Lip lift scar at 6 months post-op, will it improve from here?
Lip Lift Scar
Feb 10, 2023
Hi there, Thank you for sharing your concerns and photos. I’m sorry you’re feeling self-conscious about your scar. In general, scars mature for up to a year, so the texture and color will likely continue to get better. Based on your photos – in addition to the white line – there seems to be some areas of raised (hypertrophic) scarring, and other areas of redness. In my experience, redness can be improved with lasers – such as PDL or vascular laser – and any thickening can be improved with…
Lip Lift – Candidate or do I need a different procedure?
Lip Lift Candidacy
Feb 10, 2023
Hi there, A lip lift primarily reduces the space between the base of the nose and the upper lip (also called the “cutaneous upper lip”) and improves tooth show with soft opening of the mouth. Depending on how the procedure is done, it can also – but does not necessarily – improve the eversion/height of the upper lip (also called the “mucosal upper lip”). If your issue is tooth show with smiling, this will likely not be improved with a lip lift as a lip lift does little to impact this. But to…
I have a lot of tooth show – bullhorn or V-Y?
Bullhorn vs. V-Y Lip Lift
Feb 10, 2023
Hi Jessie, Thanks for sharing your question and photo. In similar situations I’ve handled – patients with greater than 2mm tooth show – I did not use a traditional (bullhorn) lip lift, as it would have most certainly led to exaggerated tooth show. Whether or not you’re a candidate for a V-Y advancement or other surgical/non-surgical volumization depends on your aesthetic goals, which you didn’t specify. It would also require different photographic views, along with a history and physical…
Uneven eyelids, 36 y/o male. Should I go ahead with a blepharoplasty now?
Blepharoplasty for Uneven Eyelids
Feb 10, 2023
Hi there,
To assess patients for blepharoplasty, a surgeon must evaluate not only the skin of the upper eyelid, but also the position of the eyelids over the eyes, the volume of the eyelids and the positioning of the brow. In my past experience, patients like you would benefit from possible eyelid ptosis repair to create even height of the eyelid, as well as volumization of the upper eyelids with filler or fat. An upper blepharoplasty could be necessary as well, but is less important in my…
Are there alternatives to blepharoplasty that would help me achieve more symmetrical eyes or is surg
Asymmetric Eyelids
Feb 10, 2023
Hi Lex,
Thanks for sharing your concern and photo. In similar situations, an upper blepharoplasty has been very useful in creating more symmetry in eyelids. It may not be as simple as differential removal of skin – the eyelid creases must be measured and potentially symmetrized, and eyelid volume and contour must also be accounted for. In my experience, there isn’t a non-surgical option that can fix this issue. Sometimes Botox can be used to even out the brows, but this issue seems more…
Age 44, would upper blepharoplasty help with my excess eyelid skin?
Upper Blepharoplasty
Feb 10, 2023
Hi Aly,
Based on your photos, you would likely benefit from an upper blepharoplasty, which would help to alleviate some of the skin that rests too low. It also looks like you would need a temporal browlift, to help the area to the side of your eye and give your brows more youthful shape. Without the browlift, you may have not have as optimal of a result.
Of course whether or not you’re a good candidate for surgery is not just your aesthetic appearance but whether you meet health criteria…
Potential eye surgeries? 19 y/o concerned eyes are low compared with eyebrows
Surgery for low brow/tired eyes
Feb 10, 2023
Hi there,
Based on your photos and your explanation, it seems your issues stem from slightly low brows and a condition called ptosis – or eyelids that are too low. For these reasons, you would likely benefit from a conservative temporary/lateral browlift – to lift the sides of your brows, and an upper eyelid ptosis repair to raise your eyelid height so more of your pupil is exposed. Its hard to know from your pictures, but you also may require an upper blepharoplasty to help with the excess…
Hylenex/steroid and EndyMed for prolonged post-lower blepharoplasty swelling – is it worth the risks
Post-Lower Blepharoplasty Swelling
Feb 10, 2023
Hi there,
I’m sorry you’re experiencing delayed swelling. This can happen from time-to-time with lower bleph, and usually resolves overtime. Hylenex is safe, but it’s only necessary if you have any history of undereye filler. Even if the filler was previously dissolved and/or many years ago, there is a chance there is still some there that is causing that area to act like a “sponge”. I know some people talk about permanent issues with Hylenex, but I don’t think it’s ever been proven and it…
57, male, upper bleph revision 6 months ago & concerned about asymmetry, should I go back to surgeon
Upper eyelid asymmetry: lid versus brow position
Feb 9, 2023
Hi David, Asymmetry like yours could be related to asymmetric skin removal. But it is more likely related to the positioning of your brows. From the photo it appears your right brow is lower than your left (brow asymmetry is very common, by the way). When upper blepharoplasty is performed, the amount of symmetry possible is very frequently related to brows. In your case, it is possible that the bleph was done appropriately, but now that your eyelids are more visible, the asymmetry from your…
Am I a good candidate for lower eyelid surgery or should I continue to use filler to minimize fatty
Lower Lid Surgery
Feb 9, 2023
Hi there, In general, the decision about whether to get eyelid surgery or filler, and which type of surgery to do, is hard to make based on photos alone. It is important to look at the tissues in person to see the nuances related to potential edema (fluid), lid positioning, etc. Looking at your photos, it appears you have some residual filler at the lower portion of your eyelids that is causing the illusion of eyelid bags. You also may have some bags, which would mean you are a surgical…
Would a lip lift help remove or reduce the appearance of smokers lines?
Lip lift as a treatment for “smokers lines”
Feb 8, 2023
Hi there,
The short answer to your question is: a lip lift does nothing to help these wrinkles, or to the integrity of the skin of the upper lip in general.
The longer answer:
A lip lift surgery can be used to achieve one or more of three things:
1) Improving the “show” of the upper teeth when your mouth is parted2) Decreasing the distance between the nose and the upper lip3) “Everting” the upper lip so that more red lip shows
Your picture is demonstrating the normal movement wrinkles of the…
Swelling returned one year after a nose job, is this normal?
Swelling Despite Steroids
Mar 13, 2017
Thanks for your question and sorry to hear about your issue.
Swelling after rhinoplasty is a complicated and unpredictable process. Even with steroid injections, swelling can again get worse. Depending on what was done during the surgery, the stiffness is also normal and may improve over time.
Swelling after rhinoplasty can take at least 1 year to settle. Even though this is the case, you should re-consult with your surgeon to make sure everything looks ok. But you can rest assured there is…
Rhinoplasty – tip is very bulbous after 15 months.
Steroids in Post-Rhinoplasty Tip
Mar 13, 2017
Hi Victoria,
I’m sorry to hear that your tip is bulbous after surgery. It is possible – but not likely – that this is continued swelling, which could continue to decrease.
I recommend against steroid injections into the tip. In general, injections of steroids into the tip is not receommended, as the steroid is unpredictable in this area and can cause serious problems with the tip.
I do recommend consulting with you original surgeon to ask his or her opinion. It is always…
Did my doctor inject too much Botox?
Gummy Smile Treatment: Too Much Botox?
Mar 1, 2017
Hi Jamie,
So sorry to hear about your situation. Its impossible to critique from afar, so I will give you doctor the benefit of the doubt. However, 15 units is a bit much for weakening the elevation of these muscles, and this over-injection is likely related to your dissatisfaction. In addition, lack of precision in injection can cause some fo the issues you are having.
There are possible causes, aside from over-injection or mis-injection. Frequently, when botox is injected to weaken one…
My nose is hooked to the right and my nostrils are not proportionate. Can it be fixed with rhinoplas
Nasal Congestion and Hooked Nose
Mar 1, 2017
Hi Drew,
The short answer is: maybe. A “hooked” nose can be related to a number of factors, all of which can affect breathing. Breathing is a complex, 3-dimensional process and involves all nasal structures in different ways.
Just looking at your photos, I can see a collapsed middle vault on the left side (the middle portion of the nose, which is mainly cartilage), which can certainly explain continued congestion after septoplasty. A thorough, in-person examination…
