Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
What’s the youngest age for rhinoplasty & how big a change can be made?
Rhinoplasty in teenagers
Apr 29, 2022
Rhinoplasty can be performed in the teenage years; however, the determination as to when is correct is to be made by your surgeon. Typically the answer is 15 or older for women and 16 or older for men. Again, this is not an exact answer and only consultation and evaluation with a surgeon can determine what is correct for each patient.
Is it safe to have an infected baby tooth pulled 1 week before rhinoplasty?
Dental abscess and rhinoplasty
Apr 29, 2022
As a general rule, we try to make sure that people are completely healthy prior to moving forward with rhinoplasty. A typical course of antibiotics would be seven days long after treatment of the tooth/abscess. I would anticipate waiting to ensure the infection has completely resolved rather than doing the rhinoplasty so close to your dental procedure.
Should I be worried about my saggy lower eyelid after a zygoma reconstruction surgery? (photo
Lower eyelid sag after surgery
Dec 6, 2018
Sometimes with the approach to the lower eyelid through the skin, you can get sagging of your lower eyelid. I would recommend that you see a board certified Plastic or Oculoplastic surgeon for evaluation.
Are facelift scars normal out side of the hairline and to have hair cut? Can anything be done
Scars after facelift
Sep 28, 2018
Thank you for asking this question. Scarring is a complex process that involves time and patience. The redness around your scars will continue to decrease and the scars will become less visible. After 6 months, you will be able to assess where you are and discuss how your scars are doing. I recommend staying in touch with your surgeon throughout the healing process.
What percent of rib grafts warp after revision rhino? If warping does occur, what is the peri
Rib graft for revision rhinoplasty
Sep 11, 2018
Thank you for this question. The surgeon you have seen is correct: rib grafts can warp. That being said, a number of factors play into the warping to include your age, the quality of your cartilage, certain technical factors of your surgery, etc. I would recommend that you see a Board certified plastic surgeon to review these factors as they apply to you.
Is ear cartilage better than rib cartilage for a rhinoplasty if someone has thin skin?
Ear vs rib cartilage for rhinoplasty
Sep 4, 2018
Thank you for your question. In rhinoplasty, we use cartilage from either the septum, ear, and/or rib. All of them work well when used correctly and, as you can imagine, each is a little different. I would recommend a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine what is the best option for you.
My face is much wider than before facelift. Is this just swelling or will it thin out? (Photo
Swelling after a facelift
Sep 4, 2018
Thank you for your question. It is very normal to swell after a facelift and this gives the face a wider appearance. Swelling will go down in the first few weeks but often takes a few months to get close to normal. I would recommend speaking with your surgeon to help you navigate what he/she expects you will experience over the next few weeks/months.
Will a facelift accelerate the aging process?
Facelifting and aging
Sep 4, 2018
Thank you for your question. While it is true that the skin is cut and re-draped during a facelift, this does not cause premature/accelerated aging. The intention is to make you look refreshed!!! I would recommend a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss facelifting and answer any questions/concerns you might have.
Facelift sutures have not dissolved after 3 months. Is this abnormal?
Dissolvable sutures after facelift present for a few months
Sep 4, 2018
Thank you for your question. In facelifting, different surgeons use different kinds of sutures. Some of them absorb quickly, some not so quickly, and some not at all. While the absorbable sutures typically do their job, absorb, and are not heard from again, occasionally some of the suture material may remain or may even “spit” (break through the skin). It is best to contact your surgeon and be seen. He/she will be able to examine you and be able to help you…
Will my ability to play intense sports be affected after a rib rhinoplasty and revision septo
Sports after rhinoplasty with rib graft
Sep 4, 2018
Thank you for your question. You should be able to return to sports, even competitive sports, after rib grafting and rhinoplasty. Often times a rhinoplasty will improve nasal airflow; therefore, you may even play better!
What kind of surgery/procedure/remedy is recommended to fix my negative canthal tilt?
Negative cantonal tilt
Jul 13, 2018
The side of the eye may tilt downwards and sometimes people wish for this to be corrected. Options would include cathopexy (repositioning the tendon that supports the eyelid into a more superior position) or even implants or bony surgery.
I would recommend an evaluation with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine the best course of action for you.
Which technique for a facelift is best? So confused, didn’t move forward.
Best way to perform a face and neck lift
Jun 25, 2018
I can understand your confusion in talking to different surgeons and receiving different answers. Each surgeon has their own technique that works best in their hands. I would recommend ensuring that each is a board certified plastic surgeon.
Effective and Long-lasting Procedure for Lifting Jowls?
Long lasting results for jowling
Jun 25, 2018
Jowls result over time from how our faces age. Filler can help camouflage this slightly, though the jowls are not actually treated. The best procedure for jowls is a traditional facelift. Avoid the “skin only” “lunchtime” and other facelifts that do not address all the components necessary. I recommend you see a board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation.
Why does my right eye droop?
Right eye droop
Jun 25, 2018
All of us have asymmetries on our faces but sometimes these are undesirable/unaesthetic. In this case, you have a difference in your brow and fullness in your lids. Sometimes botox can be used to help and sometimes surgery is the best option. I recommend you see a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation and to determine what is right for you.
How soon after cheek implants can you safely have a facelift?
Time between implants and facelift
Jun 14, 2018
Implants and facelifting can be performed at the same time. However, were you to do them in two separate settings, then I would recommend at least 3-4 months between the two procedures.
I would recommend that you see a Board Certified plastic surgery for a consultation to discuss this further.
