Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Yael Halaas
Sourced directly from Dr. Yael Halaas's social posts and replies.
What are the risks and potential complications of fox eye thread lifts?
The extremely popular fox eye trend is not risk-free. Using threads in this area of the face can cause severe complications such as widened scars, tremendous pain, and infections from permanent sutures that may spit out. These complications often require surgical intervention to address, and patients may not be fully informed about the use of permanent sutures during the initial procedure.
What are exosomes and how do they work for skin and hair rejuvenation?
Exosomes are considered next-generation science. They are messenger packages produced by stem cells that travel to various cells, including hair and skin cells, to activate them. These exosomes contain growth factors, micro RNA, and messenger RNA, which instruct cells to reactivate, act young again, heal themselves, and contribute to healing the body.
Who is a candidate for blepharoplasty and at what age is it typically considered?
Upper and lower blepharoplasty is one of the most common procedures performed by facial plastic surgeons. While anyone could be a candidate, people as young as their 20s may consider lower blepharoplasty if they have fat puffing out in the lower eyelid. For upper eyelids, extra skin and fullness are common reasons, with many people undergoing upper eyelid blepharoplasty around age 40.
What is Dr. Halaas' approach to facelifts and what results can be expected?
Dr. Halaas considers facelift surgery the gold standard for facial rejuvenation, especially for those desiring a lasting, rejuvenated look. She uses deep plane facelift techniques to ensure natural-looking, refreshed results without a 'pulled' appearance. Incisions are meticulously hidden as close to the ear as possible, along the hairline and ear creases, with techniques and technologies used to ensure they fade as much as possible so no one can tell. The procedure lifts and repositions face and neck tissues, aiming to make patients look 10-15 years younger, with an improved recovery process.
What is Awake Upper Blepharoplasty and what are its advantages?
Awake Upper Blepharoplasty is a precise eyelid surgery performed right in the office under local anesthesia, allowing patients to stay awake and comfortable. This treatment removes excess upper eyelid skin that causes hooding or heaviness, opening and brightening the eyes for a younger, more alert look. It requires minimal downtime compared to traditional operating-room surgery and is one of the most effective ways to correct sagging eyelids, improve symmetry, and refresh the upper eye area while preserving your natural expression.
What is Dr. Halaas' approach to facelifts and what results can patients expect?
Dr. Halaas considers facelifts the gold standard for facial rejuvenation, utilizing techniques like deep plane facelifts to lift and reposition facial and neck tissues from within. This approach ensures natural-looking outcomes, avoiding a 'pulled' appearance and instead offering a refreshed look that can make a person look 10-15 years younger while still looking like themselves. Incisions are meticulously hidden along the hairline and ear creases to be as undetectable as possible, with techniques and technologies employed to maximize fading.

What is Emfemme 360 and what are its benefits?
Emfemme 360 is a fast, painless procedure involving a single insertion that provides 360-degree treatment to vaginal tissues. It improves circulation, restores blood flow, and allows patients to enjoy benefits immediately. It pairs well with Emsella and Emsculpt to strengthen vaginal pelvic floor and core muscles, leading to a feeling of increased strength.
Who is a candidate for blepharoplasty and when is it typically recommended?
Upper and lower blepharoplasty is a common procedure. Candidates for lower blepharoplasty can be as young as their 20s if they have fat puffing in the lower eyelid.
