Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Short Nose and collapsed nostril after Rhino – follow up
short nose and collapsed nostril
Jul 21, 2023
Hi there!
You may have a residual caudal septal deviation which is why the nostril cartilage (medial crural footplate) is pushed more into the nostril creating a “smaller” nostril. You may have lost some projection or the caudal septal extension graft may have shifted leading to a “short nose.”
Can nose collapse after rhinoplasty due to no nose retainer?
nose collapsing
Jul 21, 2023
Hi there! Nose collapsing following rhinoplasty is typically due to lack of supportive nasal cartilage. Lack of cartilage may be due the request of narrowing the nasal tip, fracturing the nose to narrow at the nasal bones. This can also happen following dorsal hump reduction. There has to be a balance in the external aesthetic and creation of a smaller nose and breathing.
Is Septorhinoplasty safe if you have a heart condition?
PVS and rhinoplasty
Dec 21, 2021
HI Billiebob, yes any patient with more severe medical illness should have surgery at a hospital based setting to ensure that overnight monitoring is available if needed. You would have to ask your plastic surgeon about privileges. Most of us will have privileges at hospital based settings for patients like yourself. Good luck.
I was wondering if I would be able to do rhinoplasty without ‘fixing’ my bridge bump? (Photo
dorsal hump and bulbous tip
Dec 21, 2021
HI there, yes a rhinoplasty can be tailored to your needs. I often have patients who request to leave their dorsal hump and elect to have a tip rhinoplasty. We can leave the hump alone. The price depends of geographic location and amount of work needed to be done.
Tip of my nose hangs down when I smile – What procedure do you recommend to fix this? (photo
ptotic nose and long nose
Dec 21, 2021
Hi there, a rhinoplasty would help you with the longer nose and nasal ptosis with smiling. The length of the nose can be altered surgically to an extent. As far as the dropping nose with smiling a rhinoplasty can also help you out.
Is it safe to get a rhinoplasty if I have a genetic risk of blood clots?
nasal bleeding
Dec 21, 2021
Hi there, we would typically send you to a hematologist to evaluate you for blood clotting disorders. The more worry some clots can be very scary and precautions would need to be had prior to rhinoplasty. It could be using a blood thinner during the surgery or any recommendations from the hematologist. typically you could have more bleeding and bruising.
Can my uneven nostrils be fixed? I am only unhappy with one (marked “x”) and want my other s
Uneven nostrils
Aug 31, 2021
Hi there, yes after a septoplasty the nostrils will not typically change. To change the shape of your nostrils you will need a rhinoplasty. Small changes are more difficult to give.
Is it possible to damage your nose tip by pressing to the gap between left and right cartila
Bifid nasal tip
Dec 15, 2020
Yes it’s common to have a small space between the lower cartilages. Typically it would be difficult to damage the ligaments connecting the cartilages unless you had surgery. You might have nasal swelling due to the manipulation however you should have it checked out by a rhinoplasty surgeon if it persists.
Could I get a hump and a slight size reduction without altering the tip too much?
Hump reduction
Dec 14, 2020
Hi there, yes we can do a hump reduction only. You can chose to alter the hump and also do nasal tip refinement.
Can you achieve a dorsal hump in Rhinoplasty?
Augmentation rhinoplasty
Nov 4, 2020
Hi there, yes adding volume to the nasal dorsum is possible. Having a discussion with your surgeon about how much is very important. Having a computer simulation will be important to see what you are looking for and if it’s possible to achieve your goals.
Nose bridge changing. Can anything be done to make it appear better?
Septal perforation
Oct 31, 2020
Hi there, a septal perforation if it’s small doesn’t usually cause any changes in the nose itself unless it’s near the support systems of the nose. We would need to do an internal exam of your nose to see the perforation. Once the perforation is there it typically doesn’t enlarge unless there is further trauma. So once it’s there the outside of the nose should not change more unless it’s the supportive parts of the nose. Typically it’s more of a saddle nose that can occur.
Is it possible for the nose to grow as a side effect of fillers and laser treatments? (Photo
Nose growing
Jul 18, 2019
Hi there. I agree with most answers. The nose structures can weaken over time and changes outside of the nose can make the illusion that the nose has changed. For example if your cheeks were fuller and are no longer full.
What do you think about a brow lift or blepharoplasty?
blepharoplasty versus browlift
Jul 16, 2019
An in office exam would give much more detailed information. Typically to determine the excess skin lifting up the eyebrows in clinic is informative to see if the eyebrows are at a good position or too low. In females they should rest above the orbital rim. If you like the results a browlift may be all that is needed. However, if there is still excess skin then a browlift in combination with a blepharoplasty may be needed.
Been extremely insecure about my nose. What other surgery should I get to feminize and defin
facial feminization surgery
Jan 25, 2019
Hello thanks for reaching out on realself. Feminizing the face is about creating harmony between different features. Generally females have a shorter forehead height, so a scalp advancement with small brow lift will give you some benefits. Fuller cheeks on profile view is also very feminine. In terms of the lower part of the face a buccal fat reduction and jaw bone recontouring liposuction would also improve facial femininity.
What information can you offer so I can get a more feminine face?
feminizing surgery
Jan 25, 2019
Hello, sorry to hear about your concerns. I agree with midface (cheek augmentation). Your natural hairline shape is very feminine. Buccal fat reduction would narrow the bottom third of your face as well and jaw contouring.
