Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I want to know how thick my skin looks and whether its too thick for rhinoplasty or what i would expe
skin thickness assessment
Mar 14, 2020
Thanks for the question Candice. It is very wise to have a realistic expectation going into any surgery especially a rhinoplasty. From these photos, I would classify your nasal skin as medium thickness. It is not so thin that every contour of the underlying cartilage is visible, but there are some visible contours in your tip. You have the ideal skin thickness in that changes in the cartilage will translate into visible refinements of your nose but not look too sharp or angular requiring…
Unique perforated septum – is it worth fixing?
absolutely fixable unique septal perforation
Mar 14, 2020
Excellent question and understandable worries. Your perforation looks to be in the membranous septum as you described. This is soft tissue and can be sutured closed. We sometimes make a similar incision during rhinoplasty called a full transfixion incision to deproject or set the nose back. Speak to a board certified rhinoplasty surgeon (facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon) and they should be able to help you correct that. There is no need to worry about a saddle nose developing as…
I am 6 weeks out from combination procedure of upper lid blepharoplasty and CO2 laser.
CO2 laser and blepharoplasty
Apr 6, 2018
I tell all my CO2 laser patients to expect a sun burn like redness to last for 40 days to 3 months. You are still in the healing phase. Using an recovery complex topical skin lotion can help immensely in speeding this up. The burning in your eyes is more concerning as you may be experiencing dry eye symptoms as a complication of the blepharoplasty. Make sure to use eye drops (natural tears) during the day. If your eyelids don’t close completely you should be using a lacrilube…
With an Asian nose, should I possibly consider a septorhinoplasty instead of just a septoplasty?
septoplasty in asian nose
Apr 6, 2018
Great question. A septoplasty can be done to straighten your septum and make your breathing more equal, the question I would ask is regarding the integrity of your nasal valve and if any grafting is necessary to optimize your breathing any further. Changing the shape/bridge would be an individual cosmetic consideration for you and your surgeon to discuss.
All the best, Dr. Brace
How does getting nose surgery alter your (anterior) face?
rhinoplasty
Dec 8, 2017
A rhinoplasty can put your nose in better harmony with your face. It should not drastically change your appearance, rather make your nose less prominent and distracting. An expert rhinoplasty surgeon can perform surgery to give you lifelong natural looking results. It is possible to place all the incisions inside your nose and avoid all visible scars. Make sure you see an expert.
Would a mini facelift at my age be out there?
mini facelift alternativve
Dec 8, 2017
In order to fully address your concerns an in person consult would be necessary. From your photos, you look like you may be a candidate for a number of non-surgical technologies that can tighten the skin. No face lift will address your forehead size. Botox will not change the shape of your forehead either. A surgical forehead reduction can pull your hairline down, but this requires an in depth discussion and assessment. See an expert with access to all tools and techniques (injectables,…
Can I still move my forehead after Botox?
retaining movement after Botox
Jul 27, 2017
The simple answer is absolutely, you can have Botox injected to soften your forehead lines while still retaining movement. It all depends on how much is injected. See an expert and explain your goals. A Board Certified injector should be able to help you achieve what you are looking for.
All the best, Dr. Brace
