Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Does microneedling/PRP plump the face or does it just build collagen that works on the skin
Microneedling with PRP
Jun 29, 2019
The goal of microneedling with PRP treatments is to stimulate collagen growth on the skin in order to improve its overall quality and texture.  It does not make your face plump the way fillers do. Some patients elect to have PRFM (platelet rich fibrin matrix - a more solidified form of PRP) to be injected at the same time and that can be used for volume augmentation.  Goretti H. Taghva MD FACS
Why didn’t my surgery work out in evening my eyes? What can I do now? What surgery’s do I n
Eyelid asymmetry after eyelid surgery
Jun 29, 2019
The asymmetry appears to be due to insufficient ptosis repair of the smaller eye.  You should follow up with your primary surgeon and a revision surgery is most likely warranted.  Best of luck!Goretti H. Taghva MD FACS
Is it better to use ear cartilage or rib for an Asian rhinoplasty?
Ear vs rib cartilage for Asian Rhinoplasties
Jun 29, 2019
Thank you for your question.  Typically, ear cartilage is used to increase projection and refine the tip of the nose whether you use an implant/ autologous tissue for bridge augmentation.  If only a conservative augmentation is needed for the bridge, ear cartilage can be used in conjunction with temporalis fascia as well.  Looking at your photos, more cartilage may be needed than just using the ear to increase the bridge and radix height to look like your wish photo.  Longevity wise both...
What can I do about the filler in my nose glowing red in the sun?
Glow in the sun nose filler
May 1, 2019
Hyaluronic acid is a translucent gel.  When a lot is placed under thin skin, it can appear translucent like what we see on your photos.  If you like the shape of your nose, you can try to see if BB cream/ foundation can do a better job covering it.  If you really can’t stand the look of it, then dissolving it would be a good option.  You may then consider trying a different filler that isn’t HA based, or surgical rhinoplasty. Good luck!Goretti H. Taghva MD FACS
3 weeks post-op. My radix is too high. Will it get lower after time?
Too early to tell
May 1, 2019
Hello! Swelling can be quite prominent at 3 weeks post op.  Fascial grafts may hold onto the swelling a bit longer compared to implants.   The radix area should appear less swollen over the next 4-8 weeks.  Be patient! Goretti H. Taghva MD
