I'm not satisfied with the simulation for rhinoplasty. What is your opinion please - especially th
Rhinoplasty computer simulation
Oct 20, 2019
Computer simulation in rhinoplasty is an excellent communication tool for both the surgeon and the patient. Surgeons can use the simulation to show what they feel is achievable, and patients can use these simulations to discuss with their surgeons their goals to see if these are achievable in their surgeons' assessment. The computer simulation is not an exact representation of a post-operative result. Additionally, computer simulation may be performed over and over...
Is it okay to get a facelift and then 2 months later get a tummy tuck?
Tummy tuck two months after facelift
Oct 20, 2019
My practice is limited only to cosmetic facial plastic surgery. Many of my facelift patients have had tummy tuck surgery within a short timeframe following their facelift surgery. As long as you don't any medical contraindications for tummy tuck surgery and your plastic surgeon is aware and agrees, there should not be any issues with scheduling your tummy tuck two months following facelift.
When can I go out in public without looking like I just had facelift surgery?
Recovery Time after Facelift
Aug 9, 2019
Although individual preferences vary, most patients are ready to go out in public after 10-14 days. Most of the swelling is resolved by that time, and makeup can be used to cover any bruising. If you are planning a significant public appearance, I usually recommend having your procedure at least 4 weeks prior to the event if possible.
What are the pros and cons to having upper and lower eyelid surgery separately?
Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery Together or Separately
Oct 20, 2016
There is really no difference in healing, recovery, or final
result by having upper and lower blepharoplasty surgeries done at separate
times. As you realize, the disadvantage
to having the procedures done separately is that you will have two recovery
periods and the additional cost of a separate anesthesia and facility fee. If you are unsure about having both
procedures done, other than cost, there is no disadvantage to having them
performed at separate times. I wish you
a...
How soon after porcelain veneers procedure can I have an ethnic rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty and Veneers
Oct 20, 2016
Veneers should not have any impact on rhinoplasty. Although your anesthesia team will take great care of you, I would let them know that you have porcelain veneers so that they take extra care to avoid damaging them. Good luck with your procedures and safe travels!
Is a Facelift right for me at 40?
Is a facelift right for me?
Apr 13, 2016
Age itself is typically not a factor in determining whowould benefit from a facelift. Indications, such as laxity and jowling, determine who would benefit from afacelift. Aging occurs at a different rate in eachindividual based on heredity, sun exposure, smoking, and other environmentalfactors. The laxity and jowling that concern youwould be addressed with a facelift procedure. Your skin texture should not be a problem in achieving a good result;you appear to have good bone structure and...
Can I drink coffee post facelift?
Can I drink coffee after facelift?
Apr 13, 2016
Always check with your individual surgeon, butI typically do not restrict my patients from caffeine after facelift. Caffeine may cause increased heart rate andblood pressure, but in moderation, should not pose a significant issuepost-operatively. I wish you a greatresult with your surgery!
Best Rhinoplasty Surgeon for wide shapeless nose?
Best Rhinoplasty surgeon for wide shapeless nose?
Feb 4, 2016
Perhaps one of the most important things to consider whenchoosing a rhinoplasty surgeon is asking how many of these procedures they doand reviewing results in pre-and post-operative photos. In most cases, both open and closedrhinoplasty can achieve the same goal, but individual surgeons often have apreference for which type of procedure they prefer or have more experienceperforming. Individual anatomy may alsoplay a role in which surgical approach is best. You have clearly spent a lot of...

Can a deviated septum repair be performed at the same time as a facelift
Jan 8, 2016
I routinely perform facelift and rhinoplasty/deviated septumrepair in the same setting.Mycolleagues and I recently published an article documenting the safety ofmultiple procedures in the same surgical setting.Many patients prefer to have procedures suchas these done simultaneously, as they can save on both anesthesia and recoverytime.You will be need to be evaluatedby a surgeon to determine whether your septoplasty is medically necessary, anda claim will need to be submitted to your...
How long to recover from septorhinoplasty, chin augmentation?
How long does it take to recover from Rhinoplasty and chin implant?
Dec 16, 2015
I usually performrhinoplasty under deep sedation, very often in combination with achin implant. Post-operative discomfort is minimal. Bruising andswelling vary with each individual, but if present usually presentaround the lower eyelids and usually resolves within one to twoweeks. A nasal splint is placed on the external nose and removed at7 days post-operatively. Patients return to light activities withina few days. I recommend no vigorous exercise for 1 week and contactsports should be...
Twilight or IV sedation for deep plane face and neck lift, with upper and lower eyelid?
Anesthesia for Deep Plane Facelift
Dec 4, 2015
In my practice, I
perform deep plane facelift surgery under IV (intravenous) sedation enhanced
with local anesthetic. During IV sedation, you are completely unaware of
your environment and, as a result, you will have no memory of your surgery.
Once IV sedation is started by our anesthesia team, I place local anesthetic
blocks into the surgical area to limit the amount of medications needed to
maintain your comfortable sedation. I prefer this type of
anesthesia because it offers the best...
What is the recovery timeline for lower facelift/smas, under chin liposuction and chin implant?
Recovery time after facelift
Dec 1, 2015
It is reasonable to expect to return to work after these
procedures within 2 weeks. Most patients
are able to resume normal activities within seven to ten days, but two weeks
allows a restful recovery without feeling pressured to return to work or public
life before you are ready. I usually
recommend delaying major public engagements, such as weddings or speaking
appearances, until four weeks following surgery. In my practice, make-up may be used within
one week of surgery. I recommend...
How Long Does a Deep Plane Facelift Last?
How long does a deep plane facelift last?
Nov 24, 2015
The Deep Plane Facelift isone of the latest advances in facelift technique. Underneath the facialskin lies a layer of fat and muscle called the SMAS (superficial muscularaponeurotic system.) It is laxity in the SMAS that is responsible for thejowling and sagging of the face. In the Deep Plane Facelift, the surgeonelevates and repositions the sagging SMAS to create a facelift that smooths thejowls and sculpts the neck. The result is a natural-appearing,longer-lasting result. A very common...

Facelift and Rhinoplasty can be performed together
Nov 4, 2015
In a healthy patient, both facelift and rhinoplasty may be performed together.The advantage to the patient is that he or she will have a shorter recovery period and less anesthesia.The other advantage is that the overall cost may be reduced by using a single anesthesia and facility fee.My colleagues and I recently published an article demonstrating excellent outcomes in patients undergoing multiple cosmetic surgical procedures in a single setting. I routinely perform multiple...
Worried and requesting a 2nd opinion. Any chance this is typical 8 days after a facelift?
Concerns After Facelift
Mar 20, 2015
This type of swelling is normal and expected on post-op day 8 from a facelift. The triangular pulling should gradually improve as the swelling resolves over the next few weeks. At this point, there is no reason to be worried or concerned.
