Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Are antibiotics required for a brow lift and upper blepharoplasty?
Antibiotics and facial surgery
Sep 17, 2019
Thanks for your question. The issue of antibiotic use around the time of surgery is getting a lot more attention lately. For any kind of elective surgery, the general rules are, if you're going to use antibiotics, give a dose prior to the surgical incision and then use them for no more than 24 hours afterwards. For facial surgery, this is a reasonable guideline. Generally if I'm just doing upper eyelids, I won't give any systemic antibiotics and instead will have people use antibiotic o...
Can I get Botox/Dysport during my period/menstrual cycle?
Botox and your cycle
Sep 17, 2019
Thanks for your question. Botox and Dysport are completely safe during your period. You don't need to worry about it at all. Good luck!
Does taking PREP affect a Rhinoplasty?
PREP and Nasal surgery
Sep 5, 2019
Thanks for your question. PREP shouldn't affect anything at all. I've done rhinoplasties for people who were PREP and others who were actually positive and on therapy, and all did just fine. Those medications won't affect anything at all. Good luck!
How is a droopy nose lifted? What is realistic to expect for me?
Fixing a droopy tip
Aug 13, 2019
Thanks for your question. You have a couple of issues. The first is that a muscle that attaches to your septum, the depressor septi, is very strong. This can be detached from your septum during surgery. That is responsible for the dynamic pull, but you also have an under-rotated nose to begin with. I get the sense that the cartilage of your septum is a little too long. You also have big bulky lower lateral cartilages that could be slimmed in a rhinoplasty. As for submental liposuction, t...
Can rhinoplasty help with cartilage damage from steroid injection after a bad filler reaction in
FIxing cartilage damage in the nose
Jul 30, 2019
Thanks for your question. I'm sorry that you're going through this. The short answer is that, yes, a rhinoplasty can help this. The main goals of an evaluation with you would be to determine 1) what kind of damage was done and 2) then how to fix it. If you've never had surgery on your nose, this should be relatively straight forward as long as you pick someone who is experienced in revision rhinoplasty work. If you're having trouble breathing through your nose, make sure you mention it to...
If rib cartilage warps, then how can it possible be used as spreader grafts?
Warping and rib cartilage
Jul 30, 2019
Thanks for your question. You're right. Rib cartilage can warp. However, there are studies that show that quite a lot of the warping happens in the first 20-30 minutes after harvest and carving. My standard way of handling the cartilage is to harvest it, carve the grafts, and then let the grafts soak in antibiotic solution for 20-30 minutes while I close the chest and readdress the nose. If warping has occurred, you can still use the warped grafts for spreader grafts. You take two warped p...
Is it safe to get a massage a week after Botox injections for forehead lines?
Botox and massage
Jul 2, 2019
Thanks for your question. While you wouldn't want to have Botox before a massage, you can certainly have it AFTER the massage on the same day. If the massage is scheduled for a week after your Botox, I can't see why that would matter. Good luck and enjoy your massage.
Would PrecisionTx help with skin tightening? I'm continuing to lose wt and wondering when to get
PrecisionTx and large weight loss
Jul 2, 2019
Thanks for your question. PrecisionTx works best for small to moderate amounts of loose skin. In your case, with continued weight loss, it likely wouldn't be able to completely tighten up all of the skin that you're going to be left with. But if you really don't want to have a true facelift, it's a good option because it will tighten up SOME of that skin. The timing would depend on when your weight has stabilized and you don't plan on losing any more (and you've proven you aren't going to ...
Will I need a neck or face lift after uneven Precision Tx result?
Options after PrecisionTx
Jul 2, 2019
Thanks for your question. It all depends on what your goals are. When I'm counseling my patients about the choice between PrecisionTx versus a true facelift, we weigh the benefits and risks of both. I tell everybody that after six months, if we both see that further improvement is needed, we'll go to the OR for a facelift and I'll show some consideration for what they paid for the Precision. As surgeons, we don't have as good control over the result with Precision because it relies on your...
What are my options for a deviated septum with some prior drug use?
Drug use and septoplasty
Jul 2, 2019
Thanks for your question. As long as you didn't do any permanent damage with the cocaine use, it shouldn't keep you from having surgery to help with your breathing. Depending on where it is deviated, you likely wouldn't need to worry about collapse. Now, as far as telling your doctor, you should definitely have a pre-op visit with them and discuss it. Some doctors will still use it in the operating room for anesthesia, but I wouldn't recommend that given your history. He will also be able t...
How bad does a deviated septum have to be to need surgery?
When to fix a septum
Jul 2, 2019
Thanks for your question. I see deviated septums all the time, but we only choose to operate if the patient is having difficulty breathing, worse on the deviated side. If you're using a prescription nasal spray and you're still having trouble breathing, it's time to talk to an ENT again. You can also have a second procedure on your turbinates at the same time if you choose. Good luck!
What does taping after rhinoplasty EXACTLY do? Could taping at 2 months and a half help in thick
Taping after rhinoplasty
Jul 1, 2019
Thanks for your question. Taping is a routine post-operative treatment in rhinoplasty patients. For thin to normal-skinned patients, they get tape and a cast for a week after their surgery. For thick skinned patients, the taping definitely helps to allow the skin to stick down to the new framework and helps limit swelling in the dorsum. There was a really good study about this a few years ago that was done in Turkey. They found that it really helps if you do it for a month. Beyond that, I...
What else besides Botox should I try for my static frown lines?
Solutions for static lines
Jul 1, 2019
Thanks for your question. Botox will help keep static lines from getting worse, but it won't make them go away once they're established. You've mentioned plenty of good options for static lines and it basically depends on what you're willing to sign up for. C02 laser should give you a good result, but you can expect to be red and peeling for a week or two. Non-ablative lasers will help with less down time, but you'd need a few treatments to get a similar effect to what you can get with one...
Does a nose with lots of graft look fake in real life?
Rhinoplasty grafts
Jul 1, 2019
Thanks for your question. If you have good quality skin on your nose, grafts can look completely natural. Frequently, the result that they give in a revision rhinoplasty is much better than what your nose looked like before the revision. They can also be an important part of fixing breathing problems that could have resulted from a primary rhinoplasty. For an example, check out the link to my photo gallery. That patient had her nose basically completely rebuilt with cartilage grafts. Good luck!
When will nasal congestion resolve since the doctor’s feedback has only been positive? Looking fo
Congestion after nasal surgery
Jun 27, 2019
Thanks for your question. It's definitely common to have some congestion following any kind of nasal surgery, but it certainly should have improved by now. It may be that you have an issue that is unrelated to any work on the outside of your nose. It's time to visit a facial plastic surgeon who has a background in ENT and they can set you straight. Good luck!
