Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Use of ethmoid bone grafts in Rhinoplasty
Bone grafts and revision rhinoplasty
Nov 18, 2009
The problem with bone grafts is that they are not as dependable an alternative as cartilage grafts. Large surgical case series show that cartilage grafting in the nose produces long lasting dependable results. I think you can tell this from the consensus of opinions among the other surgeons. I also agree that 5 hours is likely too long as far as operative time is concerned even for revision surgery.
Possible to narrow a nasal bone without fracturing the bones?
Narrowing the nose
Nov 18, 2009
I concur with many of the comments made thus far. Performing osteotomies (breaking the nasal bones and resetting the bones) is the best way to achieve a natural narrowing to the nasal bridge. Augmentation of the nasal bridge is useful in situations when the nasal bridge is both lacking definition and height. The photograph shown does not reveal enough to make specific comment on the question posed.
Restylane or Juvederm injection safe and effective for under eyes?
Prefer Restylane for under eye hollowing
Sep 24, 2009
I think that a filler procedure is ideal for the circumstance described. The loss of volume (reduction of fat) after blepharoplasty creates hollowing under the eyes. This is best addressed with a filler agent that can "volumize" the hollow area. I agree with comments noted by other physicians that this is safe and effective but highly dependent on the skill of the person performing the procedure. Another option for longer-term results is fat injection.
Is massaging nose after Rhinoplasty recommended?
Massaging the nose after Rhinoplasty is not recommended
Jul 30, 2009
I’m not in favor of this practice. Occasionally the nasal bones can slightly displace after rhinoplasty. It is in this case that i will encourage the patient to massage the bony portion to try to narrow it as it is healing. Otherwise, I don’t think that massage assists in healing process during the post-operative phase.
Removing nose bump without breaking the nose?
Nasal hump removal
Jul 14, 2009
My answer is consistent with what other doctors have answered: A very small hump can be filed down without "infracturing the nose". If the hump is sizable and filed down without fracturing the nasal bones, the nose will appear too wide.
Cost of rhinoplasty is highly regional and surgeon dependent…and thus has a wide price range.
Should a Rhinoplasty or Septoplasty surgeon also be an ENT doctor?
Facial Plastic Surgeon
Jun 24, 2009
Otolaryngologists concentrate on the complex anatomy, physiology and pathology of the face, head and neck, enabling them to become uniquely qualified to perform surgery in this region of the body. A Facial Plastic Surgeon specializes in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of the face. Facial aesthetic and reconstructive surgery is a main subspecialty of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery.
A Facial Plastic Surgeon has undergone rigorous training specific to the head and neck to be…
