Will Botox for TMJ change my face a lot if I just get it here and there to ease the tension?
Botox for jaw pain(TMJ)?
May 15, 2020
Botox is very effective in relaxing the muscles that cause TMJ(jaw pain).  The effect is temporary(3 to 6 months), so you would need to have the treatment repeated a few times a year. A Facial Plastic Surgeon is a good choice since the face is the focus of the practice, but there are other providers that can do this procedure well.  Just call the office to see if this is a question the front desk person can readily answer. The treatment can slim the face slightly, but it is very subtle an...
Can someone give me a nose job?
Potential pictures of a nose job?
May 4, 2020
Thank you for your question. I don't see any pictures with your questions, so we would definitely need to see you either virtually or in person to see what you're trying to achieve.  Most surgeons will be able to show you before and after photo's from actual patients for a nose result similar to what you're seeking.  As far as reshaping and contouring your face, I would definitely need to see what you're trying to achieve to see if it's possible.  Be Well!Michael R. Macdonald, MD, FACS, FRCSC
Would my nose be a good candidate for a rhinoplasty? What would you suggest?
Am I a good candidate for Rhinoplasty?
Apr 30, 2020
Thank you for your question! Based on the photo's, the little bump would be easily smoothed out with rhinoplasty.  I would need to see you in person or through a virtual consult to talk to you about narrowing the bridge since it's not as easy to see that in the photo's.  Good luck and be well!Michael R. Macdonald, MD, FACS, FRCSC
Lower bleph before or after an open rhinoplasty?
Lower eyes and rhinoplasty together, or separate?
Apr 22, 2020
Thank you for your question.  If you are working with a board certified Facial Plastic surgeon, there is no reason that lower blepharoplasty and rhinoplasty shouldn't be done by the same physician on the same date.  You benefit by recovering once, undergoing anesthesia once and paying for facility and anesthesia once.  If this is not possible, I would do the lower eyes first since the swelling from rhinoplasty takes much longer to subside.  Good luck and be well!Michael R. Macdonald, MD, FAC...
What sort of procedures can correct my nose asymmetry?
Nose asymmetry correction?
Apr 16, 2020
Nose asymmetry is very common.  The left side of our faces are not a perfect match to the right side(there are always subtle differences).  In your case, a consultation would be very helpful.  It is difficult to determine from one picture what the solution would be.  Many offices(including mine) are offering complimentary Face Time consults during this time when we can't see patients in person.  I would recommend a consult, so we can see you from different angles.  Then we will be able to gi...
Can you get a natural looking nose job?
Can a nose job be done to look natural?
Apr 3, 2020
The short answer is yes!  Rhinoplasty, when performed correctly will give you natural results so that you look like the best version of yourself possible.  I specialize in natural looking results.  Find a Board Certified Facial plastic surgeon with plenty of before and after photo's from actual patients.  Your consultation should provide you with all of the information you need to move forward. Be Well!Michael R. Macdonald, MD, FACS, FRCSC
What can be done to improve my profile?
What can be done to improve my profile?
Mar 23, 2020
Hi! Thank you for your question.  I believe a small chin implant will give the balance you're seeking to your profile.  It's amazing what a small chin implant can do. Seek a board certified facial plastic surgeon that can show you before and after photo's of work he/she has performed. Be Well!Michael R. Macdonald, MD, FACS, FRCSC
Do you think plastic surgeons will be motivated to give discounts on surgery considering the c
Since business is slower, is it a good time to do a facelift consult?
Mar 20, 2020
We can do a facetime consult, but any elective surgery is not being allowed at the hospital's and surgery centers in our area.  So yes, get a consult, but we will all have to wait to do elective surgery.Be Well,Michael R. Macdonald, MD. FACS, FRCSC
What can I do about my eyelids almost 30 years after a botched eyelid surgery?
Revision eyelid surgery after poor result from 30 years ago?
Mar 2, 2020
Since it has been 30 years since you had surgery, a consultation for a revision blepharoplasty(upper eyelids) should be considered.  During your appointment, a Board Certified Facial Plastic surgeon will go over all of the options to revise your eye lid surgery.  It is important in your pre operative appointment that you are given thorough instructions and consent to the revision, which is standard for any surgery.  Good Luck and be well.Michael R. Macdonald, MD, FACS, FRCSC
What's the next step after my medical insurer denied my surgeon's request for authorization of
Will my insurance cover my upper eye lid surgery?
Feb 24, 2020
When an insurance company denies a request for medically necessary surgery, you may have to appeal.  If the appeal also is denied you may have to have the surgeon do a peer to peer review with the insurance company.  Upper eyelid surgery is often considered cosmetic and denied fairly regularly.  They want to make sure that you meet the criteria before they will approve a surgery like this. Ultimately, you may have to pay privately if you can't convince them that the surgery is affecting yo...
I'm thinking of an upper blepharoplasty and brow lift. Are those the options you'd suggest for
Upper blepharoplasty and brow lift together?
Feb 21, 2020
Although upper eyelids and brow lift can be performed together, in your case I would just recommend upper blepharoplasty.  Your eyebrows look symmetrical and positioned correctly on the brow bone so brow lift isn't necessary.  There are many skin treatments available and good medical grade products that can be recommended by Facial Plastic Surgeons as well as Dermatologist's.  What ever you choose, Board Certified is best. Be Well!Michael R. Macdonald, MD, FACS, FRCSC
Is an upturned petite and feminine look an option for my nose?
Had 3 rhinoplasty surgeries and still not happy.
Feb 20, 2020
Thank you for your questions and the photo's.  It looks like you have good symmetry and a nice looking profile. The scar under your nose should heal. We recommend a good silicone based scar gel to help with that little line under the nose.  Sometimes people chase what they see as the perfect nose not realizing that the more times you have surgery, the more complications can arise. You have to decide if it's worth the risk.  I personally don't think you need another revision.  I wish you goo...
Sudden onset Pigmentation 4 weeks post lip filler - Is this permanent? What can be done about
Sudden onset of pigmentation 4 weeks post lip filler.
Feb 20, 2020
You were great about documenting in photo's the journey to what appears to be a little brown spot on your lip.  If I look closely in the photo's, I see a small cold sore like bump under the skin of your lip. Once this little bump went down, you are left with a brown mark. It looks like the filler has settled down.  It will dissipate and absorb in time, but if there is something uneven hyaluronic filler can be dissolved.  You should go back to the person that performed your injections in th...
Is it better to get my sparse eyebrows microbladed before blepharoplasty to help guide a surge
Should I get microblading before or after upper eyelid surgery?
Feb 12, 2020
I personally would wait until after you do surgery.  A skilled facial plastic surgeon will look at your eyelids and not the eyebrows when deciding how much skin to remove. I recommend waiting 6 to 8 weeks after your upper eyelid surgery has healed to have microblading performed.  If you don't plan to have surgery for a few years, you can have microblading done any time and it won't affect the outcome in the future. Good luck!Michael R. Macdonald, MD, FACS, FRCSC
Still same issue 1yr after septoplasty...what else could be the problem?
Had septoplasty and still can't breathe well?
Feb 7, 2020
Septoplasty can straighten a deviated septum and can improve air flow.  There are other factors that would need to be addressed as to why you're still having breathing issues like do you have enlarged turbinate's? Do you have a valve collapse? Allergies?  I would definitely get another evaluation from a surgeon that specializes in facial plastic surgery, and is also an ENT.  You can set a plan and get your breathing improved. Good luck and be well!Michael R. Macdonald, MD, FRCS, FRCSC
