LAM FACIAL PLASTICS

I am a 59 year-old woman with sleep apnea and wear a full CPAP mask at night. How long do I have to wait after facial fat grafting before I can resume wearing the mask? Can this mask contribute to facial droop?

Thank-you

good question. i would probably wait a week but if you needed it just use it. i don't think it should cause a lot of problem if you don't tie it on tightly. i don't think CPAP should cause anything adverse in terms of drooping.
best,

Dear Dr.Lam,
Thank you for your reply. I probably can manage for a week without the CPAP. What are a few 100 hypopneas/night compared to the possibility of facial rejuvenation? Can you recommend any plastic surgeons in Montreal, Quebec who would be proficient in fat grafting?

truly what i do is an art and i do not believe anyone else does what i do. i design faces and safely create beautiful results. i have people fly in from across the world for my work. also, in my building i have a service called simple sleep services that uses an appliance to help with sleep apnea/snoring. have you tried that? maybe you could use that instead during the week or long term. however, if you come down here for that, it does take a few weeks to custom fit you.

thanks.
