Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. James N. Romanelli,
Sourced directly from Dr. James N. Romanelli,'s social posts and replies.
What is Kybella and what should I expect from treatment?
Kybella (D-oxycholic acid) is an FDA-approved injectable treatment to dissolve submental fat, which causes a double chin. Patients typically require 2-3 treatments, and significant results may not be visible after just one session. It's a great option for those seeking a non-surgical approach.
How does submental liposuction compare to Kybella?
Submental liposuction, often performed under local anesthesia, is a one-time surgical procedure that effectively removes submental fat. While Kybella offers a non-surgical alternative, Dr. Romanelli notes a personal bias towards surgical solutions like liposuction for their definitive, single-session results.
What is the process and recovery for Basal Cell Carcinoma excision?
For basal cell carcinomas, the practice typically takes a 3mm margin around the lesion, and the excised tissue is sent to pathology. Patients can expect the skin to stretch, heal, and improve over time. There's a possibility the brow may appear slightly elevated after the procedure, but the skin's natural elasticity, especially in younger patients, aids in recovery.
What are the post-operative care instructions after breast implant removal, capsulectomy, and lift?
After breast implant removal, capsulectomy, and a lift, patients are advised to wear a comfortable, supportive bra. Follow-up appointments are typically scheduled at one week and then approximately one month post-surgery.
What is Dual Plane Breast Augmentation and what are its benefits?
Dual Plane Breast Augmentation, a technique established since 2001, involves incising the bottom part of the muscle at the inframammary fold to release it. This allows the breast implant to sit just under the breast tissue for a more natural glandular look on the bottom, while still retaining the advantages of muscle coverage on the top.
What are Dr. Romanelli's ratings for popular beauty trends?
Dr. Romanelli rates various beauty trends as follows: Retinol (10/10), Microneedling (7/10), Collagen powder (7/10), Red light therapy (5/10), Face yoga (5/10), Snail mucin (5/10), Dermaplaning (5/10), Dry brushing (3/10), and Mouth taping (0/10). He emphasizes that not every trend lives up to the hype.
What Sciton laser treatments does the practice offer and what are their benefits/downtime?
The practice offers a range of Sciton laser treatments tailored to individual skin concerns and goals.
* **BBL (BroadBand Light)**: Our lowest downtime option, excellent for pigment issues like sun hyperpigmentation, redness, and rosacea.
* **Moxi**: Often paired with BBL, it addresses fine lines and texture.
* **Halo**: Requires more downtime and is more aggressive, treating fine lines and deeper wrinkles while boosting collagen for anti-aging.
* **ProFractional**: Visibly improves the appearance of acne and surgical scars.
* **Contour TRL**: Offers the longest downtime but provides the most dramatic results as a full-face resurfacing treatment, ideal for winter.
Many of these treatments are stackable for comprehensive results. Consultations involve a skin assessment and discussion of downtime to determine the perfect treatment plan.
What are the details of the Breast Augmentation special pricing?
For a limited time, Breast Augmentation procedures are available starting at $9,100. To qualify for this special pricing, procedures must be booked during the summer season. Spots are filling quickly, so interested patients should inquire soon.
