How do you get rid of scar tissue after tummy tuck?

There's not that much that can be done about the scar after a tummy tuck. Usually, before a cosmetic surgery procedure, the surgeon will discuss where the scar will be located. There should also be talk about whether the abdominoplasty scar will be vertical or horizontal. The surgeon may also talk about an endoscopic tummy tuck which leaves smaller scars. Much of the choice depends on how much fat and excess skin is being removed. The choice also depends on whether this is a full or mini tummy tuck surgery.

That said, after the surgery, if you are not happy with the scar, there are some options. One is to wait - many scars will get better over time. You could also talk about this with your cosmetic surgeon. Perhaps a laser resurfacing procedure could improve the appearance of the skin surface.

Can eyelid plastic surgery take away the fatty bad tissue from chalazion?

Depending on where the chalazion is located on the eyelid it most definitely can be removed during the process. If it is too close to the lashes, it likely would not work, since in the surgery the Surgeon removes the interior tissue. This also applies if the chalazion is too far underneath the brow. A video of this actual procedure is attached, but be warned it can be considered graphic by nature to some viewers. There is nothing overly grotesque about it, but it does show the surgery. This can give a person an idea of how the surgery could successfully remove a chalazion if in the proper location.

Can liposuction or gastric bypass surgery pose a threat to life?

All surgeries imply a risk of life, even the simplest one. The advances in surgical technologies and techniques have reduced greatly the risks but thre are still cases of fatalities caused by unexpected complications.

The death rate from complications related to liposuction is about 1 in 5,000, although the actual death risk when liposuction is performed by a good doctor is somewhat minimal.

The death rate within the first 30 days of gastric bypass is normally quoted to be at about 1 in 250. The long term risk of death is considerably less than the long term risk of severe obesity.

What are other therapies for blepharospasm when Botox injections doesn't answer?

The surgical alternatives to Botox® include orbicularis muscle stripping or selective facial nerve avulsion, both of which carry substantial risk of permanent disfigurement without necessarily controlling the spasms. More info at www.blepharospasm.org I've been working for an oculoplastic surgeon Jeffrey Paul Edelstein,MD and this problem is more common than you'd think, we see this in patients pretty regularly. The spasms are more common in women than men, and are covered by Medicare and other insurances, including Humana and United for sure. Anyone in the western half of the US could contact us if they needed to. Our office is in Chandler AZ. 480 962 9121 www.jpemd.com ************************************* I would also like to know if there are any new treatments. Botox is a temporary fix and save the first week or so after treatment I can have just as much trouble with the spasms as with out the treatments. I have not tried Clonezepam. One thing that has helped me is Diphenhydramine or Benedryl. This is also the ingredient in Simply Sleep or Tylenol PM. I don't know how or why it works other than I tried using it to take frequent naps since that was my only relief during the first few months of trying to stabilize the condition and get some form of functionality back. I have used it for about two years now and have had decent results. In that time period I have made several driving trips from Colorado to NH and attended 2 motorcycle weeks at Laconia and was able to ride my motorcycle without too much trouble. Only occasional flare ups and non at critical times like heavy traffic. I have found that even though the medication helps I still suffer from muscle fatigue in my eye area as well as in my jaw. Also for me a key factor is how well I am breathing. I can gain some relief from blowing my nose and concentrating on breathing PROPERLY. Notice I did not say normally and that is because I feel that my normal breathing is not normal and is also a factor, along with stress and fatigue.

Is botox in small doses for non-cosmetic reasons safe during pregnancy?

BoTox is botulism toxin -- a very strong neurotoxin. Taken orally, it's lethal in humans. Applied in non-circulating areas under the skin, it can induce a flaccid paralysis (which is why wrinkles go away). The toxin shouldn't move from those spots, and if it doesn't you and the fetus might be okay. I have not been able to find a study referencing BoTox and pregnancy in humans, nor did I expect to, as any negative effect such a study might have would wind up in the courts so fast it hurts to think about. Studies with animals have had some undesirable results. I advise that you skip the botox until you stopped nursing.

What are the indications for Botox?
