Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Kahlil Andrews

Sourced directly from Dr. Kahlil Andrews's social posts and replies.

What is buccal fat pad removal and what should patients know about it?
Buccal fat pad removal is a surgical procedure that removes a portion of the naturally occurring fat located deep within the lower cheek, through a small incision inside the mouth. This procedure aims to create more definition through the lower cheeks and reduce the appearance of overly full or 'chubby' cheeks, which can be caused by the varying size of the buccal fat pad. Dr. Andrews emphasizes that patient selection and the amount of fat removed are especially important considerations, as facial fat naturally changes with age.

What is Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) and what are the recovery expectations?
Brachioplasty, or arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to address excess, loose skin of the upper arms, often remaining after significant weight loss. This loose skin often cannot be improved through diet or exercise alone. The procedure removes this excess skin and reshapes the upper arms to create a smoother, more defined contour. Patients should know that at one month post-op, healing is still early, and results will continue to improve over the coming months as swelling decreases and tissues settle.
Source →
What are Dr. Andrews' preferences for breast implants and how does he address breast asymmetry?
Dr. Andrews frequently uses Motiva implants, noting their advanced technology designed to prioritize biocompatibility, natural movement, and long-term breast health. Motiva's SmoothSilk®/SilkSurface® technology features a uniform, microscopically engineered surface to reduce inflammation and promote favorable tissue response. Internally, a highly cohesive silicone gel maintains integrity, allowing the implant to move and feel naturally. Recognizing that breast asymmetry is extremely common, Dr. Andrews customizes procedures to each breast, often using different implant sizes (e.g., 300cc on one side and 285cc on the other) to achieve optimal symmetry and natural results.
Source →
What is Augmentation Mastopexy and how does it address post-weight loss breast changes?
Augmentation Mastopexy combines a breast lift with implants to address both volume loss and sagging, often experienced after significant weight loss when breast tissue and skin do not retract with the body. The procedure removes excess skin, reshapes, elevates the breasts, and restores lost volume and upper-pole fullness. Post-weight loss breast surgery is highly individualized, and a consultation is crucial to determine the best approach. Patients should expect breasts to settle into a more natural position by 9 months post-op, with swelling decreasing and scars maturing over several months.
Source →
Can Augmentation Mastopexy and Brachioplasty be combined?
Yes, Augmentation Mastopexy and Brachioplasty can pair well together. Combining these procedures allows patients to complete both during one surgery, overlapping the recovery period and avoiding two separate downtimes, as both involve similar upper-body and arm movement restrictions.
Source →
What is Otoplasty and how does it correct prominent ears?
Otoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct prominent ears, which can be a significant source of self-consciousness, especially for teenagers. A common anatomical reason for prominent ears is an underdeveloped antihelical fold, a natural cartilage fold that helps position the ear closer to the head. During otoplasty, the cartilage is carefully reshaped to create or strengthen this fold, allowing the ear to sit in a more natural position while maintaining its normal contours and proportions.
Source →
What are the considerations for body contouring after massive weight loss, including the Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck?
After significant weight loss, skin often loses elasticity and does not shrink with the body, leading to substantial loose skin on the abdomen, arms, breasts, and thighs. This excess skin can cause irritation, hygiene challenges, and discomfort. For patients with significant abdominal skin excess, a traditional tummy tuck may not suffice. A Fleur-de-Lis tummy tuck removes excess skin in both vertical and horizontal directions, offering more comprehensive contouring for massive-weight-loss patients. Dr. Andrews emphasizes safely staging procedures based on the patient’s anatomy, priorities, overall health, and recovery considerations, rather than attempting to address all areas at once.
Source →
What is Renuvion and when is it an alternative to an arm lift?
For patients with excess arm fat and mild-to-moderate skin laxity, Renuvion offers an alternative to a traditional brachioplasty. Renuvion uses radiofrequency energy with helium plasma beneath the skin to create controlled tissue contraction, improving skin tightness and contour after liposuction. A significant advantage is that it avoids the long incision and resulting scar of a traditional arm lift. However, Renuvion is not a replacement for an arm lift in every case; patients with significant excess or hanging skin may still achieve their best results with surgical skin removal.

What Men's Wellness Treatments does Dr. Andrews offer?
Dr. Andrews offers personalized, private, and discreet men's wellness treatments designed to improve confidence, address erectile dysfunction, and provide non-surgical options for penile enhancement and growth. The philosophy behind these treatments emphasizes reclaiming confidence in every aspect of life, beyond just physical change.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$157

Payments

6

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Kahlil Andrews received $157 across 6 payments in 2025. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Smith+Nephew, Inc..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
