser that can lift that. So I think you're better off considering surgery if you really feel like you'd like snugger skin in your face and neck.

Video Blog 5 Hi, I'm Dr. Patti Flint. Welcome to my videoblog. I'm trying to share some answers to frequently asked questions that I hear in the office. I hope you find this informative. Questions about recovery are common when patients are considering elective surgery, and I will tell you, it's surprising to many that facial rejuvenation surgery does not come with a painful recovery. In fact, many of my patients take no pain tablets at all after these procedures, so you can look forward to a relaxing couple of weeks where you treat yourself kindly but you're not going to be in pain.

Video Blog 6 Hi, I'm Dr. Patti Flint. Welcome to my videoblog. I'm trying to share some answers to frequently asked questions that I hear in the office. I hope you find this informative. Fat grafting is currently a very popular technique used in facial rejuvenation. I haven't embraced the technique because it's fairly unpredictable, and to my eye, creates some unnatural looking results. I think we're much better off putting tissues back where they started with a surgical approach and not relying on fat, which is frequently resorbed quickly after grafting and needs to be revised.

Many people are considering liposuction to treat areas that have been unresponsive to diet and exercise. It's a great operation with a very high satisfaction rating.

Video Blog 8 Hi, I'm Patti Flint. Welcome to my videoblog. I'm trying to answer some frequently asked questions, and I really hope you find this informative. After childbearing, many women are considering a tune-up, both in the breast and tummy region. These procedures come with very high satisfaction ratings, but they have to be planned appropriately so you provide yourself with adequate time to recover. Three to four months after cessation of breastfeeding is a reasonable time to consider breast surgery, and you can't lift for six weeks after tummy tuck. So you will need help with childcare if you have little ones at home.

Hi, I'm Patti Flint. Welcome to my videoblog. I'm trying to answer some frequently ask questions, and I really hope you find this informative. For women considering breast augmentation, the location of the scar for implant insertion is a common question. I prefer the approach underneath the breast, and it's been shown statistically to have the lowest complication rate. When implants are replaced through the nipple or the armpit, higher rates of scar tissue can occur. So query your surgeon carefully about your desired approach and learn what the best is for you.

I wish there was a great treatment for it. Unfortunately, there are many devices out there that are purported to work and unfortunately don't.
