Dr. Prasad, would poor lifestyle decisions such as smoking/poor diet only slow the healing process or change how the final results look as well?

Hi dr. Prasad! My name is Z, an asian with keloid-prone skin. Most of the scars on my body grow into keloid. And I’m planning to have a non-surgical eyelid procedure on my current monolids (it makes me looks tired and drowsy all the time, that’s why I have been putting a lot of thoughts on doing upper eyelid correction). Will it be safer to undergo this non-surgical procedure than the surgical blepharoplasty? Will the piercing and stitches cause keloid too? Looking forward to your reply. Thank you so much, doc 🙏🏻

Make sure you look up “hunter eyes” before you make them too round.

Hello Dr Prasad, my wife wants to get her hooded eyes operated. Her question is how do you determine whether to perform brow life or remove skin from the eyelid?

Hello Doctor. I am very impressed by the quality of your content.

I am undergoing adult strabismus surgery this year and I was wondering if that would preclude me from getting upper eyelid blepharoplasty later on? Is there a risk in terms of the muscles involved? Should they be performed in any particular order? Thank you.

Hi, how can i send you my eye picture with the question

[mg-zpgr]

Doctor I have a question about my male pattern baldness. I’m 16 turning 17 and my hairline is receding aswell as minor thinning in the middle part of my scalp. On my receding sides I can see hair but it’s very small will using minoxidil help grow them hairs so they look abit thicker and if I use it on the top of my scalp will it help to make that part more dense.

Mine look ragged and it looks like a lot of skin was not removed. I had it done at another surgery, but I am not hopeful of the final look.
