Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Osteotomy to heighten the bridge of my nose?
Rhinoplasty
May 15, 2016
A photo would be helpful to offer more specific advice. However, it is not common that an osteotomy alone can add much projection to the bridge of the nose.  If you have a deficit in the dorsum, injectable fillers can be a good nonsurgical alternative and also allow you the ability to build it up sequentially until you are satisfied.  In fact, it may be possible to use fillers alone in certain circumstances.
Constricted breasts, what are the best options for me to have a more round shape and what implant s
Constricted breasts
May 14, 2016
Constricted breasts represent a form of arrested development where the central mound does not expand completely.  The tuberous or constricted breast is best treated with subglandular (subfascial) placement of an implant, frequently with multiple radial partial thickness incisions in the breast.A periareolar incision is usually used for the best access and ability to make the radial releasing incisions.  Also, a periareolar mastopexy is often required and can be accomplished, incorporating t…
Is there anything I can do about this rippling?
Postoperative Breast Augmentation Question
Aug 20, 2015
Based on the limited photos, your implants appear to have good placement and symmetry. The best option in my opinion, if you have adequate donor sites, would be to perform fat grafting to thicken the soft tissue coverage over the implants and hide the rippling.
My boobs post-op are not round and have bights.
Postoperative Breast Augmentation Question
Aug 20, 2015
Based on your photos, the implants appear to be too low and the medial origins of the pectorals muscles need additional dissection to enlarge the pockets and create a smooth arc to the medial borders.
Juvederm filler for dark circles and hollows ! 20 years old.
Dark circles under lower eyelids
May 13, 2015
From your photo, it appears you have dark pigmentation under the lower eyelids. I would suggest treating the pigmentation with lasers or peel solutions and then assess the contour. If there is a tear trough depression, dilute filler may be an option.
What are the lines around my mouth and how do I get rid of them?
Lines around mouth
May 13, 2015
Your photos appear to show moderately prominent nasolabial folds. The depth of the folds vary from person to person and tend to be hereditary in nature. You would be an excellent candidate for injectable fillers. I would recommend a consultation with an experienced cosmetic specialist.
Local or general anesthesia for mentalis muscle resuspension?
Chin surgery
May 2, 2015
Mentalis resuspension implies that previous surgery has been performed. If that is the case, it would depend on what was needed to correct the deformity. Some patients may be able to have “local anesthesia” in an office setting and other patients may require IV sedation or general anesthesia depending on their pain tolerance and the nature of the procedure.
Is gaining weight for a second BBL healthy for a fit active person? Is it even possible? How much s
BBL question
Apr 19, 2015
You should be able to have some enhancement of your desired areas. There also appears to be a little excess in the lateral upper hip regions.As far as gaining weight for more transfer, I would say that it does not make sense. Each individual fat cell increases with weight gain. Weight gain does not add more cells until there is massive weight gain when metaplasia occurs.After the transfer, if you settle back to your normal weight, the transferred cells will shrink and the…
Who can help me get to the bottom of why I still have pain and discomfort 3 years after having a fa
Postoperative facelift question
Apr 19, 2015
Photos and more specific information about your pain would be helpful for evaluation. Pain can be difficult to treat because it is a process that is not visible. If an anatomical finding is present that is known to be associated with pain, such as scaring, open wound, neuroma, etc., then there is a reasonably good chance to improve or alleviate the pain.It is very unusual to have chronic pain following a facelift without some type of abnormal physical finding. I would…
What can I do with my big nose?
Rhinoplasty question
Apr 19, 2015
There are only frontal views and complete comments cannot be made on the structure. It appears your nasal tip needs to be narrowed and possibly the fat removed from the undersurface of the skin. The cartilages would need to be narrowed with a combination of trimming and suturing to a new contour.The dorsum appears to be slightly thin and would need to be widened in the middle vault. Filler in the upper lateral lip to expose more of the mucosa would balance the lips.
Would fixing my deviated septum fix my asymmetrical nose?
Rhinoplasty question
Apr 19, 2015
Oftentimes when there is an asymmetrical nose, not only is the septum deviated, but many of the other structures of the nose are asymmetrical. In addition, the bony skeleton of the face is the platform for the nose and may also be asymmetrical.A comprehensive exam of your nose and face would be needed to formulate the right plan for your situation, however, a complete rhinoplasty with nasal bone osteotomies would probably be required to straighten your nose and provide the best…
What is happening with my nose? Do you think the nose bridge might be collapsing?
postoperative rhinoplasty question
Apr 19, 2015
From your photo, is appears you have very thin skin on the dorsum and what you are seeing is the nasal bones that were reduced.The internal crusting is a concern and needs to be evaluated. Chronic use of cocaine intranasally can lead to ischemia of the mucosa and a septal perforation which in turn can lead to collapse of the dorsum (saddle nose deformity).The external concerns may be able to be treated with injectable fillers alone without surgery. A comprehensive exam and…
