Fat Transfer vs. Injectable Fillers: Which One Should I Get?

April 24, 2017 by Donath Facial Plastic Surgery

Fat transfer or injectable which should I choose

We’re lucky to live in an era that gives us so many options for minimally-invasive cosmetic treatments. These days, you can improve your facial aesthetics without surgery or the extensive downtime and discomfort involved with it. However, not all problems can be fixed with non-invasive treatments alone. The key to a successful procedure is choosing… Read More

Overdone

January 15, 2017 by Donath Facial Plastic Surgery

Taking Facial Plastic Surgery to the Extreme Following a successful facial cosmetic surgery, the people in the patient’s life should not feel compelled to ask him or her: “Have you had work done?” A plastic surgeon’s intent is not to construct perfection, but rather to create aesthetic improvements that each patient is pleased with. Satisfactory… Read More

Bye, Bye, Double Chin!

October 19, 2015 by Donath Facial Plastic Surgery

KybellaWe are pleased to now offer Kybella for the non-surgical treatment of the “double chin” for excess fullness/fat beneath the chin.  This new treatment offers a high rate of success in treating the chin with no downtime, although there is some swelling which can occur.  No incisions are needed.  No sedation is necessary.  While liposuction continues to be a great procedure, many patients wish to have reduction of the neck fullness by itself and do not wish to have downtime, even if it means the possibility of several repeat treatments in the office. Kybella is a treatment with “deoxycholic acid” which is a normally occurring substance in the body where it functions as a bile salt to break up fats in the intestines.  As an injection, it breaks up fat cells in the area treated and the fat cells are then metabolized and excreted through normal metabolic processes of the body. From one to four treatments may be desired for the optimum effect but there is minimal discomfort and aside from swelling, there is minimal chance of unwanted effects.

Minimizing Bruising in Rhinoplasty

September 18, 2015 by Donath Facial Plastic Surgery

Minimizing Bruising in RhinoplastyWhen it comes to surgery, there are some inevitable side effects that are caused by the trauma of the operation. Bruising is an extremely common phenomenon following surgery, particularly rhinoplasty. This bruising is concentrated on the nose and the eye area, and can take quite a while to fade, making many patients uneasy about leaving the house during recovery. While bruising cannot be entirely avoided following rhinoplasty, many patients are understandably interested in minimizing the bruising as much as possible. But is there a way to help prevent bruising as a patient? And can you help accelerate the rate of recovery for bruising that does occur?

Causes of Bruising

Bruising is caused by blood vessels breaking or tearing and leaking blood into the tissue. Bruising is visible under the skin and fade slowly over time. The trauma from nasal surgery often causes bruising in rhinoplasty that takes time to resolve. In the past, techniques used in preparing the nose for recovery, such as nasal packing, could actually make bruising worse, but modern techniques are much less traumatic to the patient and to the nose. While it is difficult to predict how much bruising each patient will have prior to the surgery, there are some ways to help prevent and treat postoperative bruising.

Facelift Under Local Anesthesia

June 30, 2015 by Donath Facial Plastic Surgery

Facelift Under Local AnesthesiaA patient told us today of her experience with the facelift under local anesthesia and it’s a story we have heard multiple times.  So, I think it is important to share with our readers.  In an effort to minimize cost, some doctors routinely recommend facelift under local anesthesia, meaning no IV and no general anesthesia.  In short, I would not recommend that to any family member, and as a result, I of course would not recommend it to our patients. The numbing medicine injections which are there for the procedure are at best annoying without any sedation and the cost of sedation is a fraction of that for the procedure itself, and is well worth it.  Our goal is to give the best results possible and this simply requires attention to detail, which benefits from the addition of sedation.  With IV sedation, our patients are very quickly very comfortable and do not remember the procedure, making it the best experience possible.

A Patient Asks About Kylie Jenner

March 24, 2015 by Donath Facial Plastic Surgery

A Patient Asks About Kylie JennerThe other day a patient asked me what I thought Kylie Jenner did that would have caused the changes we see in recent magazine pictures. While I certainly have no knowledge if she has had any procedure, and I can only comment based on supposed before-and-after pictures, the pictures I have seen show fuller lips. Especially the upper lip, which I think looks large and overdone relative to her lower lip. She also appears to have more volume in her cheeks. She may have also had a bit of browlifting; pictures that I have seen show a more arched outer edge of brow than before.

Long-lasting Beautiful Lips

February 26, 2015 by Donath Facial Plastic Surgery

How to Achieve Long-Lasting Full LipsHow can someone achieve beautiful filling of the lips that is long-lasting but not overdone? While many of the options are synthetic fillers, which are temporary, we love using the body’s natural filler – fat – as part of our VolumeLiftsm.

With fat, you can achieve natural feeling and natural-looking results that last many years if not indefinitely, once the fat cells acquire the blood supply in their new site – the lips. We have beautiful examples of this in our office. These examples demonstrate our emphasis on natural-appearing results, not the overfilled results that everyone wants to avoid.

Where Can I Stay If I Travel From Out of Town?

February 12, 2015 by Donath Facial Plastic Surgery

We try to help accommodate these patients in any way our office can. There are many hotel options that we can arrange.

Additionally, because we are affiliated with a surgical hospital we have lodging available in the hospital’s beautiful overnight stay facilities. It is first class patient care for a very reasonable price.

Regardless of your point of origin, our staff will be happy to assist with all of your travel needs.

 

 

 

 

A New Treatment for Lip Lines

January 23, 2015 by Donath Facial Plastic Surgery

A New Treatment for Lip LinesWe are pleased to be the first office in the city to offer Restylane Silk. This brand-new filler is FDA approved for lip lines (sometimes called “smoker’s lines,” but all patients eventually get these). It is also approved for filling the lips. This new filler is a smaller particle size than the standard Restylane, which has had an outstanding safety profile over many years. The smaller particle size of Restylane Silk makes it ideal for fine lines of the upper lip. Having now injected this, I am pleased to say that it is every bit as smooth as its thicker brother Restylane, but fits more easily into the lip lines. This new filler is ideal for the patient who wishes to see improvement in the lip lines and lip volume without the downtime of a chemical peel or laser. We like to pair this type of filler with a muscle relaxer like Botox or Dysport for optimal results.
