Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I’m disappointed with my results 4 mths po. I’m sure most if not all of the healing has gone
unhappy after rhinoplasty
Feb 18, 2019
Rhinoplasty is the most challenging of all aesthetic procedures.  Your source of unhappiness appears justified to some extent.  Even the most experienced rhinoplasty surgeon will see an occasional and unexpected drooping tip.  If you want a meaningful second opinion see a plastic or facial plastic surgeon who does a lot of secondary procedures.  Take a copy of your pre and post operative photographs as well as a copy of the operative note from your doctor.  Your surgeon may wish to help you ...
Do I require a breast lift with implants perkier breasts? What would be the best treatment op
lift +/- implants
Feb 18, 2019
It all depends upon your vision for yourself.  You may want to consider a vertical mastopexy using your own tissue as the implant if you do not wish more volume.  If you want larger then an implant will be necessary. Stretch marks, or striae, are difficult to treat. When they are fresh and pink, certain lasers are of great benefit.  Once they are established and white anything that is tried will be a bit disappointing.  We have tried micro needling with and without platelet rich plasma with...
How much would it be to remove this after an industrial piercing?
piercing scar
Feb 10, 2019
I would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to remove this.  Probably just local anesthesia and should not be very expensive. Whomever you see, I would encourage them to pursue an insurance covered authorization as there may be a foreign body present or other condition.
I'm scheduled for my Mommy Makeover in 3 wks. I will be 25 days clear of all nicotine at the
nicotine and smoking
Feb 9, 2019
There is a difference between nicotine and smoking.  Smoking carries the greater risk because of the carbon monoxide that will do damage to the circulation and oxygen availability in the elevated tissues.  Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor but in my experience, as an isolated substance is not as bad an actor.  That is probably why you are seeing variability in the answers.  We all are influenced by our experiences and the literature we read. It is always safer to delay as long as possible aft...
How to fix drooping eye and puffy cheek?
facial asymmetry
Feb 7, 2019
Every surgeon looking at your photographs will see something a little different. I do not see your brow so much being an issue. However, you appear to possibly have orbital dystopia-- one eye socket is lower than the other. Some degree of facial asymmetry is very common.  I would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon preferably one with craniofacial training.  There are a number of options for treating this.
Is this uneven swelling, will the front of my columella even out and drop a bit within time?
retracted columella?
Feb 7, 2019
Not a good idea to give advice based on limited photographs and so soon after surgery, but a columella can retract after this type of surgery.  If this is the case, your surgeon will likely be able to help you with this or refer you to someone who can.  Stay close to your surgeon and voice your concerns when you visit.
One of my eyelids dropping and bothering me is there a non surgical way to fix this
blepharoptosis
Feb 7, 2019
You have a mild case of upper eyelid ptosis or weakness of the tiny eyelid muscle that lifts the eyelid. It will only get worse with time. Surgical repair under local anesthesia is usually done by a board certified plastic, facial plastic, or oculoplastic surgeon. Be prepared that both eyelids may need to be treated because of a phenomenon that causes the normal side to droop after the affected side is treated.  Meanwhile, if you have an engagement and would like to temporarily improve the ...
Over the years my nose doesn’t have that little point anymore - what can be done?
pointier tip
Feb 3, 2019
I will offer a different perspective than what I have read from my esteemed colleagues--all has been good advice--however, your concern is lack of projection and I agree. Giving more projection to the tip will likely require a septal extension graft , then minimal hump reduction or radix grafting will give you more of what you are showing us in the first photograph.  The amount of tip definition seen in your b&w photograph however seems excessive, probably undesirable, and probably ...
Is my nose pinched and over-resected? How to fix it?
overdone nose
Feb 3, 2019
Your assessments are accurate in my opinion based upon the photographs you have provided. Restoring some of the resected tissue in the bridge and sides of the tip will go a long way to improve your situation. You will need adequate donor cartilage for this and if your septum was not touched it may be enough. You will be learning about terms such as spreader grafts, diced cartilage wrapped in fascia (DCIF) and lateral crural extension and alar contouring grafts. The redness is a harbinger of...
What would you recommend for skin around cheeks?
facial skin laxity
Feb 3, 2019
There are a number of possibilities that are responsible for premature aging--some are lifestyle, some are genetic.  Nonetheless, at 27 you would do well to consider restoring lost facial fat.  It is a surgical procedure but provides a replacement for what is lost.  My experience is that fat transfer is most successful in younger patients, but an alternative are permanent implants, or well placed hyaluronic fillers.  A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon facial plastic sur...
18 weeks post opp.. folds and puckering are not dissolved - How do I fix this?
puckering post mastopexy
Feb 3, 2019
Managing the excess skin of the lower portion of the breast following a short scar procedure is tricky. It still beats a horizontal scar in my opinion.  Give it up to a year, follow your surgeon's advice, and do not try to force an early revision.
I have pretty bad eye bags want To avoid surgery if at all possible is there any filler that
under eye fillers
Feb 2, 2019
The insidious onset of puffy lower eyelids is often due to the loss of fat below the eyelid that exposes the lower eyelid and exaggerates the problem.  Under eye fillers are an off-label use for these products.  You must go into this process knowing that fact. It should be done in my opinion:1. in a strictly sterile setting.  Proper skin prep (not just an alcohol wipe), sterile packaged latex free gloves (not the ones plucked from a box that are easily contaminated).  This is to avoid the...
Would I be a good candidate for a direct/localized skin removal of excess neck skin and/or a
mini lifts
Jan 28, 2019
At 52 a mini lift like the MACS or minimal access cranial suspension should not only treat the upper third of the neck (your main concern), but also the laxity in the lower third of the face evident on your photos. MACS is a great procedure for your age group so I would see a plastic or facial plastic surgeon in your area who does this.
Chin lipo or chin implant? My chin is weak
retrogenia
Jan 26, 2019
Your lip position relative to your chin and the fullness under the chin are suggestive of retrogenia or a retarding chin. In these situations a chin advancement will extend your natural chin and avoid an implant as well as tighten the muscles under the chin.  This procedure is done by some plastic surgeons and facial plastic surgeons and more commonly by oromaxillofacial surgeons. You should explore this option
Can all the muscles above & below the belly button be tightened without repositioning the bel
endoscopic assisted abdominoplasty
Jan 21, 2019
On occasion I have repaired the muscles using an endoscopically assisted approach.  There is an incision around the inside of the navel which is well concealed and relatively short access scar similar to a mini abdominoplasty.  The right patient is the key to success--separated muscles, little or no laxity above the navel and not a lot of excess fat to remove which will further loosen the skin.  The skin must have retained good elasticity.  This is not a commonly done procedure compared to ...
