Can Botox in the forehead and glabella effect the nose shape or cause heavy feeling in tip of nos

Botox in forehead affecting nose
Nov 30, 2019

Botox into the glabella and forehead might make the inner brows feel heavy for sure. Botox in this location should not affect the position or look of your nose.
I hope this helps.

How Much Does Otoplasty Cost?

cost of ear surgery or otoplasty
Nov 30, 2019

Typically ear surgery or otoplasty costs about 4000-6000 dollars. Some of this will depend on the cost of the operating room and anesthesia per hour.

Should I get a revision on my ears?

Revision of Otoplasty
Nov 30, 2019

It does appear that you have had some recurrence of prominence of your ears. If it has been 3-6 months from surgery, which I think it has, then I would revisit this with your surgeon. I would typically consider revision about 6 months after the initial surgery if there is recurrence.
I hope this helps,

Is this stahl's ears, can they be corrected and made at least a little bit more round?

Stahl's Ear
Nov 30, 2019

Hi,
Thank you for your question. This does not appear to be a Stahl's deformity. It is difficult to tell from this single view if the problem could be fixed surgically. It appears that the curve of the helical rim or edge of the ear is a bit different causing the shape of the ear to not be smooth. An examination in person would really help you to know if this could be addressed with an operation.
I hope this helps,
Dr. G

Otoplasty gone wrong, revision needed to fix anti helical fold?

Revision of Otoplasty
Nov 30, 2019

Thank you for your question. Given that your surgery was only 2 weeks ago, it is too early to know what the final result will be. Typically, you need to wait until at least 6 weeks out from surgery to see an early result. It can take several months for all the swelling to go down. That being said, it is likely that the result can be improved if what you are seeing doesn't improve with time. I would not consider doing another surgery for at least 3-6 months from...

Is it normal to have swelling on my left side and under my arm 1 month post op?

Swelling after FTM TOP Surgery
Nov 25, 2019

Thank you for your question. It is very normal to have swelling a month after TOP surgery. The final result is usually not seen for at least 6 months after surgery. I typically tell my patients not to do any heavy lifting or strenuous activity until at least 6 weeks after surgery. If you stress your chest muscles too much before that, you could end up causing a fluid collection or making the swelling worse. I have my patients wrap gently with an ace wrap for 6...

Can my nipples can be moved to a more cisgender position?

Nipple position & Size with Peri Approach
Nov 25, 2019

In general I wait for about 6 months after the peri approach to allow the nipple and areola to shrink after the breast tissue is removed. If the nipple is still large, then I go ahead and reduce the nipple size. In your case, however, there is not a lot of breast tissue so I am not sure your nipple itself would shrink after the breast tissue is removed. It would be reasonable to make it a bit smaller at the time of the peri approach if you are unhappy with it. In...

Would I get good peri results?

Good Peri Candidate
Nov 25, 2019

Thank you for your photos and question. Based on the images, it appears that you would be an excellent candidate for the periareolar approach. You have good skin tone and should have a nice smooth contour to your chest with this approach.

What type of incision will be best for me?

Best Incision for FTM TOP Surgery
Nov 25, 2019

It would be helpful to see a photo with your arms down at your side. With your arms lifted, it changes the position of the breast on your chest and makes it harder to know if periareolar is a good option. Based on this photo, it looks like periareolar is a reasonable choice.

What's my best surgical option for FTM top surgery to have as little scarring and surgical interv

FTM Top Surgery Approach & Timing with Testosterone
Nov 25, 2019

Based on my experience, I think you are a good candidate for a periareolar approach. You have good skin tone and the size of your breasts lends itself to this approach. You will have minimal scarring and your nipple and areola will get smaller when the breast tissue is removed. I have seen some patients get more skin laxity when the breast deflates when they start testosterone and thus the breast sits lower on the chest and may not be as amenable to the periareolar approach...

Tuberous or Ptosis?

Not Tuberous or Ptosis
Nov 3, 2019

What you see is a combination of less developed breasts and a constricted breast deformity. I wouldn't call it tuberous per say. This isn't ptosis either. Ptosis is when the nipple is sitting low on the chest relative to the breast fold, this is not the case with you. The nipple to fold distance is a bit short because there is less breast tissue inferiorly on your breast. An implant would help fill out the lower pole of your breast and give it a more rounded...

Is it Possible to Have Subtle/Minor Otoplasty?

Otoplasty for fold
Feb 11, 2019

It is absolutely possible to create a subtle fold. It makes sense to see your surgeon to have them look at and examine your ears to determine how stiff the cartilage is and what would work best. Often this type of surgery requires over correction because the ear wants to go back to where it was before surgery. Therefore the ear may look like it is more “pinned back” initially and will relax with time.

After an otoplasty surgery will I ever be okay to train martial arts?

Martial arts after ear surgery
Feb 11, 2019

I recommend my patients avoid contact sports for 6 weeks after surgery. Then if they were going to do martial arts, I would recommend a headband to protect the ears for another 2 months.

Uneven Ears After Otoplasty?

Asymmetry after Otoplasty
Oct 30, 2018

A small amount of asymmetry is not unusual after otoplasty. Looking from the front, the ears should look very similar. If one is a lot more prominent than the other, then revision might be needed. Usually I advise patients to wait at least 6-12 months after surgery for all the swelling to settle and the ears to relax a bit before considering revision. By 3-6 months the position is close to where it will be long term.

Ear Surgery for Asymmetrical Ears?

Ears that look different from side to side
Oct 30, 2018

It is not uncommon for one ear to project more than the other. Often this is caused by decreased folds in the cartilage of the ear on that side. This can be corrected with a unilateral otoplasty where one ear is repositioned closer to the scalp via a well hidden scar on the back of the ear. Sometimes both ears can be repositioned more posteriorly to give a more symmetric look. Your surgeon will determine this after they examine your ears and look at the cartilage folds.
