Are my eyes too close together? If so, what procedure is recommended?
Eyes too close together?
Apr 1, 2023
They are definitely not. Don't listen to what other people say. Your eyes are normal and beautiful..
You have to love yourself.
Considering procedures to alter my chin - Would filler, liposuction, or an implant deliver th
Single incision "neck lift"
Mar 23, 2023
In my opinion you are a great candidate for what is known as an anterior neck lift. This is basically a reshaping of the muscle in the neck through 1 incision under the chin. This allows direct access to fat, including fat that is under the muscle (which you can't get to with liposuction). No skin is removed, because at your age the skin can contract and re-drape over the new shape automatically. I do not think you would have a great result with liposuction alone in my experience. ...
Can a solid dorsum rib graft be removed through closed approach even if it's stitched down?
Rib removal via closed approach
Aug 26, 2022
Definitely a rib can be removed via the closed approach no matter how it was secured. For simple removal or modification of a dorsal graft, there should be no reason to open the nose with a columellar incision.
I'm 37, are these perioral mounds or something else (pre-jowls)? Options?
Buccal fat
Aug 26, 2022
That may be buccal fat. Excision can be done in the clinic under local anesthesia. The incision is made in the mouth and heals very well typically.
Is Post Laser Erythema from Erbium Permanent?
Redness after laser
Aug 7, 2022
Depending on the depth of the laser, redness can last many months sometimes. Could be 6 months or more. Talk to your dermatologist. Don't take advice from strangers on the internet.
How long after Nose Botox Can I Get Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty after nose Botox
Aug 7, 2022
I would say until the Botox wears off, maybe 3-4 months. It probably doesn't matter that much. There is more to it than the muscle in terms of surgery. The secret to preventing drooping of the nose with smiling has more to do with tip projection. I would have to see your nose too explain more.
Would I be able to remove the rib & use septal cartilage/something softer like a normal nose?
Nose too stiff after open rhinoplasty
Aug 7, 2022
This is a big problem i see with open rhinoplasty, especially when rib grafts are used. It is very unusual to need rib cartilage for a primary rhinoplasty. It is possible that some of the grafts could be removed to help soften the nose. It totally depends on what types of grafts were used and what other maneuvers were performed.
Is there a procedure to make my bottom lip smaller and rounder?
Don't do it
Apr 27, 2022
Don't do it. You will regret it later in life (or even right off the bat). You have very nice lips already. Just because someone might agree to do it doesn't mean you should.
Considering neck lift. Can this be improved with a single incision?
Consider a direct neck lift
Nov 12, 2021
You might consider a direct neck lift. This is done via an incision in the midline of the neck where the skin is excised directly from where it's loose. There are no incisions around the ears and very low risk of any complication. The scar typically heals very well. This is a great option for men with relatively isolated loose skin in the midline.
How to narrow space between eyes?
Narrow space between eyes
Nov 3, 2021
You can't find a doctor to do this because it's not really possible and deductive not advisable. I'm more concerned that you are "desperate" to find someone to do this. You are beautiful and should not be stuck on this issue. Love yourself.
Is this an Inverted V deformity 2 years post-op and what are my options of fixing this? (Phot
Inverted V "deformity"
Nov 1, 2021
It does look like there is a subtle shadow in an inverted V formation on your upper bridge. This is caused by the cartilage in the middle 1/3 of the nose contracting in somewhat beyond where the bones can, causing a shadow to form at the lower end of the nasal bones. This give the inverted V pattern. This does not have to be fixed if it is not bothering you. If it does bother you, the best way to fix this is to cover the area with something, usually cartilage. Your upper bridge on profile...
Am I too young for a Facelift?
Facelift at 20?
Oct 15, 2021
You DEFINITELY do not need a facelift at 20 years old. I don't think you look old at all. Not sure why you feel this way. I would go for an in person consult to discuss. NON-SURGICAL options.
What is the likelihood of Rhinoplasty causing scarring after previous Chemical Peels and CO2
Rhinoplasty after facial laser resurfacing
Oct 15, 2021
Your laser treatments and peels should not put you at more risk for scarring during rhinoplasty, assuming the surgeon is in the correct plane when dissecting the nose. Of course, closed rhinoplasty has less chance of scarring overall and maintains blood supply better than open rhinoplasty.
Can my hanging columella be fixed with permanent non surgical rhinoplasty?
Do not get permanent fillers in your nose
Sep 26, 2021
Fillers will not do anything for a hanging columella. It's relatively easy to fix with surgery. On a side note, never agree to getting permanent fillers in your nose. It's WAY off label and not a good idea.
Weird looking eyes, asymmetrical. How can I fix this problem? Will a brow lift help?
What??
Sep 25, 2021
I have no idea what you're talking about. Did you upload a photo of what you WANT your eyes to look like? The photo shows beautiful, nearly perfectly symmetrical eyes. People "rude stare" at you? I mean this with the utmost respect and care when i say that you may need to see a psychiatrist to work through whatever is making you feel this way about yourself. This kind of post is why i really don't like Realself. Societal pressure to be perfect, perpetuated by sites like Realself, has...
