Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I have a wide nose - it isn't crooked, just wide. Is there something I can have done to correct it? (Pho
Tip Rhinoplasty, Alar base reduction
Apr 5, 2018
From the single photograph provided, it appears that the lower one-half of the nose is proportionately wider. I believe a rhinoplasty that narrows the bulbosity of the tip, brings in the flare of the nostrils, narrows the base of the nose would provide a more refined, balanced nose.
2 months back FTSG surgery done on my nose: now it looks like dark spot, any other solution?
Time, revision after 1 year
Apr 5, 2018
It is not unusual for non-Caucasian skin types to develop hyperpigmentation in the process of healing. That is why is so important to avoid sun exposure in the first few months of healing. If this is the result of sun exposure, the darkened spot may not return. If sun has been avoided, there is a chance for improvement over time. I typically wait a full year before revising reconstructions unless they are disfiguring (causing emotional distress) or causing some kind of...
I had my septum pierced. What procedure is recommended?
Septoplasty
Apr 5, 2018
It appears that the septum has been displaced from the bony nasal spine where it normally sits. This typically requires a septoplasty to repair. If the cartilage has been so damaged that it no longer provides adequate support of the nasal tip, you may require cartilage grafts (typically taken from the septum) to rebuild support. Septoplasty may be covered by insurance if you are experiencing breathing issues through the nose. If there is a persistent hole from the piercing,...
Neck and jaw lift without surgery?
Kybella and Thread Lifting
Mar 23, 2018
Kybella may be strategically placed in areas of fullness to thin out the jaw line and neck. It is important the injector is very familiar with facial anatomy and where the marginal mandibular nerve, facial artery and vein course to avoid injury to these structures. Novathreads are an absorbable suture placed under the skin to provide suspension of the jowls and neck. These procedures are performed in clinic with just a little local anesthesia. The threads may be...
How to Add Dimension to a Flat Face?
Nasal refinement
Mar 23, 2018
I think you have a very beautiful, feminine look. You are young, have supple cheeks, nice angular chin and a great facial frame. I would not advise you to have any fillers based on this single picture as you run a higher risk of distorting your face with unnecessary fillers. Although difficult to make a complete assessment with a single frontal view, a tip rhinoplasty may be a better option for you. Refining the nasal tip from a more rounded appearance to a...
Can Dermal Fillers Create a 'Browlift' Effect??
Direct and Indirect brow lift with fillers
Mar 23, 2018
Yes, fillers are a great option to provide a lateral brow lift. A medium density filler such as Restylane, Restylane Defyne and Juvederm and be placed in the supraorbital region and temples to provide a natural lateral brow lift. Due to the natural aging process, there is often bone thinning and muscle atrophy in these regions, and placing filler in these regions will provide a more natural, rejuvenated look.
Which treatment would you recommend for my lower face and the aging I have in my mouth area?
Sculptra & Thread lifting
Mar 23, 2018
I would recommend Sculptra to the midface to provide some fullness to the cheeks which may help soften the nasolabial folds (lines from nose to corner of mouth), and Novathreads for midface and lower face suspension to further efface the nasolabial folds and marionette lines (corner of mouth to jaw). I would be careful with fillers placed directly in the crease as this may create a distorted appearance.
How long does internal swelling last after alar batten graft?
Displaced cartilage
Aug 30, 2016
Generally, the majority of the swelling in this region should resolve in 6 weeks. A good measure for persistent swelling is whether you see swelling externally in he nose. If there is persistent swelling and it is firm, this may be the cartilage graft. If it is causing problems with breathing (determined by your doctor with the modified cottle maneuver), you can generally expect that this will not significantly improve with time. The cartilage may have migrated or have...
If asian and black noses are similar (low bridge, bulbous tip, wide nostrils), why are the results so dr
Asian/African rhinoplasty
Aug 26, 2016
Yes! You are correct for the most part. Asian noses and black noses have more structural similarities just as Indian noses and Caucasian noses are more similar. However, compared to Asian noses, black noses tend to be wider at the lower 1/3 and the skin is somewhat thicker skin. This may affect the final result at the nasal tip, but in general, the principles and techniques should be the same. Without seeing pictures of the rhinoplasty results you are referring to, another consideration...
ENT nose duties when it comes to septorhinoplasty?
Find Facial Plastic Surgeon or Rhinoplasty specialist
Aug 25, 2016
Without any photos, it is difficult to assess the severity of your nasal issues. Based on the problems you listed, you may have some very complex cosmetic and functional problems with your nose. My advice is to seek evaluation by a facial plastic surgeon as they also have ENT training. By your description, you may have saddle nose deformity which would require rather extensive reconstruction of the nose. Regarding a deviated columella, this can be caused by deviation of the...
What is a more permanent fix to these under eye bags when I smile? I'm 23 years old.
Little bit of filler
Aug 25, 2016
The crease you are noticing is not a typical sign of aging. It is actually due to the position of your eyeball. The muscle that runs around your eye called the orbicularis oculi squeezes in a circular fashion when you squint. Without having examined you, I can only assume that your eyeball (globe) sits a little more outside of the eye socket. So when you smile and your orbicularis oculi contracts, it pulls around your eyeball and you can see the transition point between your globe...
How to get rid of that unwanted line?
Fat Transfer
Aug 25, 2016
Without having seen your preoperative photos, it is difficult to make any definitive statements. There is definite asymmetry of the eyelids. Not only is the swelling below the incisions asymmetric with the left being more swollen and red, but the fullness above the incisions are asymmetric. The left upper eyelid is much fuller. The absence of fat and hollowness of the right upper eyelid is what is causing the second line above the incision. To balance the eyes, I would recommend an...
I'm 20. What are these lines and how can i fix them?
May be allergies
Aug 25, 2016
As a facial plastic surgeon with training in otolaryngology (ear, nose & throat), I would first make sure that the folds are not due to a medical cause such as allergies. At your stated age, you should not be experiencing saggy skin. These changes typically occur closer to 30 years of age. The sagginess you are feeling may be due to fluid retention. Allergies often involve the eyes and swelling around the eyes. If this were a genetic problem, you would mostly have had these lines since...
