Can I see you if I’m having problems after treatment at another clinic?

Yes. For people who want to regain lines they’ve lost, whether after a first surgery or a revision, we’re also planning to offer corrective care after surgery.

Among people who have come to me in this situation, the most common issue was forehead filler that felt soft and pressed in easily after treatment. There can be several causes, including the layer it was injected into, the injection technique, the amount and the type of filler, and I corrected it in a way that keeps the problem from coming back. With filler, what matters is which filler goes into which layer and in what amount, and the treatment has to take all of this into account.

If a thread has pushed through the skin after a thread lift, I can remove the thread from that area if you wish. The human body never responds 100% predictably, so as the number of treatments grows, problems like a thread pushing through can happen. I think what matters is understanding why it happens and working out how to minimize the chance of it while maximizing the effect.

When the thighs have become lumpy, wrinkled or saggy after liposuction, I have improved them either by combining fat transfer and liposuction, or with filler or collagen stimulators. How close they can get to fully smooth varies from person to person, and there may be limits, so I can only tell you for certain after an examination.
