Question 1

What is the 'RG Triple Threat' procedure for jawline contouring?

Accepted Answer

The 'RG Triple Threat' is a signature procedure that combines buccal fat pad removal to reduce cheek bulk, Vaser chin liposuction to reduce volume in the chin/neck area and contour the entire jawline, and J-Plasma to tighten the skin. Filler is also used to enhance and lift the cheek by focusing on bone structure, which Dr. RG prefers over soft tissue filler to avoid a 'heavy' or 'chipmunk' appearance. This comprehensive approach changes the entire lower face, lifting the cheek and making patients look refreshed, rejuvenated, and as if they've lost weight. Results continue to improve over time.

Question 2

What should I expect from PRP for hair loss?

Accepted Answer

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a treatment offered to jumpstart the hair growth process, especially for hair loss caused by stress, postpartum changes, or other situations, particularly in women. While many of these hair loss situations may resolve on their own, PRP can accelerate recovery time. It's important to note that results with PRP can sometimes be variable, but the practice has achieved many great outcomes.

Question 3

What is the process and recovery for an Upper Blepharoplasty?

Accepted Answer

An upper blepharoplasty is a quick and artistic in-office procedure, typically taking between 30 to 45 minutes (under an hour). It is performed using local anesthesia, which patients generally tolerate very well, remaining comfortable throughout and avoiding issues like nausea or constipation associated with general anesthesia. The incision is strategically placed on the eyelid crease, ensuring it won't be visible once healed, and helps recreate the natural crease and space for makeup application. Stitches are usually removed around day four, and most patients are completely healed within five to seven days, looking more refreshed, younger, and with more open, brighter eyes and improved eyelash position.

Question 4

What is the BBL and Moxie laser treatment process and recovery?

Accepted Answer

The BBL (BroadBand Light) and Moxie laser treatment is a highly recommended combined procedure that stacks both lasers to treat multiple layers of the skin simultaneously, leading to stronger, faster, and more visible results in one session. The process begins with 30 minutes of numbing, followed by protective goggles and gel. The BBL laser uses light to heat the skin, producing collagen and targeting redness, sun damage, and pigment. The Moxie laser, a fractional laser, then rejuvenates the skin, improving tone and texture, refining pores, and boosting collagen. This combined process can be applied to the face, neck, and chest. After the lasers, exosomes and Plated™ Serum are applied to promote healing, calm, hydrate, and speed recovery. Immediately after treatment, the skin may be swollen, red, and puffy, with approximately four days of downtime. The pain level experienced during the procedure is typically around a 6 out of 10.

Question 5

What specific procedures are included in the 'RG Triple Threat' for jawline contouring, and is it surgical or non-surgical?

Accepted Answer

The 'RG Triple Threat' is a signature procedure that combines buccal fat pad removal to reduce cheek bulk, Vaser chin liposuction to reduce volume in the chin/neck area and contour the entire jawline, and J-Plasma to tighten the skin. Filler is also used to enhance and lift the cheek by focusing on bone structure, which Dr. RG prefers over soft tissue filler to avoid a 'heavy' or 'chipmunk' appearance. This comprehensive approach changes the entire lower face, lifting the cheek and making patients look refreshed, rejuvenated, and as if they've lost weight. Results continue to improve over time.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

An upper blepharoplasty is a quick and artistic in-office procedure, typically taking between 30 to 45 minutes (under an hour). It is performed using local anesthesia, which patients generally tolerate very well, remaining comfortable throughout and avoiding issues like nausea or constipation associated with general anesthesia.

Question 7

What's the typical downtime after a Sciton BBL treatment, and how many sessions are usually recommended for sun damage?

Accepted Answer

Question 8

What does Dr. Gavidia say about their approach?

Accepted Answer

PRP is generally considered better than doing nothing for hair loss.

Question 9

What does Dr. Gavidia say about their techniques?

Accepted Answer

I am showing you the areas that I'm going to accentuate during surgery including the midline and the oblique line. So the difference is that I focus on the entire face, not just one area. And normally, I try to enhance the bone structure as opposed to the soft tissue. During vaser liposuction, the doctor focuses on the entire jawline to create a nice contour and a contrast between the jawbone and the neck.

Question 10

What does Dr. Gavidia say about what they specialize in?

Accepted Answer

The RG triple threat procedure consists of taking the buccal fat pad, performing vaser chin liposuction, and using filler to lift the cheek. The practice offers a procedure referred to as 'BBL for Arms'.

Dr. RG uses Vaser technology to meticulously sculpt and define the abdominal muscles.

Question 12

What does Dr. Gavidia say about safety?

Question 14

What does Dr. Gavidia say about results?

Accepted Answer

The practice has achieved many great results with PRP. The surgery results in a nice definition of the obliques and the midline.
