Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Is alarplasty for me? I’m happy with my bone, just not the nostrils.
Nasal tip deformity
Jul 18, 2015
From your pictures, you appear to be a very good candidate for what is called a tip rhinoplasty. Your nose is quite beautiful except for the distortion at the tip. It is not clear from photos, of course, exactly which cartilages need reshaping, but you can leave the bone alone. Good luck.
I’m wanting to know if upper eyelid surgery would be an option for me?
Correcting an angry look
Jul 18, 2015
From what I can see from the little bitty view, your eyes and upper lids are beautiful. Expression comes from eyebrow position, not from the upper eyelids. A low position of the inner eyebrows has been documented to convey anger and, to a lesser extent, disgust. A professional consultation with an expert in brow reshaping–not surgery–might be a good thing to check out. Good luck!
Mild eyelid retraction due to previous surgery (Lower external Blepharoplasty). How to fix my
Mild lower eyelid retraction after blepharoplasty
Jul 18, 2015
You are quite correct that a graft such as Alloderm or hard palate can be required in complex situations where the lower lid is scarred and shortened after surgery and where the lower lid can not easily be lifted with your finger. Sometimes skin grafting can be required. Usually, however, mild lower lid retraction is due to tissue relaxation rather than tissue shortening, and the condition is very responsive to tightening the lower eyelid with a canthopexy. To help determine whether you are…
Which type of doctor is most suitable for cheek augmentations?
Cheek filler Voluma
Jul 6, 2015
I believe that you would be a very good candidate for an injectable deep facial filler such as Voluma. It would give you some cheek bone fullness immediately and is also reversible if you do not like the effect. An experienced dermatologist is certainly qualified to perform this procedure. Sculptra is also a possible filler that would be effective if properly done, but it does take several injections over time and is not reversible. Good luck.
Is there any way to slim down fat cheeks?
Fat cheeks
Jul 3, 2015
While there are some instances in which cheeks can really be too full, I would recommend caution regarding any fat reduction in the cheeks at a young age. One of the biggest problems we have with facial aging is the loss of cheek volume and the appearance of hollowing. Reducing cheek fat in borderline circumstances can result in early facial aging later on. Stick with their being cute, and hold off on any procedure-at least at this time.
Looking for the best facial plastic surgeon in San Francisco Bay Area! Any recommendations? (P
Blepharoplasty for lower eyelids.
Jul 3, 2015
I must agree with Dr. Ishoo that you need to have your own personal consultation with some qualified plastic surgeons so that you can make your own decision. You have a lifetime of experience in making choices based on your
intuition from personal interactions, and this is your most reliable
source of information. Ask to see pictures, do not be fixed on laser vs. skin excision, and ask about whether you need canthopexies or not. Good luck on you investigation.
I have a “turtle” kind of neck. My jawline and chin seem to be connected which is making my ja
Neck liposuction for a jaw line
Jun 28, 2015
From your photos, you would appear to be an excellent candidate for fine cannula liposuction to give you a more defined jawline with a better definition between your cheek and your neck. I have had several young patients with the same condition, and the results can be striking under many circumstances. No neck lift is required. You do need to select a surgeon with experience involving liposuction in this region, because your fatty tissue is close to a nerve that moves your lower lip. While…
Highly-cohesive silicone gel implants vs. form stable implants?
Cohesive gel silicone implants, pros and cons
Jun 27, 2015
Those are good questions. A highly cohesive gel implant means that an implant rupture is less likely to spread out in your tissues than a rupture with a soft gel implant. That, at least, is the concept. I am not aware that this has actually been tested in practice. The price that you pay for this is that the form stable implants are firmer and not as soft as regular gel implants. How much firmer depends on the brand. There are other companies-most notably Natrelle from Allergan-that make…
I’m 28 yrs old. I have tear trough, thin skin under eye w/ loss of cheek volume. Help for perm
Tear trough filler
Jun 24, 2015
Thank you for the good pictures. You do have some tear trough thinning compared to a few years ago. While your partner evidently loves you the way you are, it would be nice to look especially good in your wedding photos. While I would not recommend any permanent treatment at this point, you can likely achieve some good improvement in the tear trough area with some gentle use of deep filler. This is a critical area because of the thin skin and tissue cover, but a hyaluronic acid filler such…
Recommendation for shape, size and procedure, please?
Loss of breast shape after weight loss
May 30, 2015
It is difficult to answer your question without pictures, but here is some general advice. 1. Try to time any surgery after your weight loss has stabilized. Losing more weight after your breast surgery could easily cause a recurrence of your problem.2. Is your problem sagging of your breasts or loss of volume or both? If part of the problem is loss of volume, a breast augmentation would certainly be reasonable. There are several different approaches that are excellent, and there are…
Would like to have flatter stomach that fits the contour of my body. What procedure in plastic
Tummy tuck or liposuction
May 30, 2015
Congratulations on your weight loss. This can be life changing. You are essentially doing your own liposuction. (Dieting has been humorously referred to as the poor person’s liposuction.) After your weight loss is completed and has stabilized, you would undoubtedly benefit from some tissue tightening to achieve a trim figure to match you new smaller size, particularly after three pregnancies. That tightening would be from a tummy tuck. It is very likely that some liposuction might be…
I’m 20 and feel like I have so much excess skin over my eyes. What surgery should I have? (Pho
Young upper lid blepharoplasty
May 30, 2015
Your best option would be what is called an upper lid skin blepharoplasty. This is the trimming of only the upper eyelid skin to give you a more open appearance. I have done this procedure on a young woman 20 or 21 years of age, and the results were nothing short of spectacular. Your brow is of good height and definitely should not be raised or you will look startled for the rest of your life. There is no muscle involved, so Botox would not be at all useful. While it is difficult to evaluate…
Do I Have Tubular Breasts?
Breast implant surgery with asymmetry
Nov 22, 2012
As noted by the other plastic surgeons, you do not have tubular breasts. You do, however, have some asymmetry in size and also what is referred to as a constricted inferior pole on your left breast. The tissue below your left areola is tighter than on the right side, and the fold underneath your breast is higher on the left side. Placement of the left breast implant needs to be equal in height with the right side, which means that the inferior pole of the left implant should be placed below…
With the Asymmetry of my Breasts is It Possible to Have Implants Done Inframammary Without Any
Breast implant with tuberous breasts
Nov 13, 2012
It is difficult to be certain with just pictures, but it appears that you have a variation of a so-called tuberous breast on your right side. This is where the base of your breast is narrow, and the breast tissue has herniated outwards, stretching your areola. There are different approaches for correction of a tuberous breast, and some sort of correction is needed in addition to an implant on either the left side or on both sides to get a natural appearing result. A breast augmentation…
Does an Under Eye Skin Pinch Need to Be Associated with a Canthopexy to Prevent Ectropion? (ph
Canthopexy and skin tightening lower lids
Sep 29, 2012
Based on the photo you submitted, you do have what is referred to as “scleral show,” that is the white of your eyes can be seen underneath your colored iris. It is indeed likely that you need a canthopexy to tighten your lower lid, since if the surgeon just tightened the skin, your lid would likely pull lower. In point of fact, a canthopexy will elevate your lower lid while getting rid of the scleral show and may be all that is needed to tighten the skin. A canthopexy would, of course,…
