To see all my #beforeandafters, follow @drkarenhortonbeforeandafters !! Before and after #MACSlift #necklift in a 70 year old woman. She had mild #jowls and signs of #facialaging that she wanted to improve, and her facelift from 20 years ago did not address her neck. She was delighted to learn about the MACS lift technique to lift the neck, with its minimal scar and low risk to the facial nerve. A #minimalaccesscranialsuspension (#MACS) lift resuspended her #SMAS (deep ti...ssues of the cheek and jowls) and provided better definition to her jawline. #Liposuction removed a small amount of fat from under her chin. Follow up photos are shown 3 months after surgery, with a close-up of the scar in front of the ear at 3 months. The incision is pink, as expected for this early stage of scar maturation it will fade over time on its own. She is applying scar gel twice daily and loves her initial results!

Repost from @theaestheticsoc Do you have facial fillers? Reported incidents of adverse reactions to the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine are very rare and reported facial swelling reactions have been mild and responded quickly to oral steroids and/or oral antihistamines. Having a history of dermal fillers should not bar someone from being vaccinated.... The risks from acquiring and being infected with the COVID-19 virus far outweigh the risks from a reaction to one of the vaccines if the patient has a history of using dermal fillers. You should know: None of the cases required the use of an EpiPen or hospitalization. None were considered life-threatening. There were no long-term complications in those who reported having facial swelling after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. As with all vaccines, swelling of the face and lips is not an uncommon side effect. Patients with a history of these complications should have an EpiPen readily available. Follow the link in our bio for more details on facial fillers and the COVID-19 vaccine. The Aesthetic Society will continue to monitor for any further reported incidents and will share updates.

What’s the best time for laser resurfacing? Well, WINTER, of course! We recommend laser treatments in the winter because patients aren’t spending as much time out in the sunwhich can irritate the skin after more intensive treatments. Take advantage of winter weather with a laser resurfacing treatment! https://bit.ly/3kwJSmK

Happy #allhallowseve EVE!! How are you spending it!!!

Annual #mammogram complete! Scroll to see my actual imaging and the lovely #mammogramtechnician Sylvia who made me feel comfortable. It’s clear where the dense breast tissue is around a #siliconebreastimplant. It doesn’t matter if #breastimplants are #subglandular or #submuscular for imaging. #mammogramssavelives #breasthealth #breastcancerdetection #breastcancerscreening

Repost from @plasticsurgerycenternashville #Breastcancer represents around 25% of all cancers in women, but thanks to advances in medicine and early detection, the five year relative survival rate for women with breast cancer is around 90%! - If you haven’t already, take a moment today to schedule your next #mammogram and don’t underestimate the importance of a monthly self breast-exam. By becoming more familiar with your breast tissue, you’re more likely to notice cha...nges should they occurr. . . . #pscon #livepretty #savethetatas #nashville #tn #girlpower See more
