Question:Im wondering about sun squint lines, going horizontal on the top part of my nose and then up and down lines just between my brows, which create darkness and make me look like I’m mad or something….can these be “erased” without surgery? I realize Botox would be needed probably, but can those lines “really” be filled without making that area look swollen?”
Answer: Squint lines can be addressed a couple of different ways. A simple immediate solution would be to eliminate the problem all together by investing in a pair of wrap around sunglasses. Wrap around sunglasses will greatly reduce any […]
Question:
I have acne scars on my face and was told the only way to get rid of them was to get a very severe and deep chemical peel, and if my acne came back the procedure may end up being done “in vain”.
A few years ago I heard about the new Harmony Pixel laser for acne scars. If you get treatment from this laser for your scars and you have an acne outbreak does the scaring come back? Also what dermatologists in Northwest Indiana perform the treatment with the Harmony Pixel laser? What is the cost and is financing available? […]
Question: When can you see the final results from your lower eyelid surgery; three months, four, six or a year?
Answer: For those who aren’t too familiar as to who or why one would have eyelid surgery (aka blepharoplasty), here is the scoop: patients typically suffer from excess skin of upper or lower lids! This excess skin can lead to bags, droopiness, wrinkles and can even lead to impaired vision in some cases. Having the blepharoplasty procedure done removes the excess skin and will leave patients with a rejuvenated appearance!
For those who decide to have the blepharoplasty surgery the after care […]

There have always been a number of questions regarding the safety of Botox and possible side-effects. Now with the recent report released by the Journal of Neuroscience on April 2nd, which studied side effects of botulinum toxin (an active ingredient in botox) those questions are escalating. People are asking “Is Botox Safe?” “Will botox go into my brain?” or simply “What are side effects of Botox?” all of these are common questions and deserved to be addressed.
Lets start with a quick briefing on what Botox is. Botox is a neuro toxin that has been in use since the first in […]
Question: I have a couple of questions! First how do I burn fat off my stomach? And secondly, is there any way to make my butt bigger without surgery?
Answer Great questions! Improving those two areas on your body are common concerns and can be done using both surgery and natural techniques! When dealing with fat on your stomach let me point out that we do not burn fat, we remove it. Removing fat from the adominal region can be done by doing liposuction or laser followed by liposuction, which is also known as Smartlipo. To learn more about liposuction services […]
QuestionI had a “lip lift” also known as “upper and lower lip advancement” 2 years ago. To be more specific on what I had: A lip lift is performed to shorten the long lip of aging, allowing the upper teeth to show slightly when the lips are slightly parted. It turns up the upper lip creating a fuller appearance. A wavy ellipse of skin under the nose-lip junction is removed (average 5-7 mm). It involves an incision along the border of the upper lip. Once the incision is made the doctor removes a tiny strip of skin where the upper […]
Question I am interested in having a neck lift. Can you tell me about the procedure. I heard it is a procedure?
Answer Depending on your situation perhaps a facelift or neck lift would help you reach your goal of a “tighter” yet not ‘too tight’ fresh faced look. If you have good skin elasticity liposuction is often used to remove little fat deposits in the neck area. As a result of the procedure the skin contracts and shrinks; therefore this may the solution to achieve the results you seek.

Question: Is it possible to correct white scarring from Sclerotherapy?
Answer: For those who aren’t familiar with Sclerotherapy treatment, allow me to give you a quick explanation. Sclerotherapy is looked upon as the preferred procedure when it comes to eliminating spider veins. This procedure is typically successful for medium to large veins. Treatment involves injecting the veins with a solution which will cause them to shrink and dissolve within a matter of weeks. After treatment, patients can expect to be mobile and are free to resume their daily activities. Patients are also instructed to wear supportive hosiery and are encouraged to […]
