How can I shorten my philtrum when I’m already showing teeth?
Lip height reduction
Apr 3, 2022
Apr 3, 2022
Hello Victoria,Thank you for your question. This is a difficult problem and from the limited photos without a formal exam, it is tough to give a specific recommendation in your case.
There are several factors involved with the lip position and size. First we can’t just assume it is the skin that needs to be removed to reduce the height of the lip. The size of the lip along with the position of the teeth and bone is also a factor. I suggest being evaluated by a craniofacial plastic surgeon…

What techniques are you used to give the “illusion make eyes appear bigger ?
Avoid cheekbone reduction and other facial bone reduction
Feb 18, 2022
Feb 18, 2022
Hello, Enlarging the eyes is not a common procedure and something that is recommend. Some have tried using orbital implants to achieve this but we do it for patients who have had trauma, congenital deformities or cancer.
I caution anyone who wants to reduce the normal cheekbone or malar/zygomatic arch because this will instantly age someone by 10-15 years. I also don’t recommend reducing the temporal area because this also will cause aging. Reducing the radix will cause the nose to appear u…

Is there any way to reduce the width and size of my lips?
Lip Reduction Surgery
Aug 9, 2019
Aug 9, 2019
Hello,
It is difficult to tell from the single photo and without an exam what your true diagnosis or cause of the problem, but an in person consultation would be needed to decide the best treatment.
Lip reduction surgery can help reduce the vertical height and the width of the lips. The incisions have to be in two directions, vertical and horizontal to treat both issues. This technique has helped many patients I have seen in the past. They are very happy with the smaller…

Is there any procedure to make my philtrum more definitive?
Upper lip improvement
Jul 9, 2019
Jul 9, 2019
Hello,
It is difficult to determine what is going on exactly which her upper lip with the limited photo that you’ve shown however there are some solutions. As plastic surgeons we like to look at night only the lip itself but the foundation which is the upper jaw underneath the lip. Sometimes the upper jaw is too long causing what you described as a gummy smile or excessive gingival show when smiling. This can be corrected either with surgery of the jaw or surgery of…

Is it safe for me to have a cleft palate surgery to improve a speech problem?
First time cleft palate surgery in an adult is safe.
Jun 29, 2019
Jun 29, 2019
Hello,
Yes it is safe to undergo cleft palate surgery as an adult. The most challenging part is after surgery relearning how to speak properly and break the bad speech habits from the cleft palate. You will not only need to find a surgeon to repair your cleft but also a speech therapist to help you improve your speech after surgery.
Best wishes,
Phileemon Eric Payne, MD

For how many hours do you have to wear the bandage after an otoplasty? Can you remove it for j
Postop Otoplasty bandage
May 12, 2019
May 12, 2019
Hello,
Typically the bandage serves two main purposes: 1. to reduce swelling and possible hematoma 2. reduce the possibility of accidental trauma causing the sutures to rupture. It doesn’t hurt to remove the bandage as instructed, but consult with your surgeon and follow their directions on what to do after the bandage is removed.

Does the titanium plate need to be removed?
Infected mandibular hardware
May 12, 2019
May 12, 2019
If the hardware is infected then at some point it needs to be removed. I suggest following up with your surgeon as soon as possible. They may need to treat the infection with antibiotics and drainage of any pus. The surgeon may also need to remove any plates and screws that are infected.
