Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Catherine S. Chang
Sourced directly from Dr. Catherine S. Chang's social posts and replies.
What are the options for correcting hip dips?
Dr. Chang offers several options for addressing hip dips: filler, Sculptra (polylactic acid that stimulates collagen production), and fat grafting. Fat grafting involves liposuction to remove fat from areas like the abdomen or hips, then transferring it to the hip dips.
How long do the results of hip dip correction last?
The longevity of hip dip correction varies depending on the method used. Filler typically lasts 9-12 months, Sculptra lasts around three years (possibly up to five), and fat grafting results can last longer, though downtime depends on the liposuction involved (typically a couple of weeks).
Is fat grafting to the hip dips as dangerous as a BBL?
No. Fat grafting to the hip dips is considered a safer procedure than a BBL because the hip dip area does not have the large vessels present in the buttocks.
What is a septoplasty and how can it correct a deviated septum?
A septoplasty is a procedure that can correct a caudally deviated septum. If you are happy with the external appearance of your nose, a septoplasty will not affect it. However, if you want the external appearance adjusted, it can often be done simultaneously with a septoplasty.
How can facial asymmetry be improved?
Dr. Chang notes that mild facial asymmetries are common. She offers Masseter Botox to one side of the face to improve symmetry, and filler can be used in certain areas to create more facial symmetry.
What is otoplasty (ear pinning) and how is it performed?
Otoplasty, also known as ear pinning, involves making an incision behind the ear to hide it. The cartilage of the ear is exposed, and Mustardae sutures (horizontal mattress sutures) are used to fold the ear back to create a more defined antihelical fold.
What is the recovery like after otoplasty (ear pinning)?
Downtime after otoplasty is about one week.
What are the benefits of tretinoin and how should it be used?
Tretinoin and retinols are forms of vitamin A that affect cells at a DNA level, upregulating collagen production. Tretinoin helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, smooth skin texture, and even out skin tone. It requires a prescription and should only be used at nighttime. For sensitive skin, start with tretinoin once a week, wait three days before the next application, and let skin acclimate for 1-2 weeks, then increase to every other night, and then every night.
What kind of sunscreen does Dr. Chang recommend?
Dr. Chang prefers and recommends mineral-based sunscreens, specifically zinc or titanium oxide sunscreens, because they block a larger spectrum of UVA and UVB rays. She recommends reapplying sunscreen every two hours if possible, noting that sunscreen is the best anti-aging product for the face.
Is chewing on a ball a good way to define the jawline?
Chewing on a ball can technically make your jawline more defined by making the masseter muscle larger, creating more bulk and widening the face. However, this effect is due to the widening of the face, and it can exacerbate TMJ issues. It's not helpful for people who already have a wide face, and Dr. Chang personally wouldn't recommend it. If you try it, keep your expectations low.
Is a BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) a dangerous procedure?
Yes, the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is considered the most dangerous plastic surgery procedure. The high mortality rate is due to the presence of large veins in the buttocks, which can lead to fat entering the veins and traveling to the heart, brain, and lungs, causing immediate death. While the death rate has decreased from 1 in 6,000 to about 1 in 15,000, it's still important to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in the procedure.
