Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
3 weeks post-op. I can’t open my mouth all the way. What is the usual outcome of a situation like
Lip asymmetry
May 21, 2019
At three weeks out from surgery, it is normal to have swelling that can lead to tightness and temporary inactivity of the nerves. However, it is important to follow up with your surgeon to fully assess the activity of your nerves and your skin. Sometimes the hibernation of nerves lasts a few weeks and sometimes can take longer. Follow up regularly with your surgeon to follow up and make sure there is improvement of the nerve function.
1 month post op rhinoplasty: my tip is too high and my nose looks hooked. Will my tip drop?
Swelling takes one year + to go down
May 17, 2019
At this point it is normal to have significant swelling of the nose. It is common for the tip of the nose to look more upturned initially and will likely drop over the course of the year. Follow up with your surgeon to discuss steroid shots and taping the nose. Only after a year will you better be able to evaluate the effect of the hump removal.
SMAS mini lift, I look like I’m wearing an invisible party hat with a crease from ear to ear. Is t
Normal swelling
May 3, 2019
Hard to give a full answer without your before photos, but everything looks normal for 3 weeks after surgery. Swelling and tightness can often make a line that looks too sharp initially. Follow up with your surgeon, but I am confident that with time and massage, the sharp line will resolve and you will be happy with your result.
Volite did not fill my lip lines. Would Voluma be a better option? Or was it that not enough was i
NO Voluma, but many other options
Apr 30, 2019
Voluma is too thick to be used in such a delicate area, and is best used for deep injections of the cheeks and jawline. I have had success treating lip lines with Juvederm Vollure as a deeper injection to the base layer and then another layer of Vollure to each individual lip line after that. Vollure, like Voluma, doesn’t absorb as much water as Juvederm Ultra and therefore goes in like honey without too much swelling after. This is just one option of many for treating lip lines, but Voluma…
3 weeks PO. I’m unable to breathe through my nose after septorhinoplasty. Is this normal or should
Normal swelling
Apr 30, 2019
It takes a year and sometimes more for all the swelling to leave the nose after a septorhinoplasty. So the sensation of a stuffed nose and seeing the swelling you are seeing are all par for the course. Continue follow ups with your surgeon. Sometimes the most difficult part of surgery is having patience until the swelling goes fully away.
