Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Articles

There has been a lot of news in the media lately regarding facial fillers and the COVID vaccine. As Dr. Steven Davis has mentioned in previous videos, swelling that may occur where your fillers were injected after receiving the vaccine is normal and shouldn’t be something to be overly worried about.

Still, if you experience severe swelling, consult your doctor immediately. Here at Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery, we recommend having an over-the-counter fix on hand after receiving the vaccine. Benadryl is an excellent choice to bring down the swelling that may occur.

For more on the reaction you may experience at the spot of your facial filler injection after receiving the COVID vaccine, tune in below as Dr. Steven Davis makes an appearance on the Daily Mail.

• Moving on now. We are learning about some new fears for people who have cosmetic fillers and have developed facial swelling after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
• Some patients have experienced a swelling in the areas where they had some injectables. And this has been seen before with other types of vaccinations. What happens is the body basically goes into a fight mode.
• Now, if you do find yourself in a situation where you are swelling up after getting a vaccination, you should, of course, consult your doctor immediately. But Dr. Steven Davis, a board certified plastic surgeon, also recommends having an over-the-counter fix ready.
• Things like a Benadryl.
• Dr. Davis also recommends a two-week buffer window between any fillers and the vaccine to prevent any swelling at all.

• [Narrator] She got rid of the dreaded “quarantine 15,” except for one problem area.
• You can see this fat hanging over.
• [Narrator] Jamie Wallace runs five miles a day and exercises with a trainer.
• And squeeze in, perfect, good.
• [Narrator] But she still can’t get rid of stubborn bra fat.
• It’s got to go.
• Hi, how are you?
• Hi Dr. Davis, how are you?
• Good, nice to see you
• Good
• Come on in
• [Narrator] Dr. Steven Davis of Cherry Hill, New Jersey says Jamie isn’t alone.
• This right here is what I’m seeing all the women coming in to talk about. No matter how much exercising that you’re doing, this skin and this little bit of fat really doesn’t go away.
• I’m embarrassed of it.
• [Narrator] She also hates needles, So Dr. Davis recommends a non-surgical procedure he calls, Fire and Ice.
• The first part of it is really freezing the fat and literally killing those fat cells. The second part is, I’m using really hot energy that’s gonna go into the skin and cause that skin to shrink and tighten.
• [Narrator] Dr. Davis marks the problem zones.
• This is more of the central area, almost like the bullseye of the whole thing.
• I’m very excited.
• [Narrator] Step one freeze the fat cells into ice-like crystals.
• It really does just go after the fat. It’s not gonna hurt the skin, It’s not gonna hurt the muscle that’s surrounding it, it’s not gonna hurt any of the other tissues. Is that the way it feels?
• It’s cold but it’s refreshing.
• [Narrator] Now, step two, Dr. Davis uses a radio frequency device that blasts penetrating heat to liquefy the fat crystals and also tighten the skin.
• The fat gets excreted by your body, over the course of the next three to four weeks.
• [Narrator] The left side hasn’t gotten the heat yet. Now look at the right side.
• This area here, is flatter. I can’t even squeeze this anymore. There’s no surgery, there’s no downtime. She could literally go back to like exercising later on today.
• [Narrator] Jamie is ready to check out her results. Even right after the procedure, you can see the difference.
• Wow, that’s a huge difference. They used to hang over.
