Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Matthew Brace
Sourced directly from Matthew Brace's social posts and replies.
What is Dr. Brace's philosophy on facial rejuvenation results?
Dr. Brace aims to enhance facial harmony without changing identity, believing rejuvenation should look like the individual, just refreshed. Every procedure is customized to the individual to achieve these natural-looking outcomes.
What are the goals and mechanisms of a Face & Neck Lift with Dr. Brace?
A Face & Neck Lift elevates and repositions deep tissue to restore jawline definition and reduce jowling.
What does Submentoplasty achieve?
Submentoplasty tightens and contours the area under the chin, improving the cervicomental angle.
What are the indications for Lower Blepharoplasty?
Lower Blepharoplasty addresses under-eye heaviness to create a more rested, youthful look.
What is Upper Blepharoplasty and what does it involve?
Upper Blepharoplasty, sometimes called a skin pinch, removes excess skin and, when appropriate, fat from the upper eyelid. It aims to create a more open, refreshed appearance and can be performed for functional or cosmetic reasons. The procedure is relatively quick, often performed under local anaesthetic, with the incision carefully positioned within the natural crease of the upper eyelid.
How does Dr. Brace approach comprehensive under-eye rejuvenation?
Dr. Brace often combines transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with fat transfer and lower-lid CO₂ laser resurfacing to address the under-eye area from multiple angles. The goal is to create a smoother, brighter, and more refreshed transition beneath the eyes while maintaining a natural appearance.
What are some general realities about surgical healing and outcomes?
Scarring is an inherent part of any surgery. Even with the best surgical techniques, genetics cannot be changed, and the body's healing process cannot be completely predicted. The practice cannot completely control how a patient's body heals or how their hair will respond to an incision.
What are some potential complications of facial surgery?
Potential complications include hematoma (a collection of blood under the skin that can occur after surgery) and the rare but serious possibility of a facial nerve injury, which can affect facial movement. Dr. Brace discusses these and other risks like bleeding, bruising, infection, and the possibility that healing may not meet expectations during the consent process.
What is the recovery like after Upper Blepharoplasty?
Most patients experience swelling and bruising during the first 1-2 weeks, with many returning to work and normal day-to-day activities within approximately 7-10 days. However, recovery isn't always 'picture-perfect,' and patience is required. Healing continues beyond this, and it can take several months for the final result to fully settle, with final results often seen around four months post-surgery. Every patient's experience and recovery timeline is unique.
What is the recovery timeline for Lower Eyelid Surgery and CO₂ Laser Resurfacing?
Results from lower eyelid surgery and CO₂ laser resurfacing continue to settle and refine over time, evolving well beyond the three-month mark.
Is revision surgery a possibility with Rhinoplasty?
Yes, for rhinoplasty, the possibility of needing a revision surgery is an important conversation Dr. Brace has with patients during the consent process.
How important are realistic expectations for surgery?
Patients should approach surgery with realistic expectations and a clear understanding of what’s involved. Knowing the risks doesn’t mean you should be afraid of surgery, but rather prepared for the journey.
What is Dr. Brace's approach to informed consent?
The goal of informed consent is to ensure patients understand not only the potential benefits of a procedure, but also the risks, complications, and uncertainties, so they can make an informed, educated decision that’s right for them with realistic expectations. Informed consent fundamentally starts with being informed, and the surgical consent form is about ensuring this understanding, not just legal protection.
Where can I find more information about the Upper Eyelid Surgery process?
The video series 'Kate's Story' is a valuable resource for individuals considering upper eyelid surgery, providing insight into the entire process from consultation to surgery, recovery, and final results.
Does Dr. Brace recommend seasonal skincare planning?
Yes, it's important to have a plan in place for your skin as the seasons change. Fall, for example, is a great time to focus on refreshing, brightening, and hydrating your skin. Pairing treatments like Moxi and BBL with medical-grade skincare designed to brighten, hydrate, and support your skin contributes to a healthy complexion.
How important is SPF application, especially with laser treatments?
SPF is a year-round commitment, as sun exposure still occurs even when the sun isn’t as strong. Sun protection becomes even more important when incorporating laser treatments into your skincare plan, as your skin may be more sensitive to the sun after these treatments.
When should I plan aesthetic treatments for the holidays?
If you’re hoping to look and feel your best for the holidays, your treatment timeline starts now. Some treatment results require time to become apparent, and appointment slots tend to fill up quickly as the holiday season approaches, so advance planning is key.
