In Dr. Dolores Kent's own words

How Dr. Dolores Kent describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • You can see some of this liquefied fat coming out here and this is especially what we like to see when we're doing this kind of chin liposuction procedure
  • Dr. Dolores Kent prefers not to use other fillers during chin liposuction because she wants to ensure long-lasting results.

Specialization

  • But we also do fat transfer to the face, which can be more permanent than regular filler, and that does involve liposuction, but not as much, depending on how much fat we need
  • It's not the only procedure that we do, but we do a lot of these because of the social media aspect of it

Technique

  • Today I am doing something called a subcision and this is a procedure where we can go underneath scars and release them
  • Dr. Dolores Kent's practice has advanced to a more refined O-Shot procedure using PRP because it helps to generate elastin and regenerate vaginal tissue, sensitizing the area and increasing patients' feelings during intimate acts.

Technology

  • This is a special cannula, just a facial cannula that's designed to keep the cannula from interrupting the tissue underneath the skin and the vaser actually helps to cause some skin tightening and allows us to get really close to the skin so that we can get better contouring
  • Dr. Dolores Kent uses a special instrument designed to break up scar tissue during subcision.

Consultation

  • So we're getting a lot of calls and requests about hormone replacement therapy and counseling along those lines

Recovery guidance

  • Some of the things that he did to achieve such a great outcome were dietary discretion as well as wearing his garment full time, low carbs, vegetables, and good habits

Safety

  • The practice utilizes tumescent anesthesia for chin liposuction procedures.

Results

  • It actually even changes the shape of the face by releasing some of this fibrous tissue and the fat that's underneath the chin and we see some dramatic changes in the faces and cheeks and jawlines just like in the chin
