Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I am getting a Rhinoplasty and my doctor wants to do a septoplasty as well but my nose is straight
Wide nose and septoplasty
Jul 14, 2019
It is not uncommon to perform a septoplasty at the time of surgery. You may have a deviated internal nasal septum, you may need cartilage grafting for support, or you may need cartilage grafting for aesthetic reasons during your rhinoplasty. You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Can asymmetrical cartilage on my nose domes be fixed?
Uneven cartilage
Jun 22, 2019
Yes, through an open approach the nasal cartlidge can be reshaped and the asymmetry improve.This may need to be supported with cartilage graft. What would be the best result and most appropriate procedure would depend an examination and discussion about desired outcome.

What are my options for my gobble wobble neck/chin?
Neck lift
Apr 8, 2019
Good question and pictures!! What would be the best result and most appropriate procedure would depend a history, examination, and discussion about desired outcome. You have central skin laxity in your neck and I feel the best house and be with a neck lift. I feel nonsurgical options would not be of any benefit. Naturally appearing results can be obtained with surgery and I think you’d be a good candidate.

What is the best way to restore my neck and get rid of the jowls?
Jowls and neck
Apr 8, 2019
What would be the best result and most appropriate procedure would depend an examination and discussion about desired outcome. Based on your pictures, I feel a lower face and neck lift would give you the best result. Naturally appearing results can be obtained with surgery and I feel you would have a nice result and be a good candidate.

Should laser resurfacing or deep chemical peel be performed before a face lift?
Facial rejuvenation
Mar 21, 2019
What would be the best result and most appropriate procedure would depend an examination and discussion about desired outcome. Naturally appearing results can be obtained with surgery and non-surgical procedures. Your surgeon should have an extensive facial rejuvenation experience. It will depend on the comfort level your surgeon has with the laser or peels. Natural appearing results can be achieved with either. I feel the most important factor that you...
Is it possible for me to have both a deviated septum and a nasal valve collapse?
Deviated septum and nasal collapse
Mar 13, 2019
Good question. Yes, it is possible to have a deviated septum and nasal valve collapse. What would be the best result and most appropriate procedure would depend on an examination and discussion about desired outcome. Naturally appearing results can be obtained with surgery. You will most likely need cartilage grafting to correct the collapse and support the deviation. Your surgeon should have an extensive rhinoplasty experience. Good luck!!
Robert...
Would this be a difficult rhinoplasty? I really don’t like the bone in the bridge of my nose becau
Bony dorsum
Mar 13, 2019
This is a good question and a common complaint. What would be the best result and most appropriate procedure would depend on an examination and discussion about desired outcome. Naturally appearing results could be obtained with surgery and with nonsurgical techniques. I feel you’d be a good candidate.
Good luck!!

What does this 57 year old neck need?
Neck rejuvenation
Mar 12, 2019
It is difficult to tell from your one photo. What would be the best result and most appropriate procedure would depend an examination and discussion about desired outcome. Natural appearing results can be obtained with surgery. The most predictable result is with a neck lift and I feel you would be an ideal candidate. Your downtime would depend on whether you want people to see you bruised or swollen. If so, 2 weeks should be plenty.
Good luck!!
Robert Schutz, M.D.,...
Can rhinoplasty help my nostrils not curve in as far?
Septoplasty
Mar 10, 2019
Good question! What would be the best result and most appropriate procedure would depend an examination and discussion about desired outcome. Naturally appearing results can be obtained with surgery. A septoplasty by itself should not change the shape of your nostrils but this should be thoroughly discussed with your surgeon so you feel comfortable going ahead with surgery.
Good luck!!

What kind of procedures will help lift my depressed nasion?
Nasal fillers
Mar 10, 2019
It is hard to tell by one photo but fillers work nice in this area. Also with fillers, they are not permanent. Of course, what would be the best result and most appropriate procedure would depend an examination and discussion about desired outcome. Naturally appearing results can be obtained with fillers. Good question!

Can scars at the top and bottom of the earlobes be camouflaged with make-up by about one month?
Makeup after surgery
Mar 9, 2019
As long as things are healing well, you should be able to start makeup at about 2 weeks. But of course it is best to follow your own doctors recommendation!! Thanks for the question!
I would like to know if I should consider tightening my face?
Questioning a facelift
Mar 9, 2019
I also agree with the previous answers! Based on your photo, fillers for prevention is where I would start. Of course, what would be best would be to have an exam and a discussion of objectives and desired outcomes. Thank you for the question!
Rhinoplasty, is this a realistic expectation?
Thinking about rhinoplasty
Mar 9, 2019
I believe your results can be achieved. You want to reshape your dorsum and Supra tip region. Of course, what would be the best result and most appropriate procedure would depend an examination and discussion about desired outcome. Naturally appearing results can be obtained with surgery. I think you would be a good candidate. Good luck!!

Can I get alar reduction done alone without nose tip changes and ect.?
Tip reshaping
Mar 2, 2019
It is hard to tell just from your two photos, but alar reduction surgery can be performed on its own. I do agree with your surgeon that you would have better aesthetic proportions if you had tip work performed, also. Tip reshaping surgery does not mean you would have any artificial implantation performed. Your tip can be reshaped using your own cartilage. What would be the best result and most appropriate procedure would depend an examination and discussion about desired...
Can surgeon fix my turkey neck without me feeling like there’s a noose around it?
Tight neck
Mar 2, 2019
What would be the best result and most appropriate procedure would depend an examination and discussion about desired outcome. Removing the fat and reshaping of the neck muscle without making it tight can often be done. Then it is merely a matter of reshaping the skin over the newly sculptured neck. Naturally appearing results can be obtained with surgery, but remember the goal is to make the neck smoother and firmer. Your surgeon should have an extensive facelift experience...
