Q. i have had very puffy eyelids for around six months and tried all creams drops been to doctors and they remain swollen what other remedies are available thankyou
A. It sounds like an allergy so stop using the moisturiser and make up you are currently using. Try a short cource of oral antihistamine. Have you had your thyroid functions tested recently?

Q. How do I choose the best surgeon for a mini jaw lift? What happens if things go wrong? Is it true that if a particular facial nerve is severed, it is irreversible and leads to a lop sided face?
A. Do you mean a mini face lift/ neck lift or a jaw shortening procedure? In face lifts nerve injury can occur but this usually recovers in 3 months.

Q. Hi. i have long n thin face. I want my face to look fuller. More rounder. Will chin or cheek surgery help me?
A. Have you considered microfat grafting?This uses your own fat harvested with liposuction. The fat is then injected in to the ares of the face that needs filling out. It is done under local anaesthetic. About 70% of the fat remains thus we sometimes have to do a follow up further injection. The cost in the clinic in Leeds is £800 per sessionRegardsLeRoux Fourie

Q. Is it possible to just have the ear lobe tucked in or reduced around the bottom of the ear rather than the usual pinning back of the ears. Also wot would the scarring / recovery time be for such a procedure. I would have thought it would be possible?
A. The ear lobe can either be set back or reduced under local anaesthetic. The cost is about £1000. Ask your GP to refer you to a plastic surgery unit in a private hospital near you or find a surgeon on the BAAPS website (www.baaps.org)

Q. I have had sculptra injections in Feb this year and after 4-6 weeks my face swelled and a firm lump was felt in my cheeks. Both sides have swelled every 4-6 weeks, not both at the same time ever sincve feb. I have been to various medical consulltants to check out if it is my teeth or ENT problems and all have no answer other than they have never seen it before. The lumps are evident whern you touch the inside of my cheekso in the deep tissue of mjy face but not visible when it is not swelled. I even paid to have an MRI scan to see if it would disclose the problem but it only highl;ighted l oval vascular lump in my left cheek and 2 smaller ones in my right. All the sepcialists I have seen have siad they have never seem this before and believe it relates to sculptra. Can you help please? My GP is at a loss and I am getting no where with the prctritioner who did the injections. She says it can happen with scullpture but she has never seen it swell and go down as it does in my case. I do not take any antibiotics as it goes down itself after 3-4 days.
A. It is the sculptura. I have seen this type of reaction. IO would suggest yiou see a plastic surgeon. I have tried injecting the area affected with Hyuronic acid (Hyalase) but in the end had to cut it out via a face lift incision . This particular patient had Sculptura placed by a nurse .See a BAAPS registered plastic surgeon

Q. I want to know if liposuction can be used to get rid of gynecomastia. No matter how much I work out or how underweight I try to stay, I can’t get rid of this problem. Can this problem be fixed with liposuction?
A. Liposuction , in my opinion , is the best option for gynecomastia correction. It leaves hardly any scarring, reduces the breast tissue very well and is least likely to leave contour defects commonly seen with open surgical removal

Q. I have size 34 FF breast and I am thinking of starting a family in about 5 years. My breasts cause me constant low back pain, and I don’t think I can wait to have a family before I get my breasts reduced. Are there any complications to having my breasts reduced before starting a family?
A. A breast reduction reduces the chances of being able to breast feed. If the breasts are causing a lot of physical pain, you have to balance up the advantage of pain relief with the possibility of not being able to breastfeed.You also have to consider that your breasts may get bigger in pregnancy and droop again after confinement

Q. Hi there, I wonder if you can help me please. Im wondering if dermal fillers can be used to help cellulite or stretch marks even if its temporary?
A. Dermal fillers are not appropriate for cellulite. Liposuction can help if you have localised fat that is causing the cellulite but dont waste your money on fillers
