FAQs About Partridge Plastic Surgery in Princeton, NJ and North Brunswick, NJ

Most dermal fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring compound in the body. When injected into the face, it attracts water and causes plumping, which helps fill in shadows or wrinkles and can even create a subtle lifting effect.

The majority of swelling and bruising from dermal fillers typically subsides within four days and is usually completely gone within two weeks. At that point, patients can see the full and final results of their treatment. If you are getting dermal fillers for the first time, it’s a good idea to allow a recovery window afterward, just in case it’s needed.

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that repairs lax abdominal wall muscles and removes loose, excess skin below the belly button. Recovery involves a gradual increase in activity over the course of six weeks, after which most patients are fully cleared to resume unrestricted exercise.

• A small amount of swelling may occur; this is a natural response of the body and isn’t something to be alarmed about.
• Swelling may not be an immediate reaction but a delayed one; again, this is normal.
• Use ice compresses immediately after the procedure and as often as is comfortable for the first 24 hours, applying for no longer than 15 minutes at a time.
• Keep your head elevated as much as possible for the first 24 hours. This will allow gravity to help reduce the swelling. The more the head is kept above the heart, the better.
• As much as possible, refrain from sleeping on your face the night that you receive your filler injections.
• Avoiding alcohol, ibuprofen, and aspirin both before and after the injections will also help keep bruising and swelling from developing.
• In the rare case that significant swelling doesn’t subside in 5 days or if all swelling doesn’t subside in about 2 weeks, please reach out to us at the office.

Breast implants can be used to add volume to small breasts, fill up a deflated skin envelope after pregnancy or weight loss, and create a new breast mound after mastectomy for breast cancer. All implants are imperfect devices and will likely need to be replaced at least once in your lifetime.

Saline implants are a bit firmer and heavier than silicone ones. If a saline implant deflates, however, it is usually obvious and a short surgery can be done to remove and replace it. Silicone implants can provide a more natural look and feel. However, a rupture is harder to detect, and the surgery to remove and replace it can be more involved.

Breast reduction surgery not only reduces breast size but also lifts and repositions the nipple-areola complex for improved comfort and appearance. It can be paid for out of pocket or may be covered by insurance if considered “medically necessary.” Each insurance provider has its own criteria for coverage. Typically, they require documentation of symptoms such as chronic neck and back pain, skin irritation or rashes, shoulder grooving, and evidence that other treatments—like physical therapy or medications—have not provided relief. Contact your insurance company to understand the specific requirements for coverage.

As we age we often lose the fat in our faces and our skin thins and loses its elasticity.

We also perform laser skin rejuvenation and peels which help brighten the skin. Call to schedule your consultation with Dr. Partridge to see which solution is right for you.
