Scar Revision Treatment 101

After an accident or surgery, your body can form scars in the process of healing lost or damaged skin. If you do form a scar, you may not only dislike the way your scar(s) looks, but they can also be itchy, painful, thick, tight and limit your movement. If so, you may be a good candidate for a scar revision treatment. In addition to improving the scar’s appearance, revision treatment can minimize pain and help make the nearby skin softer and more elastic.

The level of improvement that can be achieved through scar revision is based on the severity of your scar, as well as the size, type and location. In some cases, you may only need a single technique to see significant improvement, but your facial plastic surgeon may recommend a combination of techniques to achieve the best outcome.

Non-Surgical Scar Revision

Non-surgical treatments can effectively minimize the appearance of scars. They work most effectively on minor scars, such as those resulting from acne. Dr. Garcia may recommend:

Dermabrasion– Depending on the size of the treatment area, dermabrasion can take about 15 minutes to an hour. Following the procedure, the crusts will fall off in about one week, revealing new skin. It will take six to 12 months until you can see final results.
Microneedling – Microneedling may be used for burn scars, acne scars and surgical scars. This treatment works best on depressed, not raised, scars due to its collagen-inducing efforts. A raised scar means you already have an excess of collagen in the area.
Soft-tissue fillers – A soft-tissue filler injection appointment takes less than an hour and offers quick, long-lasting results.
Chemical peels – Chemical peels improve the appearance of mild scarring by using a chemical solution to remove the outer layer of old skin. The new skin that replaces it is usually smoother and less irregular in appearance.

Surgical Scar Revision

Surgical scar revision involves making the scar as smooth and invisible as possible by either recreating the incision, moving the skin around or even moving the scar to a less noticeable area. Your facial plastic surgeon will determine the best plan of action based on where your scar is located and how it looks.

What to Expect After Scar Revision Surgery

Following scar revision surgery, you should expect to feel some discomfort, as well as some degree of swelling, redness and bruising during the early stage of healing. It is important that you follow your surgeon’s after-care instructions to achieve the best results, which will include decreased activity for a period of time. You should also keep your head elevated when lying down and use cold compresses to decrease swelling.

Liposuction: What You Should Know

Liposuction, one of the most common cosmetic procedures in the world as it removes fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. A surgeon will typically perform the procedure on the legs, hips, buttocks, abdomen, neck, back, face, breasts and arms. Liposuction can also be performed in conjunction with other procedures, such as facelifts, tummy tucks and breast reductions. Before undergoing liposuction, it’s important to know the facts, so you can go in with realistic expectations.

Liposuction Works Best on Those with Firm, Elastic Skin

Liposuction is generally most suitable for adults who are within 30% of their ideal body weight. For best results, patients should have good muscle tone and firm, elastic skin. Your doctor will usually ensure you have realistic expectations of how your body will look following liposuction in order to promote a great level of satisfaction.

Liposuction Is Not a Weight Loss Procedure

In the majority of cases, liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the appearance of a particular area on the body. The procedure is designed to reshape or contour the body through the removal of fat deposits. Since liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, you should not expect to lose weight. However, maintaining a healthy weight is essential for long-term results.

You May Have Some Pain and Bruising After Liposuction

During liposuction surgery, your surgeon will give you general or regional anesthesia and possibly inject a local anesthetic into the area as well. This will slowly wear off following the procedure, and you may begin to feel some discomfort or pain, as well as minor bruising in the area. Your doctor can prescribe a pain reliever, but symptoms should subside in a few days.

As long as liposuction is being performed by a skilled physician, it is generally a safe procedure. However, like any surgery, there are risks, including skin discoloration, scarring, dimpling and bagginess. If you are interested in liposuction, make sure to find visit a board-certified surgeon with many years of experience like Dr. Phillip Garcia. With double board certifications in facial plastic surgery and otolaryngology, you can ensure you’re in good hands.

You’ll Need to Limit Your Activities for a Few Weeks

Following liposuction, you can typically return to work and normal activities within a few days. You should avoid strenuous activities and sports for about two weeks. You will see swelling decrease, and subtle changes occur in the area that received liposuction for the next several weeks. It may take a few months for swelling to resolve completely, after which, you will be able to see your full results.

The Results are Permanent

During liposuction, the fats cells are removed permanently. To maintain your new body after liposuction, exercise regularly and follow a diet that includes lean protein, fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy and whole grains.

How to Fix Droopy Eyelids

Are you tired of looking tired? You’re not alone. If you’re looking to get rid of the excess skin from your eyelids, you may want to look into blepharoplasty. This popular surgical eyelid procedure has been helping men and women look more alert, more awake and more interested in everyday activities, while reducing signs of aging, by decades. Let’s take a deeper dive into what blepharoplasty is and how it can positively impact your life.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, more commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure in which excess skin, muscle, and fat are removed from the upper or lower eyelid area. Because everyone’s blepharoplasty case is different, upper eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery can be done together or a patient can opt for one or the other, depending on individual concerns.

How Do I Know if I Need Eyelid Surgery?

Patients usually come in asking about blepharoplasty for either functional or cosmetic reasons. These are the most common complaints from patients coming in for either functional or cosmetic eyelid surgery:

Functional blepharoplasty. Patients who come in for a functional blepharoplasty often experience irritation from the excess folds of their eyelid skin rubbing together or have discomfort from overusing muscles that strain to lift the sagging skin in the eyelid area. Patients who undergo functional blepharoplasty also have disrupted vision from the weight of their eyelids weighing heavily around their eyes.
Cosmetic blepharoplasty. Patients who come in for a cosmetic blepharoplasty most often are concerned that their drooping upper eyelids or puffy under-eye area make them look endlessly exhausted, bored or older than they actually are. Choosing to undergo eyelid surgery can help alleviate this appearance and boost the patient’s self-confidence.

While a functional blepharoplasty and cosmetic blepharoplasty may feel like they’re on two opposite ends of the spectrum, realistically, may patients who come in for a functional blepharoplasty also are impacted by the appearance of their sagging eyelids and look forward to the cosmetic benefits as well.

What Happens During Eyelid Surgery?

An upper eyelid operation and lower eyelid operation have the same overall goals, but very different ways of getting to that goal.

During an upper eyelid blepharoplasty, a small, discrete incision will be made into the natural crease of the upper eyelid. Through that incision, Dr. Garcia will remove excess skin from the eyelid and excess fat from the inner corner of the eye.

During a lower eyelid blepharoplasty, a small incision will be made at the lower lash line, and excess tissue or fatty deposits will be removed from the area to decrease unwanted sagging and puffiness.

Am I a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your sagging upper or lower eyelids, or if your droopy eyes are getting in the way of your overall comfort, eyelid surgery may be right for you. Ideal blepharoplasty candidates are in good general health and do not suffer from any major ophthalmologic conditions.

Four Things You Need to Know about Ultherapy®

Ultherapy® is the only FDA-approved non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that can benefit every patient. For some patients Ultherapy® can be used as a treatment to tighten and lift the skin and muscle of the face, neck, and décolletage (chest). However, for other patients Ultherapy® can be used as a collagen booster to strengthen these same areas, slowing down the aging process. This procedure relies on ultrasound technology to visualize and treat the skin and muscle. This technique delivers heat therapy deeper than other non-invasive treatments for collagen stimulation. Being able to visualize the different tissue layers will ensure that the treatment is being delivered to where you will benefit the most. Ultherapy® is intended to create a natural, more youthful appearance. Here are some great things to know about Ultherapy® prior to scheduling your appointment.

1. Ultherapy® is an Investment

The cost of Ultherapy® treatment is going to be as unique as your concerns. In most cases, Ultherapy® is a one-session procedure. However, depending on the areas being treated, the average cost of Ultherapy® treatments could go up to $4,000. At Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery, we offer financing options to help you with your payments. Also, by booking on a Friday with Rosie, you can save 20% on regular-priced Ultherapy® treatments.

2. Mild Side Effects are Normal

While side effects are minimal and rare with Ultherapy®, mild swelling and bruising can occur following your treatment. This being said, the swelling and bruising you do experience generally subsides on its own within a few days. You may also experience some change in sensation, like numbness, for a few days following your treatment as well.

3. Results May Take a While, but They Last

We like to think of Ultherapy® as a transformational treatment. By this, we mean that you’ll be able to see the tightness of the treated area transform before your very eyes in three to six months following your treatment. You’ll be expected to see the full results of your Ultherapy® treatment about six months following your initial session. This is because Ultherapy® works by boosting the body’s natural production of collagen over time. While the results may take a few months to see, they can last for up to two years at a time.

4. Aftercare is a Breeze

There is no downtime after an Ultherapy® procedure. If you experience mild bruising and/or swelling, this can be camouflaged with makeup. Your skin may feel a little sensitive following your treatment. Sunscreen is always recommended after procedures to protect your skin. Other than that, feel free to continue your regular skincare routine as normal.

If you’re interested in learning more about how you can benefit from Ultherapy®, contact us to schedule your one-on-one consultation today. Dr. Garcia is excited to meet you, sit down with you, listen to your concerns and develop a fully customized treatment plan for you based on your ultimate aesthetic goals.

How to Get Rid of Red Spots on the Face

Are you tired of looking in the mirror to see your face riddled with broken blood vessels and capillaries? Makeup can only do so much to hide your uneven skin tone. Let the Nd:LYAG laser help you make the transition to more even-toned skin. This laser treatment is perfect for helping clear your skin of hyperpigmentation. Let’s take a more in-depth look at the Nd:YAG and how it can help transform your skin for the better.

What is an Nd:YAG Laser?

The Nd:YAG laser is a non-ablative laser treatment that helps you get rid of the appearance of broken capillaries on your skin. The laser being non-ablative means it treats your hyperpigmentation by gently heating the underlying skin tissue without harming the surface of your skin. This makes the Nd:YAG perfect for nearly all skin tones and textures. The quick treatment sessions require little to no downtime or recovery, making it the perfect treatment to get on-the-go or even during your lunch break.

How Does an Nd:YAG Laser Work?

The Nd:YAG simply works by heating the deep tissues underneath the surface of the skin. The wavelengths the laser emits specifically target highly red-pigmented cells. Once those targeted cells are damaged, they are naturally eliminated from the body and cleared from the treatment area. After just a few, quick treatments, you’ll be left with a glowing, even-toned complexion you’ll have all your friends asking about.

What Else Can the Nd:YAG Laser Treat?

While many patients come in to have their broken capillaries on their face treated, the Nd:YAG laser also has the ability to treat the appearance of your unwanted spider veins, red birthmarks and cherry hemangiomas anywhere on the skin. If you’re looking for a treatment to treat your brown spots or melasma, this may not be the right laser treatment for you. Consider our microneedling with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in addition to your Nd:YAG laser treatments for ultimate results.

What are the Benefits of Treating My Red Spots with the Nd:YAG Laser?

There are many benefits to getting an Nd:YAG laser treatment done at Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery, including:

Improves skin tone
Reduces rosacea and thread facial veins
Stimulates the production of new collagen
Quick, comfortable treatments
Minimal downtime and recovery

If you’re interested in learning more about the Nd:YAG laser and what it can do to you, call our office to schedule your one-on-one consultation with nurse practitioner Becky today. She’ll sit down with you, assess your skin, listen to your concerns and develop a fully customized treatment plan for you based on your budget, lifestyle and overall aesthetic goals.

Is Rhinoplasty Worth It?

Rhinoplasty, more commonly known as a nose job, is the most common facial procedure for men and women in the U.S. According to statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, nearly 220,000 rhinoplasties are performed yearly. With so many individuals going through the procedure, you have to ask yourself: Is it really worth it? Today, we’re going to dive deep into the nose job so you can make the determination for yourself.

Why Do Some People Get Nose Jobs?

There are two different reasons why people opt for rhinoplasty. The first is for functional reasons. Because rhinoplasty can change the structural integrity of your nose, many individuals who have a problem with a deviated septum may undergo rhinoplasty to fix it in addition to changing their nose’s shape. Other individuals may seek out a rhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons. During a cosmetic rhinoplasty, the structure of the nose does not affect its function, rather it focuses on the outward appearance of the nose. At Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery, a cosmetic and functional rhinoplasty can be done at the same time to fix both the appearance and function of the nose for ultimate results.

Can a Rhinoplasty Help Breathing Problems?

In short, yes. A common medical reason for rhinoplasty is difficulty breathing through the nose caused by a nasal obstruction. Your inability to breathe properly through your nose can start to interfere with your exercise, disturb your sleep, and even cause problems like snoring or sleep apnea. A functional rhinoplasty has the ability to change the structure of the bone and cartilage in the nose to improve your breathing.

How is a Nose Job Done?

At Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery, your rhinoplasty will be performed under twilight anesthesia without the use of intubation. Your rhinoplasty surgery is going to differ from everybody else’s as your nose and desired results are both as unique as your personality. In most cases, incisions are made inside the nose. On rare occasions, Dr. Garcia may need to make an incision in the crease at the bottom of the nose as well. Once your surgery is complete, your nose will be covered with tape and your recovery process will begin.

What Can I Expect During Recovery from Rhinoplasty?

Dr. Garcia doesn’t believe in packing the nose or placing gauze-like martial into the nose to absorb blood after your surgery. Instead, he uses absorbable sutures which will harmlessly dissolve into the body throughout your recovery. Most of the swelling inside and outside the nose will dissipate within the week following your surgery and most patients report being able to breathe through their nose just two or three days after their rhinoplasty. All splints and tape will be removed after just seven days, at which time you’ll be able to return to most of your normal daily activities. Typically, patients make a full recovery within two weeks.

Is a Nose Job Worth It?

If you’re unhappy with the appearance or function of your nose, rhinoplasty is absolutely worth it. Although it is a surgical procedure, it does not require the use of general anesthesia and the recovery period, being just two weeks, is relatively short. If you’re still trying to figure out if a nose job is right for you, come in for a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Garcia. He’ll evaluate the inside and outside of your nose, listen to your concerns, and develop a personalized treatment plan for you based on your ultimate health and aesthetic goals.

It’s taken me a few months to write this review. I had under eye filler by Becky and was unbelievably dissatisfied. I opted for the use of one syringe and I assumed half would be used in each eye for... an even look. I returned a few weeks later because one eye clearly appeared to have more filler than the second and they didn’t look even at all. She used the rest of the filler under that eye and immediately after leaving I could see a horrible lump of filler formed under my eye. I attributed that to normal swelling, but the big lump never went away and it has been 4 months. I called the office a few times about this concern and went in after a few weeks and told her I was very dissatisfied because there was a clear visible lump… that not only I noticed but several friends and family members have been bringing up at well! Every time I brought up the clearly visible lump she would say “if you see your before pictures there’s improvement” as if completely negating something I’m staring directly at. This back and forth went on long enough where I’d bring up the bump and she’d avoid the question. Until she finally admitted to seeing it and telling me “it’s just normal swelling, massage it and it’ll be gone in a few more weeks” . It has been 4 months and this horrible bump has not gone away. I made an appointment a few months ago to discuss options but was told I would seeing Becky again, and couldn’t bring myself to go in and re live this with her again. I will not speak as to Dr. Garcia’s abilities because I was recommended this office by multiple friends who have gone to him. But please do yourself a favor if you’re getting any kind of injectables or fillers. Do your research. I wish I would’ve read some of the reviews on Becky before I chose to have her stick needles in my face and botch the whole thing.read more

For my first time taking preventative measures, I'm not only lucky but very happy to have found this office for my first experience. And I dont plan on going anywhere else, unless Becky relocated. I... tend to overthink, and immediately regret spending too much on myself. But waiting years and finally finding a place where its like "home". The receptionists are fantastic and helpful. Becky is amazing. She is thorough and knows exactly what she is doing. She made the visits comfortable, patient, and knowledgeable on what is best and precise location. I tend to be a perfectionist, but I have absolutely zero complaints. The best investment you can make is in yourself. If you're looking for the real deal, look no further. Becky is amazing!read more

I went to Dr. Garcia for a rhinoplasty and the results were so much better than my expectations. I suffered with breathing problems due to structural issues with my airways and I had a bump that I... always wanted to get rid of. The very day my cast came off after the surgery, my life changed! I no longer felt self-conscious about my nose and I definitely look and feel more feminine. I was incredibly pleased with Dr. Garcia’s attention to detail and passion for his work. I did extensive online research on all plastic surgeons In the major cities surrounding Jacksonville and I only trusted Dr. Garcia due to previous work, testimonials and professionalism.read more

Dr. Garcia was referred to me by my friend who had a very successful procedure done seven years ago. Her results have always looked very natural and she still looks great. From beginning to end my... experience was very professional and personable at the same time. The staff catered to my every need and I felt 100% safe. The in-office surgical suite was very convenient and the anesthesia/surgical staff was very competent. Post-op was a breeze because of the great care and instructions that were given as the entire staff is courteous, kind, and outstanding at providing information and education. I could not have a better doctor than Dr. Garcia! He is highly skilled and excellent at his craft in addition to being one of the nicest doctors I have ever met. I am amazed at my very natural results which exceeded my expectations!read more

I have had two visits with Becky Hamilton, ARNP. We achieved great results with my procedure. She is warm, caring and spent the beginning of our initial visit talking about the results I wish to... achieve, and moreover, if my expectations were realistic. Becky then explained the procedure and the products to be used. I felt very informed and comfortable under her care. From the initial phone call to set my appointment to completing my procedure - a pleasant and wonderful experience. Thank you Becky and staff :-)read more

The minute I walked through the door I knew I was in the right place. Sheyla’s smile and attentiveness wiped away all my nervousness. I met with Kim and Dr. Garcia. They listened to by concerns... and provided options. I selected to have an upper blepharoplasty. Dr. Garcia and Rosie performed the procedure and within minutes I had eyelids. His skills are extraordinary!!! Their post-op care was amazing. Any questions or concerns were answers immediately. Once the sutures were removed I scheduled an appointment with Lori for a consult. She introduced me to a great product line for my skin. Not only do I have eyelids, my skin looks and feels amazing. I’m shocked at the compliments I receive. All due to Dr. Garcia, Kim, Lori, Sheyla and Rosie!! I can’t thank them enough. I can’t wait to enjoy the Medical Spa treatments.read more

Dr. Phillip Garcia did an outstanding job with my teenage daughter’s rhino-septoplasty.

He is never rushed and assures to establish and maintain superb level of care. My daughter’s breathing is improved and she is very happy with the natural looking results. His assistant, Rosie, has also been a wonderful support throughout.

I was so hopeful that I could get close to the results Dr. Garcia discussed with me at my consultation. My results are better than I even hoped for, and I wish I hadn't spent any time conflicted... about the decision to have a facelift at 60. I would do this over again in a heart beat! At six weeks out, I am looking on the outside, how I feel on the inside. I am 100% satisfied, every single day and so grateful to Dr. Garcia and his staff!read more
