Does Dr. Yoho Touch Up Other Surgeons’ Cosmetic Surgery?

Dr. Yoho loves to visit Yosemite with his family

We are happy to have a look at problem surgeries. Sometimes patients lose faith in their surgeon due to a surgical complication or sometimes due to inexpert work or personality problems. We are happy to evaluate these people on a case-by-case basis and as long as your attitude is good and you don’t have an unreasonable expectation about your result, we’re happy to help. Note that in some cases it may be tougher to get quite as good a result in the secondary case as if we operated to begin with, because of scarring issues or healing issues and sometimes because of psychological issues. We work hard on surgeries such as “tummy tuck tune-ups,” which involve liposuction of the appropriate areas surrounding a surgery which was originally a tummy tuck. Some people have weight gain after liposuction or tummy tuck, and these cases can be improved a great deal also. We also have the ability to touch up the “pixie ear” of a facelift which has been inexpertly performed. Sometimes this involves a small touch-up facelift, and the general rule of thumb is that waiting at least four to six months after the prior surgery is the best policy. The cases that are even farther from the original surgery than this, that is, several years afterward, sometimes react even better to the touch-up surgery, because the tissues have had time to completely mature. 

The rule of thumb in soft tissue work is that four months is a minimum before a repeat surgery is done in general. However, we believe that healing processes, especially in darker skins, can go out a year or more. In orthopedic surgery, or bone surgery, just as a matter of interest, the healing curve is two years or even longer. Dr. Yoho has experienced this himself with his own adjustment to a foot fracture which is much better at three years than it was at two years.

But in any case, please feel confident to have a free consultation at Dr. Yoho’s office for other surgeons’ work and we’ll see if we can improve things. And we’re happy to give opinions about what we think would be beneficial or how improvement might be best effected.

we think strong evidencewomen with psychological problems are more likely to opt for

surgery. I thought it was a failed plastic surgery. But I was wrong. It was such a miracle

that she survived from the shot. This is one of the situations wherein plastic surgery is
in good use. She's such a strong woman to survive all of it.i think if you get more detail
