Doctor’s answers about Rhinoplasty

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Is it possible for revision rhinoplasty to make my nose look like my altered-photo?
Revision Rhinoplasty Candidate
Apr 27, 2020
Dear Sarah, Yes your goals are attainable with a revision rhinoplasty. Seek consultations with experts in the field and have imaging performed to show you the proposed results. Once the desired nose is agreed upon the surgeon can discuss with you the techniques that will be used to attain your result. Then review a large portfolio of before and afters to ensure expertise. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
Are these self-made morphs realistic and achievable and what else can be done to improve facial harmon
Are Self Morphs Realistic
Apr 19, 2020
Dear Viktor, Your morph shows reduction of the dorsal hump with tip refinement. These are common techniques performed in rhinoplasty surgery. It would be nice to see a front view of your nose as well however with that said, you should have similar results in the hands of an expert surgeon. Your only limiting factor will be the amount of reduction in the tip due to your thick skin. During consultation the surgeon can provide you with a very accurate imaging taking into consideration your …
Lower bleph before or after an open rhinoplasty?
Lower Lid Blepahroplasty and Rhinoplasty Combined Is Best
Apr 19, 2020
Dear Amy, I would have both of the procedures performed together. This will allow you to have one recovery and will also be more cost effective. These procedures are performed often in combination. Once you find your rhinoplasty expert then you can discuss with them your concerns with your lower lids and determine their expertise in combining these procedures. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
Would a chin implant make my profile stronger?
Chin Implant For Stronger Profile
Apr 4, 2020
Dear Almer, Yes chin implants are designed to provide a stronger profile however you are not a candidate for chin augmentation. Your chin is already quite strong. If you wanted to improve your profile I would suggest reducing the projection of your nose with rhinoplasty surgery. Seek some consultations with experts in the field and have imaging performed to show you the changes this would provide for you. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
What kind of procedure would you recommend for my nose? Do you get a lot of patients with similar nose
Rhinoplasty Candidate
Mar 31, 2020
Dear August, You have a very typical nose that we see in consulting rhinoplasty patients. You have a dorsal hump that needs addressing as well as a bulbous tip that can be refined. You should have an excellent result with rhinoplasty surgery in the hands of an expert surgeon. Seek some consultations aided with digital imaging so you can have a good idea of what surgery will provide for you. This will be a very nice moment for you to see how these refinements will balance your profile and …
I am not sure if I can get a rhinoplasty done with what appears on my CT scan?
Rhinoplasty Candidate
Mar 31, 2020
Dear lisbeth00, You can have both sinus surgery and a rhinoplasty at two separate times or performed at the same time. This will ultimately be decided if you find a ENT that is an expert in both rhinoplasty surgery and sinus surgery. Speak with some experts to discuss your options. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
How bad is my deviated septum based on the pictures and should I get it fixed?
How bad is my deviated septum?
Mar 30, 2020
Dear Mini_06, An intra nasal examination is needed to determine if you have a deviated septum. This is done during the time of consultation and if indeed you have one then a septorhinoplasty would be the best procedure for you. This is a combined procedure where the “septo” portion addresses the deviated septum and the functional aspects of the nose and the “rhinoplasty” portion addresses the aesthetic changes that are needed. Seek consultations with experts in the field and have imaging…
Do I have a pig-like nose and is surgery recommended?
Rhinoplasty Candidate
Mar 30, 2020
You have a wide nasal bridge and a wide nasal base and would be an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty surgery. Seek some consultations with experts in the field and have imaging performed to show you the proposed changes surgery can provide for you. Review the surgeons portfolio of before and after photographs to ensure expertise in natural looking male rhinoplasty results. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D. 
I’m looking into a rhinoplasty and heard a tip rhinoplasty is more expensive than a full rhinoplasty.
Is Tip Plasty More Expensive Then Rhinoplasty
Mar 28, 2020
Dear Awesome6398, A tip plasty is less expensive then having a a full rhinoplasty procedure. With that said, it is important to remember that the nose is a three dimensional object and if you reduce just one area and do not address the other areas the balance can be off. Most often patients require a full rhinoplasty in order to have a nicely balanced natural looking nose. Seek some consultations and have imaging performed to show you the proposed results. Once the desired result is agreed u…
