Could you please explain to me the similarities and differences of a facelift and a mini-facelift?

by DR. MARK M. HAMILTON, M.D., FACS

Question:Could you please explain to me the similarities and differences of a facelift and a mini-facelift? Answer: This is a common question, and unfortunately there are no rigid rules when it comes to the differences. That said, both a facelift and a mini-facelift are used to lift skin and tissues of the lower face and neck. Typically a facelift will involve extensive muscle work under the chin and in front of the ears, skin undermining and excision, sometimes liposuction, all from incisions both in front of and behind the ears and extending into the hairline. Mini-lifts typically are approached from more limited incisions, involve less muscle work and liposuction as well as less skin excision. The... continue

Is it normal for the tip of the nose to appear somewhat upturned after a nose job?

Question:Is it normal for the tip of the nose to appear somewhat upturned after a nose job? I'm a few weeks post op and my doctor says this is normal and will get better. Answer:A slight upturn of the nose after rhinoplasty is common and should not be of concern. This upturn is mostly due to swelling and should improve as this resolves. Keeping your head elevated and limiting activities will help. With time this should improve. If revisions would be necessary, they should not be performed until a full year from surgery.

I have rosacea. Is it best to treat this with products like skincare or with treatments like the laser?

by DR. MARK M. HAMILTON, M.D., FACS

Question:I have rosacea. Is it best to treat this with products like skincare or with treatments like the laser? Are there times when you would recommend a combination of the two? Answer:The first step to treating acne rosacea is developing a skin care regimen that includes topical prescription products. Once the rosacea is well controlled, laser treatments can be considered. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is an outstanding choice for treating both the broken capillaries associated with rosacea as well as the "blush". At Hamilton Facial Plastic Surgery, we use the Limelight IPL which provides gentle treatments with minimal downtime or side effects. Over a series of treaments, patients will experience improved skin... continue
