Doctor's answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Can I get a cavity filled a couple of days prior to rhinoplasty?
Dental work before rhinoplasty
Dec 16, 2019
Having a cavity filled a few days before your nasal surgery should be fine. Make sure to touch base with your surgeon just to be safe. Good luck!
Is this a Pollybeak Deformity?
Pollybeak deformity
Dec 16, 2019
Thanks for your inquiry. Given your timeline, I would continue to wait and see if there is any residual swelling that is contributing to fullness on the bridge of your nose. It is possible that over the coming months you may see improvement with this issue. 
Do I have a droopy tip or an illusion of droopy tip? What can be done?
Droopy tip
Jun 23, 2019
Based on your photos, I do not think Botox will be an effective solution for your concerns. You appear to be a good candidate for rhinoplasty surgery. I recommend in-person consultations with board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeons with significant rhinoplasty experience so that they may discuss realistic expectations of surgery. 
When your nose tip is lifted does it create more nostril-show from the front?
Nostril show
Jun 23, 2019
With the question you’re asking, the key is to walk the fine line in lifting the nasal tip enough to create an aesthetically pleasing appearance without being excessive and creating too much nostril show. In all likelihood there will be some increased nostril show, but an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon should be able to prevent an unnatural appearance. I recommend in-person consultations with board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeons who can discuss their expectations with you. 
Is it possible to return a cartilage graft taken from the ear for rhinoplasty and put it back again?
Ear cartilage
Jun 23, 2019
After harvesting ear cartilage from the conchal bowl region, I would not expect it to re-grow. That said, what you’re asking for, to return the previously harvested ear cartilage from the nose and return your nose to its original appearance, may be a very technically challenging process, depending on the maneuvers that were performed during the first surgery. Perhaps some cartilage could be removed from the other ear and transferred to the affected ear in an attempt to balance both sides. W...
Can my nose be made smaller?
Nasal reduction
Jun 23, 2019
Thank you for your post. Based on your photos, yes, you appear to be a good candidate for rhinoplasty surgery. Techniques to reduce the size/shape of the nose can be used to create an appearance that better fits your face. I recommend you seek in-person consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who has significant rhinoplasty experience.
Is a mask of some sort needed after a phenol peel?
Phenol peel
Jun 22, 2019
Every surgeon has slightly different protocols and post-operative routines. That does not necessarily mean that one is better than the other. For example, I perform phenol peels and send my patients home with instructions to apply Aquaphor ointment for the first week until the facial skin heals. Patients follow up in my office after one week. I have not experienced any significant problems with this routine. But patients can always contact me during the first week if there are any concerns....
Can asymmetrical cartilage on my nose domes be fixed?
Nasal tip surgery
Jun 22, 2019
Thanks for your inquiry. Yes, rhinoplasty surgery can modify and improve irregularities and asymmetries involving the nasal tip. There are many different methods to accomplish these changes so I recommend you consult in person with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon in your area. 
Do all facelifts have scars in front of the hairline? Are there other options?
Facelift scars
Jun 22, 2019
Most facelift procedures require incisions in and along the front of the ear. However, if the procedure is well-designed and well-executed, these incisions heal with virtually no significant visibility. Depending how you wear your hair, these incisions may not be a significant issue for you.
Do I have jowls? Do I need a facelift?
You do not need a facelift
Jun 22, 2019
Thanks for your inquiry. Based on your photos you do no have significant jowls, or other features that typically make one a good candidate for facelift procedures. At your stage I would consider evaluation for filler injections or minimally invasive procedures. Be sure to consult with a board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon. Good luck!
Can I do Botox and then a Photofacial (IPL), a week apart?
Botox and IPL
Jun 22, 2019
If you stagger your Botox and IPL treatments as you describe, then you should be fine. Best of luck!
Is it safe to have Botox in the neck with health conditions?
Botox injections and the Neck
Jun 22, 2019
No, Botox will have no effect on the thyroid when injected into the neck. But as always, make sure an experienced injector is performing your injections and doing so in a safe manner. I recommend you consult with an experienced facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon in your area. 
Chances of a bump developing, nasal collapse or deformity? It seems that a bunch of people discover bumps
nasal bumps, etc.
Feb 4, 2019
Thanks for your post. To truly answer your question it would be necessary to examine your nose, as well as understand what type(s) of surgical intervention was performed. Yes, there can be some bumps or irregularities that develop post-operatively. However, many are transient and not necessarily a sign of permanent deformities. It would be best to follow up regularly with your surgeon and express any concerns you might have.
Face lift on 39 year old - Am I a candidate?
Facelift candidacy
Jan 22, 2019
Thanks for your question. In general, I try not to let one's age be the primary determining factor when deciding if he or she is a good candidate for a surgical facelift. Rather, there should be evidence of facial and neck aging that would make surgical intervention appropriate. In your case, based on the photos you submitted, I would suggest less invasive techniques either via volumization and/or focus on skin rejuvenation. Regarding your brows, your photos do not allow for proper e...
Why does Mohs surgery take so long?
Mohs duration
Jan 15, 2019
Sorry to hear you're frustrated with your Mohs experiences. The duration of the case depends on a number of factors including the amount of tissue removed in each pass by the surgeon, the facility's ability to process specimens (or being overloaded with a busy schedule), and the severity of the skin cancer. It may be a combination of those issues. If you find yourself frustrated by the process, perhaps consult with additional Mohs surgeons in your area to see if there are any advantages to...
