A Recent Question….
I’ve been considering liposuction to remove fat for years but have been afraid to take the first step. How do I know if liposuction is right for me?
A: You are not alone so thank you for taking the first step and reaching out. Many patients are afraid or feel like they can’t talk to anyone before their consultation and procedure. Some people have stubborn areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Here are some indications that liposuction may be right for you.
You have a minimal amount of excess skin
No matter how disciplined you are with […]

Q: I always thought collagen pertained to your lips but I keep reading more and more about how it affects your overall skin. Can you please clarify?
A: We love talking collagen here at Queen City Plastic Surgery so we would be happy to clarify! It sounds like you’d be surprised to know that 70% of the protein found in your skin comes from collagen. Not only does it help keep those kissable lips, kissable, but also helps to keep your skin plumped, resilient and yes…..wrinkle-free!
We are all born with bountiful collagen but whether we like it or not […]
Q: Hey Sarah! I keep hearing about this Kybella treatment. What is it exactly and can Dr. Haque administer it?
A: I’m so glad you asked because we love talking about Kybella here at Queen City Plastic Surgery! Men and women love Kybella because it’s a quick treatment for the double chin that we can do in the office with little to no downtime. Kybella is an FDA approved non-surgical treatment that addresses the fat which forms the double chin look. Pretty cool, eh! In certain cases, Kybella can replace the high costs and invasive treatment associated with liposuction.

Even though the calendar says January is the start of the new year, in my mind, it has always been September. Autumn has always been a beautiful time of new beginnings and transitions in my life…..and that goes for my skincare too! Here are some great tips to help you transition your skin from any potential summer damage and prepare it for winter months.
Protect those luscious lips!
It is inevitable; every year, dry, cracked lips. Yuck! Start moisturizing them now with a non-petroleum based lip balm to prevent those wintery lips. We love Epionce Lip Renewal to keep the lips moist.

This can range from small and simple to large and complex. Protect yourself and help prevent skin cancer with sun protection. Exposure to the sun is also one of the most aging things for your skin. Remember there is no such thing as a safe tan, it’s really sun damage!

Five Ways to Spring Clean Your Skincare Routine
When the temperatures rise, you put away your heavy winter apparel and bring out your lighter spring clothes. The same should apply to your skincare! Many people find that they need to focus on layering lighter products in the warmer weather and to replenish their sun protection.

Making Nutrition Part of a Healthy Lifestyle
-Sara Klingelberg
March is National Nutrition Month®! The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics takes this opportunity every year to promote nutrition education. This includes the importance of making informed food choices and developing healthy, sustainable eating and physical activity habits.
Now that we’re in March, New Year’s resolutions sometimes fall by the wayside. People start off in January by making a lot of changes then burn out and their efforts gradually decline. Many people don’t think about nutrition as part of their daily lifestyle so I wanted to write about how embracing a healthy, wellness-focused […]
MicroNeedling, also called Collagen Induction Therapy is an aesthetic procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles (microneedling the skin) in order to induce production of collagen.
Sounds scary right? Turns out, It’s not!
Sara, the patient care coordinator at QCPS, and I decided to try it for ourselves and found that it reaped amazing benefits for our skin. We both have different skin types (hers is more dry, mine a little more oily) but it was great for both of us.
I have always been a fan of the sun, but it doesn’t love me back. As a child my […]
