Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Im black and had rhinoplasty 5 years ago. Can my uneven nasal tip be fixed?
Some contributors to tip symmetry not part of the tip itself
Jun 23, 2021
I believe this can be improved. Although I am basing this on your single picture, it appears you will need the nostril shape adjusted at the skin/lining level, cartilage graft into the tip to make more symmetry at the domes and lateral crura, and you may even need some soft tissue augmentation at the right alar base if that cheek is flatter so the alar base is sitting relatively sunken in compared to the left side. Your nostril sills may also need better symmetry to give an overall more...
Can I achieve a nice defined sharp tip like in pictures?
Skin texture more of a factor in rhinoplasty than you think
Jun 23, 2021
Simple answer: not in this lifetime. It appears you have relatively thick skin of your nose, especially in the tip. When this is the case, even overcompensating while modifying your framework won't show externally because of your skin texture. Secondary skin resurfacing could be disastrous if that was attempted soon after a revision rhinoplasty in an attempt to improve skin texture. You said the first picture is "prior to previous nose surgery 5 years ago," but you don't have a picture of...
Is drainage for explant helpful or dangerous?
Drains, the necessary "evil"
Jun 23, 2021
I have always drained these, no matter how "dry" they look at the end of surgery. I have always been impressed by how much drainage there is and how it tends not to start for a few days and may continue for weeks, even though I have always been light on the cautery during surgery so had less damage to the remaining tissues. The risk of a seroma becoming a secondary infection far outweighs any risk of infection from a drain. And by the way, capsule thickness has no correlation with toughness....
When can I remove my implants?
No time like the present.
Jun 23, 2021
As far as postoperative swelling, you should have peaked 3-5 days after surgery, so that stretching already happened. What you have by now will still remodel, but the size won't really change much. Change out any time; it sounds as if you didn't get what you asked for. Speak up to your surgeon, who may not realize your disdain. Did you pick the size or were you told what size to get without your input??
Explanting: with possible lift? What type is needed?
Perky can return with the right lift......and the left, too.
Jan 9, 2019
I recall from training days when the anchor was the only procedure where a significant lift or reduction was required. Actually, everything except the smallest degree of lift was done as an anchor in those days, and many will still use this THESE days. We were instructed to tell our patients, "you're trading one deformity for another. You're trading scars for your preop condition, and the scars could be bad!" Frankly, I don't know why anyone...
After explantation and paying for a lift, my breasts look deformed: What recourse do I have, I am e
Lifts require shaping of the breast tissues, not just the skin
Jan 9, 2019
I have to agree with one of the other docs that answered already, except that I would say the right procedure may have been chosen, but poorly executed. I have seen this before when other surgeons seem to have a poor design for the vertical lift in the first place, or did an insufficient creation of a breast mound with your tissue before closing. I've repaired many! The good news is that this can be "fixed" with a revision of the lift. Try to find a surgeon with...
Puckering after uplift. What can be done?
Fat transfer for lower breast wrinkling postop
Jan 9, 2019
I must admit that I haven't seen this, especially this far postop, in my 35 years of practice, but then healing is often unpredictable. The wrinkling should be considerably improved with some soft tissue fill such as fat transfer, but not excessively so it does not look puffy and full (other than the first 1-2 weeks). A scar revision to try and correct your pleating/wrinkling is not the first choice at this juncture. Give it a year after the soft tissue fill before anything...
Is my tummy tuck infected and botched?
Circulation, circulation, circulation
Jan 9, 2019
With real estate, it's location. With surgery, especially abdominoplasty, it's circulation. The scabs on your side in pictures 5 & 6 are my concern. This can be a sign of being too aggressive either with the lipo or when raising your skin flap. I doubt there is an infection from what you have shown. You will probably need a full revision eventually, but right now you need to concentrate on getting the wounds to heal, letting everything mature, and...
What do I do about my shape post 3 surgeries?
Not all tummy tucks were created equally
Jan 9, 2019
If your FIRST picture was your abdomen prior to the tummy tuck, I would have suggested a muscle wall repair with lipo of the abdomen to take care of your muscle spread after the twins and stimulate some skin tightening while also thinning your silhouette. Your pictures are confusing because the third picture has a pannus but I'm not sure from the note with the picture if that was prior to the TT or a revision. If that third picture was of your condition before TT, then...
Is this a bad tummy tuck? I'm looking for another opinion and revision options?
Crummy tuck
Jan 9, 2019
After reviewing your pictures, it appears you have a few problems here that time will not cure. The low scar has significant asymmetry in length from side to side while your midline depression ("front butt") points in the opposite direction as it goes "south." If your diastasic was "corrected," it appears this was either insufficient or not performed based on your rectus muscle bulges in your pictures. My further comments would not be appropriate in this forum....
How to fix upturned nose rhinoplasty? Could it make my nose look on how it was before?
Patience, Grasshopper!
Jan 9, 2019
The best solution at this time is WAITING. One of the laws of medicine is that, "wound healing takes a year." This is based on the various functions of different parts of our immune system that carry out the healing functions. There can be some really definite changes in size(swelling) and texture/flexibility of the nasal tissues and will impact how things appear. You may want to discuss any massaging or non-surgical treatment that can speed up the resolution of...
Is this possible callus formation after hump removal 5 weeks post op?
Post-rhinoplasty widening
Jan 9, 2019
Based on your pictures, it looks most probably like your nasal bones spread after surgery and not callus. Any cutting or fracture of your nasal bones in surgery will first form a scar along the fracture/osteotomy line, not make the whole bone be prominent. It could be soft tissue swelling over the bones from the dissection in surgery, but that usually doesn't present like this or at this time after surgery. You'll see what your surgeon says......
Is the sagging on my breast normal? 375cc under muscle, mentor texture, armpit incision
Not enough pocket
Jan 9, 2019
It appears your problem is upper fullness and insufficient lower pocket, not sagging. When the sub muscular pocket is tight at the bottom, the implant will bulge in the upper pocket. Think of a see-saw on the playground with a 300-lb person on the other end from you. You need to selectively stretch the lower pockets with pectorals muscle stretches and compression exercises on the upper half of the implants. Keep at it because exercises may resolve this while surgery...
Follow-up question: Is it normal my breast is still up high and I have shooting pain?
Common early finding vs. "normal"
Jan 9, 2019
I have done transaxillary approach since 1987 and have often seen this as an early postop finding. It has usually been corrected via exercises instead of more surgery. It appears the lower pocket may not quite be stretched out enough to allow the implants to "drop," which is usually NOT due to implant migration. You need to stretch your lower muscles. I have found that significant pressure (like CPR) on the upper implants will selectively stretch the lower....
Is it still possible to get implants put in through the armpit?
The Axillary Exchange
Jan 9, 2019
I may be a bit biased about transaxillary since I started using this technique in 1987 and I have done many revisionary procedures via this approach over the years. But the central question is if you need your capsules also removed (capsulectomy). With implants this old, that would be standard with replacement. Capsulectomy will be technically more thorough and technically easier via inframammary or areolar approaches, especially if you are under the muscle. Try to...
