Is it ok to travel right after a VolumeLift ^SM
Posted January 19, 2012 11:42 AM

Question:
Should I arrange to stay in Ohio for 2-3 days resting before traveling back to Michigan should we schedule the VolumeLift ℠ ?

Answer:
While there is no contraindication to leaving the very next day following the procedure (you would need to stay in the area for the first 24 hours after receiving sedation), you might want to take advantage of our complimentary laser treatment to help reduce bruising as early as 2 days postop. This is part of our exclusive Rapid Recovery Technique, together with oral supplements as well as icing techniques, all of which help to minimize and speed the resolution of bruising. The laser component certainly is not mandatory, especially for patients who are less concerned with the bruising and are comfortable with using cover-up makeup. Essentially, the choice is yours!

How long should one wait prior to a fat transfer procedure after last Botox injection?
Posted January 18, 2012 2:16 PM

Question:
How long should one wait prior to a fat transfer procedure after the last Botox injection (mine was early this December and I more than willing to hold off for as many months recommended).

Answer:
I ask my patients to wait two to four weeks following Botox before having fat transfer. Beyond the first two weeks after receiving Botox, the effect should be quite stable, meaning there should be very little risk of diffusion or spread after that point.

Can I have a fat transfer even though I’ve had Botox injections regularly?

Question:
Can a fat transfer procedure be successful on a person who received Botox regularly for three years?

Answer:
Absolutely. There should be no limitation from having had Botox, and most of our patients who undergo fat transfer have been getting Botox for years--and continue to do so after their fat transfer.
