	What are my options for less invasive body sculpting? Posted June 24, 2010 12:32 PM in Laser Treatments by AUBRIE COOK, CLINICAL ESTHETICIAN
Question: There seem to be so many different techniques out there for liposuction. I'm interested in something that's less invasive. Can you explain what my different options are? Answer: Yes, actually, Dr. Paul Nassif is now performing the Zerona body contouring laser. This fat reducing laser works great for patients looking to jump start a weight loss program or those getting ready for a big event that would like to fit into a dress size or two smaller. The laser is used to break down adipose tissue (fatty tissue), which is then naturally discharged from the body via the normal detoxification process. Because Zerona Laser treatments are non-invasive, the procedure only takes forty minutes to an hour and is done three times a week for two weeks.

	Would fat transfer work to give some fill to my cheeks? Does fat transfer form lumps under the skin? Posted June 23, 2010 10:27 AM in Cheek Augmentation by DR. PAUL S. NASSIF
Question: I do not like the way my cheeks look sunken in. This has become worse as I have become older even though I am about the same weight. Would fat transfer work to give some fill to my cheeks? Does fat transfer form lumps under the skin? Answer: Fat transfer may help to fill out your cheeks. The only big issue with fat is the viability. Approximately 30 percent survives. But often after one year, the fat grows and the cheeks look better. When performed properly by a highly skilled facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, fat transfer may yield excellent results, and the possibility of lumps forming under the skin will be greatly minimized. However, there are always risks associated with any surgery. I hope this helps answer your question. I would really need to see photographs to give you the best advice. I would be happy to take a look at your photographs and give my opinion. You may send any photographs to Lisa, my patient care coordinator at... continue Add Comment \| Permalink

	Does blepharoplasty affect eyelashes? Posted June 22, 2010 10:47 AM in Blepharoplasty by DR. PAUL S. NASSIF
Question: I would like upper and lower lid blepharoplasty. Will the incisions affect my eyelashes because I have very light and very few lashes? How long after the surgery can I wear mascara? Answer: The incisions should not affect your eyelashes. After blepharoplasty, it would be best to wait a minimum of two weeks before wearing any mascara. I hope this helps answer your questions. Thank you and best of luck. Add Comment \| Permalink
