Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Will a rhinoplasty correct my drooping, bulbous tip that moves a lot when I talk?
Rhinoplasty will help
Mar 17, 2021
Thank you for your question. In reviewing the photographs provided, it does appear that your nasal tip is somewhat “boxy”. This broad appearance is due to the convex shape and increased width of the cartilages that are responsible for nasal tip shape. In addition, there is a small muscle that runs from your nasal tip to the upper lip (depressor septi nasi ) that is responsible for the tip pulling down when you smile or talk. Therefore, a rhinoplasty can help reshape your tip and eliminate…
How to get rid of jowls?
Many options
Feb 17, 2021
Objectively, the aging changes that bother you are mild, and using fillers to soften lines is a great place to start. Hyaluronic acid based fillers (Juvederm, Restylane) are soft, natural and generally painless to inject. In addition to fillers, non-invasive skin tightening treatments with radiofrequency technology (Profound) are helpful in patients who exhibit mild or early aging changes. The procedure is performed with the patient awake, using local anesthesia and requires a weekend for…
Would upper blepharoplasty be appropriate? 30 yr old female
Conservative Eye Lift
Feb 4, 2021
Thank you for your question. If your upper eyelids appear significantly different than when you were in your teens or 20s, and if you desire more “skin show” above your eyelashes, then a conservative upper blepharoplasty may be appropriate. In planning surgery, it would be helpful to see pictures of your eyes from when you were in your teenage years to get a sense of your genetic baseline with attention to the height of your natural upper eyelid fold. Most patients want a post surgical…
How to make this saggy skin on my face go away?
“Tuck up” and Facial Fillers
Feb 1, 2021
Thank you for your question. In evaluating your pictures, it appears that you have some recurrent skin laxity along the jawline and neck, in combination with age-related volume loss. A secondary surgical lift, “tuck up” can be a very powerful procedure, especially when combined with facial fillers to correct volume loss. The choice of fillers can be hyaluronic acid based, or your own fat for example, and areas along the chin, midface and “smile lines” can be volumized as a sole procedure, or…
Tummy tuck or alternative: what are my best options for improved appearance?
Liposuction
Jan 12, 2021
Thank you for your question regarding the desire to improve your abdominal appearance. Given what I can see from the front view photograph that you’ve provided, it seems that your abdominal contour still looks very good, despite previous pregnancies. A side view (and possibly a diver’s view) of your abdominal wall is also needed for a more accurate assessment. However, I’m inclined to recommend selective, small cannula liposuction for the exercise resistant areas of fat that bother you. The…
Is breast augmentation permanent?
No specific “expiration date”
Jan 4, 2021
According to recent American Society of Plastic Surgery statistics (ASPS), breast augmentation continues to be the top cosmetic surgical procedure and has been since 2006. Approximately, 85% of women choose silicone implants. In general, silicone implants can be expected to last at least 10 years or longer provided that there has been no major chest wall/breast trauma. Breast implants do not have a specific “expiration date” on shelf-life and modern silicone implants can last 10-20 years….
Will surgeon allow you to choose nipple size and placement ?
Yes
Mar 2, 2020
Your plastic surgeon should discuss this with you and respect your concerns and desires. If they feel they can not assist in achieving your goals, they should let you know. You need to be honest about your desires at your appointment.
Would a doctor perform both fat transfer to breasts and use saline implants for breast augme
Both
Mar 2, 2020
Fat transfer and implants can be done together. Check to make sure your doctor is board certified and has experience in both procedures. Make sure to discuss size expectations during the consultation.
Can I get a breast augmentation without a lift?
Depends
Mar 2, 2020
You can have just an augmentation but you will still have some droop. You have a short upper chest wall and may want to accept mild droop with just an augmentation.
Is there any chance I would need a lift?
Augmentation
Mar 2, 2020
You should do well with an augmentation and no lift. Talk to your surgeon about your size expectations and make sure your surgeon is a board certified plastic surgeon.
Would you recommend a lift and implant, or just a lift, or only an implant?
Possibly both
Mar 2, 2020
If you wish upper pole fullness, you will need an implant. You have significant volume below your nipple location and you will need some lower pole adjustment or a very large implant. Talk to your surgeon in detail about your size expectations following the surgery.
Is it possible to have fullness restored without a lift and without looking augmented? (phot
Good candidate
Mar 2, 2020
You should do well with a reasonable breast augmentation. Make sure to find a board certified plastic surgeon to do the surgery and speak with him/her in detail about what your expectations are so you are both on the same page.
Can I get perky breasts without the implant?
Yes
Mar 2, 2020
Never as perky as implants, but a very nice result can be achieved with a breast reduction and you will not have the concern of later surgery as with implants.
Am I a good candidate for breast augmentation?
Yes!
Mar 2, 2020
You should do nicely with a breast augmentation. Your nipple position is quite normal and may improve with the breast augmentation.
Do I have tuberous breast deformity? What would be the best approach?
Tubular breast deformity
Mar 2, 2020
I agree you have a tubular breast deformity. You may do well with a breast augmentation alone but frequently expansion followed by augmentation can achieve a nicer result.
