Best laser resurfacing for 33 year old for anti-aging
Hello, the better the treatments, the longer the healing process. Those are just the facts of injuring the skin with various methods and the subsequent collagen formation via healing. Confused yet? Don’t be! It sounds like you need a refresher, so Forma radio frequency which is the best RF in the market, versus a light chemical peeling and even Picoplus laser on low setting sound like the right treatments for you. You can also visit my website at DrRoya.com for further information and assistance. Good luck to you! READ MORE
Are mommy make-overs safe?
Hello. Yes, as long as you’re healthy and you go to a qualified cosmetic or plastic surgeon, you should be perfectly fine. You can also visit my website at DrRoya.com for further information and assistance. Good luck to you! READ MORE
What is cool sculpting?
Hello, cool sculpting is basically a method in which small areas of excess fat are frozen and the far cell shrinks. This is not recommended for large areas of the body. It can create complications and becomes even more costly than liposuction. I still prefer liposuction. This is the only way to permanently remove fat cells. You can also visit my website at DrRoya.com for further information and assistance. Good luck to you! READ MORE
Lots of stretch marks. What can I do?
Hello, congratulations on the birth of your baby boy. If you had a C-section and/or are not planning on future pregnancies, you will greatly benefit from a tummy tuck. However, if a tummy tuck is not for you, you can diminish stretch marks with Morpheus. This can also help with stretch marks on other parts of your body. You can also visit my website at DrRoya.com for further information and assistance. Good luck to you! READ MORE
PRP or dermafillers?
Hello, PRP does NOTHING for “filling” an area. It lasts a few days. It only helps with slight rejuvenation of the skin in conjunction with other procedures. Fillers such as Juvéderm do filling. It’s in the name. However, I’m very perplexed you mentioned your cosmetologist. Cosmetologists are NOT allowed to perform any of these procedures. I hope she referred you to an experienced and qualified physician to perform these procedures. I have a lot of patients with bad complications from getting pregnant censures done by unqualified off of the street people. Please be careful!

How do you know if a breast implant is leaking?
Depends if you have silicone gel or saline breast implants. With saline, it is easy. It just deflated and you see the big asymmetry from one side to the other. With silicone gel, usually the leaking side, begins getting painful and firm. READ MORE
What is the most common breast implant size?
Breast implant sizes vary depending on many factors, such as chest size, cup size, height, weight, and ethnicity. But the most common sizes are 350-450cc. READ MORE
Can under eye bags be removed?
Of course. The latest technique is with laser through the conjunctiva. No pain, no scars. READ MORE
Is eyelid surgery risky?
Depends if it’s upper or lower lids. Upper lids are safer but pose a risk of dry eyes. Lower lids pose a risk of blindness, but it’s 1 in a million. However, generally, they are extremely safe and painless. READ MORE
Are breast implants safe long-term?
Yes they are extremely safe, both saline and silicone gel. However, do your diligent research and go to a reputable surgeon who uses the right breast implant companies READ MORE
What is the recovery for otolarynology plastic surgery?
Do you mean otoplasty, which is ear tacking? Short term recovery is 5-7 days, with a head strap for three weeks. READ MORE
Is liposuction safe?
Liposuction is very safe if performed by a proper board certified plastic or cosmetic surgeon, in an out-patient surgery center. No long-term effects if done properly. READ MORE
Is there a way to remove stretch marks?
We do have a radio frequency machine that helps camouflage them. READ MORE
Is it safe to have a nose job in the summer?
Infections in the nose are extremely rare. However, during the summer, I’m more worried about a rash on the nose from the sun and heat. Stay out of the sun and use plenty of sun block. READ MORE
Do stretch marks go away on your hands?
No stretch mark ever goes away 100%. We do have laser machines and creams which aid in decreasing their appearance by 50%-70%. READ MORE
Do plastic surgeons treat burns?
Yes. There are also different treatment methods depending on the scars. READ MORE
Can anything be done about my hip shape?
Of course. All bone structures are very similar. Therefore, hips are shaped differently because of the composition of soft tissue covering those bones, mainly the fat. Your hips can be reshaped simply with liposuction, which is removal of the fat through suction with large needles called cannulaes. READ MORE
Is botox bad for you?
Good morning, Botox is made up of a Neurotixin which paralyzes muscles. In extremely low doses it is used locally to paralyze muscles, stopping their contraction and smoothing out the wrinkles of the skin above those muscles. In small doses, it is safe. It is also temporary, lasting 3-6 months. The body develops antibodies to it and therefore it disappears. Repeat injections are always needed. Please go to a physician who is extremely familiar with the anatomy of the face, such as a cosmetic or plastic surgeon. There are side effects which are usually due to injection into the wrong muscle or too much injection which spreads to unwanted muscles, causing droopy eyelids which can last up to a month. Otherwise, Botox is widely used and extremely safe. Good luck! READ MORE
Brazilian butt lift- can you make my butt shorter?
Yes. There is actually a Buttick lifting procedure. But most of the time with fat injection into the buttocks, Brazilian Butt Lift, the result can be achieved which is a lot safer. READ MORE
PRP before or after fillers?
Hi. You should have PRP done before fillers. They can be done the same day, but PRP should be done first. With PRP, there is no peeling of the skin. There may be some bruising, which is extremely rare, and there may be some swelling. READ MORE
