Do you recommend Sculptra or HA (hyaluronic acid) filler for temple hollowing? In general, I prefer Sculptra for this area. Hollowing of the temples is a common sign of facial aging, and filling that area out can create better facial harmony. Although HA fillers like Vollure or Restylane work fine in this area, I believe Sculptra is safer, longer-lasting, and may have better results.
I have an overhang over my C-section scar. What are non-invasive options? If you have an area of subcutaneous fat above your C-section scar but no excess skin, then a non-invasive fat reduction procedure like Sculpsure can help thin the fat by approximately 20-25%. However, if you have excess skin hanging over the C-section scar, then only surgery (like a mini tummy tuck) can remove it. This operation can be done in as little as an hour-and-a-half with relatively minimal recovery time.
What is the best way to get rid of brown spots on my face? I recommend combining brightening creams with IPL treatments for the fastest results. IPL treatments will cause the spots to slough off from the outside, while brightening creams (like my YOUN Beauty Brightening Cream) will reduce the pigment from the inside by suppressing melanin. Currently we are offering 20% off IPL treatments at YPS.

How do you handle complications during surgery? Complications are the worst part of being a plastic surgeon. No matter how good a surgeon is, they will get complications. It’s inevitable because the human body can react in unexpected ways. That’s why it’s important to choose a real board-certified plastic surgeon for your plastic surgery. We undergo years of training and continual education so that we can handle virtually any complication that comes our way.
I have mild laxity of my face. Should I use Sculptra or threads? NOT THREADS! Threadlifts create scarring and their results only last about 6 months. Sculptra is a nice biostimulating filler but doesn’t lift or tighten. If you have mild laxity, then I’d recommend a combination of applying a topical retinol every night and RF microneedling treatments such as Morpheus8.
