Botox Jaw reduction is something that must be done with skill. It is used to modify the fullness of the outer lower face, particularly the masseter muscle. It can be done for someone with chronic grinding and teeth clenching and really help save the teeth along with reducing pain, popping, migraines etc. Typically, after one painless treatment, you will be able to feel improvement in your symptoms within a week or even a few days. For cosmetic facial shrinking, you may see a little after 2 weeks but oftentimes it takes 4 to 6 weeks to see the optimal difference. You should repeat the treatment every 6 months if you grind excessively and if you don't you can oftentimes repeat at 6 months, then wait a 9-month interval, then oftentimes once a year or less often. It can also shrink the size of the parotid gland which makes saliva (but you should not have dry mouth), to help reduce the width of the face. But you don't have to clench to do this. You may just have a wide or heavy face

Each eyebrow could require 250-400 grafts. It depends on the size of eyebrow you are seeking. The graft count is important but there are so many other things that are far more important. Eyebrow hair transplant is the hardest thing for a beginner surgeon to do well. In fact, I tell all of the students at my course who think they want to start doing eyebrows because there are few grafts needed that in fact it is the hardest thing to do and they should wait until they have mastered all other aspects of hair restoration before getting close to doing this. It requires both an amazing surgeon and amazing team. You need both. Also, a huge thing that has made a difference is using regenerative techniques like PRP, ACell, HypoThermosol, and ATP, which have profoundly helped achieve great results after a single session. I believe we can get wonderful results after a single eyebrow transplant session that may take others 2 to 3 rounds to achieve.

This could be a very long answer. There are SO many factors that can make a difference in hair restoration. I will try to be as concise as I can. 1. Having the surgery performed in a Joint Commission accredited surgical facility rather than an office (where most hair transplants are performed) means that you can have an almost entirely painless procedure with the highest standard of safety. 2. The surgeon (me) needs to be very artistic in his recipient-site and hairline design but also perform meticulous graft harvesting whether via FUE and FUT. 3. The team must be the best. Emina who heads the team has won so many awards and has literally written the book for assistants. She is focused on absolute quality control and has published and taught on this subject around the world. 4. Regenerative medicine techniques: it is critical to have the best "fertilizers" for hair to grow and there are simply too few hair transplant clinics that use the full gamut of what's available.

Pretty much. They take hair from a strip in the back of your head and put it where its needed.

I truly believe that submission doesn’t work well. I typically use micro silicone to improve scars.

The cost of an upper blepharoplasty/eyelids surgery is $2,850 including everything. If you have any questions please call our office at 972-312-8188. Thank you!

There are much less incidents of side effects after using Topical Finasteride.

Since I perform a lip reduction almost every other day I can say it is not a difficult procedure in my hands. A lip reduction can be done for two main categories: a lip that is too big naturally (commonly for "ethnic" lips but also for non-ethnic lips) and also for lips that are too big or misshapen from trauma or being overfilled from permanent fillers like fat, silicone, Bioplastique, Artefill, etc. Please visit my website for more information: https://www.lamfacialplastics.com/before-after-photos-dallas-tx/lip-reduction-corrective-and-ethnic/

There are so many factors to make a hair transplant appear natural. Many patients are focused just on whether there will be a scar on the back whether from a strip or from FUE harvesting. No doubt that is very important and I give a long description how I minimize that risk with either method. However, the key to a natural results is how the hairline is designed and how the recipient sites (where the grafts are placed) are made and angled by the surgeon. You cannot leave out the surgical team. Emina who is my lead assistant is a physician by training and has led and innovated so many methods on quality control for the past 25 years. If the surgeon makes the most beautiful pattern and design and the assistants mangles the grafts, inserts them backwards, puts the wrong grafts into the wrong sites, lets the grafts dry out, or places the grafts that don't fit perfectly into a site, the result will look absolutely terrible. There are SO MANY details that I could expound upon here.
