Is turning down the tip considered difficult surgery?
Is turning down the tip considered difficult surgery?
Oct 4, 2023
Is the photo before any surgery or after a rhinoplasty?

Turning down the nasal tip(derotating the tip) does require a full understanding of nasal anatomy as well as cartilage graft material--septum or ear in order to make the nose architecturally stable over the long term.

With experience it is a highly predicable and aesthetic surgery.

Sometimes I will use temporary filler to show the patient how their nose will look after surgery.

Hope this helps

What reasons would fat be added just to the upper face? Can this still look natural?
What reasons would fat be added just to the upper face? Can this still look natural?
Sep 19, 2023
Skeletal studies demonstrate that the aging process is one of bone and fat volume loss.
Facelifts cannot lift or redrape tissue that is no longer there.
Therefore properly performed fat grafting restores volume long term(10-15 years in my personal experience) as well as acts as a potent anti aging force by restoring growth factors and circulation.
Restoration of the forehead, brow, temple and lower lid natural gentle contours is one of the most underrated signs of youth in my opinion. I...

Sep 19, 2023
In my personal experience doing fat grafting, roughly 25 years, the most reliable means of reducing periorbital hyperpigmentation(dark blue color) is the use of body fat(adipose) derived stem cells which have growth factors and enhance circulation enabling the body's healing factors access to heal the skin

Sep 18, 2023
There are two separate issues: aesthetics and function.
Aesthetically you have a strong masculine nose, slightly large, however against a background of weak(sunken) cheeks, temple and forehead. These issues will all progress with age.
Furthermore, what if your nose loses the strong definition it now has?
Another alternative is to do fat grafts to the cheeks, temple and forehead in the operating room that will last 10-15 years based on 25+ years experience while enhancing skeletal blood...

Was this a primary(your first) rhinoplasty or a revision?
A pre-op (similar) view would be most helpful.
Do you have any medical issues?
Was there ever a healing wound in that area?

Is the skin normal color?
Is it possible to move the nostrils up and forward from the side?
Is it possible to move the nostrils up and forward from the side?
Sep 17, 2023
Yes, quite easily.
An alaplasty can reduce the size of the nostrils and or their shape including elevating the insertion into the cheek
Your nasal profile is very attractive; be careful not to change other aesthetic aspects for this one view
Weird swelling at top of nose - 1 year post op - swelling or cartilage?
Weird swelling at top of nose - 1 year post op - swelling or cartilage?
Sep 17, 2023
Are you referring to the subtle "upside down 'V" at the top of your nasal tip?
If so it's the upper edge of your nasal cartilages or the skin memory of where the upper edge of your cartilages used to be..................
Depending on which of the two possibilities it turn out to be will determine the best course of treatment.
Hope that helps
Why do some surgeons only offer general anesthesia for rhinoplasty & what are the advantages
What are the advantages of IV sedation versus general anesthesia for rhinoplasty?
Sep 17, 2023
The answer is an amalgamation of numerous factors including:
1. Surgeon preference
2. Anesthesia availability---some centers are not approved for general, only sedation

Personally I prefer and use general because:
1. Blood pressure is controlled and stable minimizing swelling and bruising
2. The anesthesia tube protects blood from leaking into the patient's throat during surgery, which can be swallowed leading to nausea and possible vomiting or into the airway
3. Most importantly the...

Will my midface go back to its original position or will it sag ever further due to stretch?
Sep 17, 2023
It would be very helpful to see your before photos(same view)
I would suggest not reversing the surgery as it may accelerate midface aging because your periosteal attachments have been released
Instead i would suggest (permanent) fat grafting to the lower and lateral cheek making the cheek prominence look less localized

Swelling 4 years after rhinoplasty tip graft, could lymphatic system be damaged?
Sep 17, 2023
Photographs would be very helpful----showing your nose at its best and at its worst
It could be nasal tip skin quality/quantity/fascial circulation/etc.
Most likely this scenario sounds like poor tip skin support

I am sorry you are so unhappy and find it hard to move forward.

Because your skin is thin you are able to see the to nasal tip cartilages---like two "McDonald's arches"---you are seeing the space between the arches.
The easiest remedy is a filler---
