I was born with Pierre Robin and a cleft palate. What is recommended to help define my jaw
Defining the jawline with surgery in an adult with cleft palate
Jan 27, 2019
Hi Casey Great question regarding what can be done for your concerns of your jaw shape. Children with Pierre Robin Sequence (small jaw, protruding tongue, and often cleft palate) are commonly treated in our multidisciplinary cleft team. In adults who continue to have a jawline that is smaller than they like,  I agree with previous surgeon’s posts about implants and jaw- reshaping surgery. You could look up the closest ACPA accredited Cleft Team near Wyoming and see if you can get an appointm…
Can rhinoplasty ever leave the tip of the nose alone?
Limited rhinoplasty to address your concerns
Jan 27, 2019
Thank you for the question CruciocupThe most exciting part of changing the shape of your nose with surgery (rhinoplasty) is that the surgery can be tailored to what bothers you. Certainly not everything is attainable and a consultation in person is needed to discuss this in detail. If you and your surgeon choose to limit the rhinoplasty to the bridge of the nose, then it should be a mutual decision. Best Wishes 
Can you tell what type of nasal implant was used by just a physical examination? .
how to determine what type of rhinoplasty implant was used?
Apr 30, 2017
Dear chessleeBest option is to request your operative note from the facility/ hospital where you had the surgery.  The surgeon should have records as well even back 20 years. A physical exam will not likely be able to tell you what it wasBest Wishes 
Nearly 5 months post-op, do I have a polly beak deformity?
Fullness just above the tip of the nose after Rhinoplasty
Apr 30, 2017
Dear Alyrae9You are doing the right thing by scheduling an appt with your surgeon to discuss and have an examination. The fullness that you are noticing above the tip of the nose needs to be examined to be able to tell you what it likely represents and if there are options to help.You should expect changes for the first year after your surgery, and if you and your surgeon are uncomfortable with the result then it can be discussed. Best Wishes
How many sinus rinses can I do in a day? 4 days post-op rhinoplasty.

Dear Loresmithsaline rinses with a netipot or sinus irrigator can help keep your nose clean after surgery a few times a daythe turbinates may have crusting that you rinse off using the rinses in the shower can help keep it less messybe careful placing it in your nostril and avoid pressing against the sutures in your nostrilsuse boiled or distilled water to mix the saline packetspoint the bottle toward the back of your head not straight up your nose Best Wishes 
Diagnosed with bellspalsy 11 years ago, now I have sykinisis. My eye closes when I smile.
facial recovery after Bells Palsy and synkinesis
Nov 20, 2016
Dear Richiesorry to hear about your difficulty with your synkinesis after your recovery from facial nerve paralysis. The eyelid ptosis that you have is different from other causes, in that the eyelid closing muscles are now either misfiring or simple out of balance with the other facial nerve branches.  Traditional ptosis repairs would change lift the eyelid, but the muscle would still fire out of sync and likely you might have dry eye symptoms after such a repair. Consider a consult with a …
What does the term “Osteotomy” mean?
Osteotomy is simply cutting of bone
Nov 5, 2016
Thanks for the questionWhen a bone is divided or cut, it is a surgical “osteo-tomy”    from Greek to “divide or cut”This is completed in the upper third of the nose (where you can pinch the hard bone of your nose)The small cuts in the bone are made under the skin by making small incisions inside the nostrils most of the time. Best wishes
