Pinching pain behind ear after facelift?
Discomfort after facelift
Jan 27, 2018
Some discomfort behind the ears is not uncommon after facelift surgery but should not be severe and should resolve within 2-3 weeks. Follow up with your surgeon closely.
Do I have a weak chin? And what can I do to improve my round face and give my face a better sha
Weak Chin
Jan 27, 2018
You chin is slightly receding based on this photo. A slight augmentation would be reasonable, but be careful, as too much augmentation will lead to a more masculine appearance. To highlight the chin/jaw/neck, liposuction of the neck would be a helpful addition to the rhinoplasty, with or without chin augmentation. Finally, you can augment the chin with dermal fillers after your rhinoplasty, and if you like the change, you can either continue with these injections or have an…
6 days since revision rhinoplasty and as soon as cast came off I was upset. Bulky tip after rev
Too early to judge
Nov 11, 2017
It looks like you had an open approach/external rhinoplasty. Additionally, this is a revision. In my experience, both of these are subject to longer periods of tip swelling. In general, a reasonable idea of the final result can be assessed when the cast is removed of the bridge only. Swelling tends to last longer and be more noticeable in the tip than in the bridge. You should start to have a better idea of the shape of the tip in 6-8 weeks, although very…
2 weeks post op: nose still seems to be curved and have dorsal hump when it should have been re
Be patient and discuss your concerns with your surgeon
Nov 11, 2017
Nasal swelling, while is can dramatically improve in the first 2 weeks after surgery, can take several weeks to months to fully subside. In general, selling lasts longer in the lower portions of the nose. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon; based on the techniques used, what you see may or may not be expected at this time.
Will I need a septoplasty or a rhinoplasty? My nose is obviously deviated.
Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty
Nov 11, 2017
Septoplasty is usually performed to improve breathing, and generally works on the portions of the septum not visible externally. Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose, and often involves treatment of the upper part of the septum, separate from surgery to improve nasal breathing. These two are often combined and not mutually exclusive, but generally have different purposes.
Can you break or crack your nose cartilage?
A complete physical examination
Nov 11, 2017
It sounds like you sustained a significant blow. A complete physical examination would be helpful to determine what the best course of action will be. If there is any compromise to your breathing or if you continue to see an external deformity of the nose you want corrected, see a facial plastic surgeon for evaluation. Depending on your symptoms and his/her findings, surgery may be an option.
Will Swelling Be Inevitable After Restylane Injection Under the Eyes?
2- 14 days, usually
Nov 11, 2017
Treatment with Restylane involved placement of material through a needle or cannula under the eyes. Ideally, this is placed below the muscle and against the bone. Even at this level, the covering (skin, muscle) is still very thin, and the area around the eyes “hides” the normal amount of swelling and bruising less effectively. Generally, these subside in 1-2 days, but occasionally can last 2 weeks or longer.
Can steroid shot or rasping help remove an AlloDerm implant?
Time
Apr 16, 2017
AlloDerm does undergo partial resorption over time. For major issues, it is unlikely it will resolve on its own and surgery is indicated. However, if surgery was relatively recent and the problem minor, it may continue to resorb. I would wait at least 6-12 months in such a case before reoperating.
Cast came off yesterday. The bridge is wider, like a lion. Have you seen this before or is it t
Swelling
Feb 26, 2017
There is always swelling of the nose, I would expect this to be fairly significant 1 day after the cast was removed. Keep your scheduled post-op visits with your surgeon and discuss it with him/her if you are still concerned.
I’m 3 weeks post-op and know to be patient, but are these my final results?
Please try to be patient
Feb 26, 2017
At three weeks after rhinoplasty, there is still considerable swelling. I generally tell patients that they will have a reasonable sense of the final result in 6-8 weeks, a pretty good idea at 3-4 months and a very good sense by 8-12 months. Every patient is different and the degree of swelling is affected by what was done during surgery, but there is still swelling at 3 weeks. It is always a good idea to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
Revision to add spreader grafts for Inverted V. Can a deformity occur?
Revision rhinoplasty
Feb 26, 2017
Even in the best hands, any surgery can have unwanted or unexpected effects. In particular, revision rhinoplasty by its nature is trying to correct a prior problem, and is done in the setting of prior surgery (with prior scar tissue, surgical changes, etc.) However, despite these caveats, in trained hands revision rhinoplasty is generally quite successful.
Swelling and redness 9 days after surgery and getting worse, is this normal?
Progressive redness and swelling is concerning- contact your surgeon immediately
Feb 26, 2017
While it is possible the redness and swelling could be related to the cast and tape and confined to the skin, increasing redness and swelling may indicate an infection. See your surgeon immediately for a complete evaluation. Based on what he/she finds, antibiotics and/or drainage may be necessary.
Wondering if I am a candidate for under eye filler as I was told I was not by one surgeon (Phot
Long-term versus temporary
Feb 26, 2017
At your age, a temporary answer means many, many treatments over a lifetime. You certainly could treat this with fillers, as long as you understand the effect is not permanent and will likely need repeated treatments at least every 1-2 years while you are young, probably more frequently as you get older. Surgery, while seemingly daunting, is probably a better, more premanent answer for you and could be done through hidden and/or very small inconspicuous incisions. Some…
Upturned Pig-like Nose After Rhinoplasty
Swelling at the tip can take time to resolve
Feb 8, 2017
Swelling at the tip of the nose can take time to resolve, but at 3 days it is not uncommon at all. Significant improvement in the swelling occurs within the first few weeks, and patients are generally quite presentable by 14 days after surgery. However, while most swelling may resolve within the first several weeks, tip shape continues to evolve over the first several months.
Pig nose. How much will it go down from this and will it be more defined?
Swelling after rhinoplasty
Feb 8, 2017
As this is your third rhinoplasty, you know that swelling takes time to resolve. Post-operative swelling generally lasts longer with each subsequent surgery. Every nose is different, but based on your prior experience after surgery, you can safely assume the swelling will take an additional 20% longer than the last surgery. Swelling at the tip will make the tip seem more rounded, prominent and often more upturned. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
