Answer Snippet

Changing nose radix (nasion) height and width?

Raising and widening the nasal radix
Apr 8, 2020

You seem fairly astute when it comes to your nasal anatomy, aesthetics, and possible treatment methods. Augmenting various parts of a nose, including the radix, can often easily be done with injectable fillers. I would recommend something that is known to be fairly short term, temporary, and reversible (ie. an HA like Juvederm or Restylane) at first. This would give you the opportunity to see if you like what you see. If so, you could then continue with injections or step it up to a surg...

Am I a proper candidate for a facelift for my hollowed out cheeks and smile lines? (Photos

Facelift or not to facelift......
Mar 9, 2020

DON'T DO IT! You are 30 years old with seemingly excellent skin properties, decent volume, no significant volume descent or sagging. If your platysma bands are bothering you there are smaller procedures other than a facelift that are good at treating those. See a reputable board certified plastic surgeon that focuses on facial rejuvenation procedures.

I’d like to avoid invasive surgeries in general if possible? Would a filler help?

Non-surgical filler placement to create shape changes to the nose
Mar 6, 2020

Generally, non-surgical rhinoplasty is fairly limited on the alterations that can be made to the shape of a nose. It works fairly well for someone that has a low projecting dorsum (like you) or someone with a limited dorsal hump. It can also be used to add limited projection to the tip of the nose and it is also fairly reliable at correcting minor asymmetrical features. From what I can tell, by looking at your photos, the changes that could be made would be very limited. If you plan on b...

Do I have tuberous breasts? What would be the best corrective measures?

Identification and treatment of tuberous breasts
Nov 25, 2019

From you pictures I would classify your breasts as having a tuberous deformity. The cause of tuberous breasts is when during breast development there are restrictive ligaments within the glandular tissue that prevent the growth of a more "normal" rounded shape. The treatment can vary depending on the severity of the problem from a simple subglandular breast augmentation to a breast aug with underscoring of the undersurface of the breast and various forms of mastopexy. Severe cases may re...

Do ear grafts lasts forever in rhinoplasty?

Cartilage grafting in rhinoplasty surgery
Oct 22, 2019

Autologous cartilage (cartilage from your own body) taken from your ear, septum, or rib are great sources for grafts that can be used to augment, reconstruct, or support the nasal skeletal framework during rhinoplasty surgery because they are natural and will usually last your lifetime. Occasionally, they can warp or grow just like the cartilage that is already a part of your nose.

Is it possible to get a smaller nose as a Middle Eastern woman?

Rhinoplasty on a patient of Middle eastern heritage
Apr 21, 2019

Rhinoplasty surgery can certainly reshape your nose and put it in better proportion to surrounding facial features. Generally, it is more challenging to create refined features with higher definition in someone that has thicker skin and changes that are made will be more gradual over time than in people that have thinner skin. All of the problems that you are describing are routine for a Plastic Surgeon that does a lot of rhinoplasties.

I’m 4 days post revision rhinoplasty and revision chin implant. I hate it. What can I do n

Too soon to be considering additional surgery
Apr 21, 2019

Any answer that I give you must be tempered by the fact that I have not examined you and I am only getting a limited history. That said, whether a face/neck lift would serve to improve your neck and lower face contour or not, it is way too soon to be thinking about additional surgery. It would be best to put all of your energy into positioning yourself in the best possible way to have a positive outcome from your 4 day old surgical procedure. No repudiable Plastic Surgeon wo...

When is it better to use a textured implant in breast augmentation?

Textured vs smooth surfaced implants
Apr 7, 2019

I have used textured implants for many years because of the data that showed a decrease in the incidence of capsular contracture, which is probably the single most significant side effect of implant augmentation. The logic was to offer patients the best opportunity to have the longest problem free results. Over the last 5 years two significant changes have occurred in the world of breast augmentation. 5th generation, high cohesive gel implants became FDA approved for use and we started to...

How much of a difference does the implant profile make on results? I want a natural look,

Choosing implant profile
Apr 7, 2019

Moderate and Moderate + implants are generally more natural appearing when comparing them to high profile or high projecting implants. Sometimes high profile implants are necessary if a patient has an excessive amount of loose skin and wants to avoid having a coincidental mastopexy (breast lift) and sometimes a high profile implant may be chosen because the patient is looking for specific cup size increase or desires a more implanted appearance.

Rhinoseptoplasty with turbinate reduction cost?

Rhinoseptoplasty and cost
Feb 16, 2019

It does appear from the limited photos that you have a severely deviated nose that would most likely require Septal straightening and some cosmetic work to improve the appearance of her you nose. It is difficult to give you exact pricing without examining you. Part of your surgery and anesthesia may be covered by insurance and part of it is elective aesthetic work. Surgeons fees for something like this can vary between $7000 - $12,000. That fee is usually a global fee that will cover...

Do I have rhinophyma?

Is this Rhinophyma?
Feb 16, 2019

If this is Rhinophyma it is a very early or mild case. Rhinophyma is usually linked or a part of a vascular skin condition called Rosacea. Both conditions can in part be treated medically with antibiotics such as metronidazol and topical Retin-A. The surgical treatment of Rhynophyma is usually with laser ablation. I would see either a Dermatologist of Plastic Surgeon.

Help! 21 year old researching options for African American rhinoplasty

African American Rhinoplasty
Jan 30, 2019

It appears that you would be a good candidate for a rhinoplasty. From the photos it appears that while your profile is pretty nice the "front on photo" shows a nose that it is disproportionately wide. These are often classic features of an African American nose. Your nasal bones and nostrils are flared and should be narrowed. The tip of your nose also seems somewhat full and "bulbous". This too, can be made more streamline with rhinoplasty surgery. I recommend consulting with a plas...

Healing after BBL
Jul 16, 2018

Thank you for your question. Everybody heals at different rates, and it's very common to have discomfort at 4 days after a BBL. However, if you have any questions/concerns, you should contact your surgeon to discuss.Best,Dr. Michael EpsteinMAE Plastic SurgeryNorthbrook, IL
