Can a Diced Cartilage Fascia Graft on bridge be chiseled down?

DICED CARTILAGE
Sep 11, 2020

Hi, good question and very practical. I would say "yes" that it "can" be done....whether it needs to or "should" be done is best determined with the original surgeon. I would call him/her to share your concerns, make an appointment and go over the area in question. That is probably the best way to go about it for you three weeks post procedure.

What kind of surgery would be beneficial for me to achieve a more masculine/symmetric look? (Phot

Nose and Chin Profile
Apr 30, 2020

Hi, I was in Szeged in February of this year. From what i can see the chin is retruded. This can be addressed with a nice chin augmentation and a closed rhinoplasty to gently smooth out the top of the nose (the dorsum) and also fill that little "dip" or small saddle just above the tip. Depending on how your teeth are you would either be a candidate or a chin implant or an actual genioplasty which would move the chin forward and down. The genioplasty would be an option...

Can my upper lip damage due to a busted lip be corrected?

Busted Lip
Apr 27, 2020

Well, i have first hand knowledge about this. Back in the 1980s I had a little "skateboarding injury" acting like Tony Hawk and put a nice hole through my lower lip. From what I can tell there is minor/little issue with the lip. There may be a little asymmetry but that can be corrected with some beautiful filler. I do not appreciate any scarring from the picture. IF there is some then some nice resurfacing should help it .

Is this a facial Keloid and if so what can I do to get rid of it?

keloids
Apr 22, 2020

Hi, these do NOT look like keloids. This is based on the location and on the picture. The picture is not that great though. These looks like acne-type lesions, that are very inflamed. IF they are scars, they appear to be "hypertrophic" scars not really full blown keloids. Physical examination is of course needed to really determine what they are and how to treat.
Hope that helps from Michigan

What should I do? All I want is to make my nose thinner. My nose is fat and uneven nostrils. (pho

Thinner nose
Apr 22, 2020

Hi, i just saw this question. Your question is actually a good one. It is extremely normal for people to want to change perhaps things that are not ideal on their nose face or body. The most critical component of all this is that when we talk about rhinoplasty we talk about improving things or enhancing or optimizing. Those are broad terms on purpose because specific things like fixing, making, creating are not really the best terms because it sounds like you're fixing granite...

How difficult it is to remove septal extension graft and place lateral crural strut grafts with f

Septal extension graft
Apr 7, 2020

Hi, that operation is not that difficult for the most part....however...without seeing your nose or anything else it is impossible to give a very accurate answer. The operation can be done from an endonasal approach and should not require "opening" the nose....the lateral crura can be delivered endonasally and grafts placed etc...the other part of the answer is who determined that you need the removal and the strut grafts? You need to make sure those maneuvers are appropriate for you...

Can my face be rearranged from 1 to 2 and be more refined and delicate?

Nose Rearrangement
Mar 31, 2020

Hi, your question is a good one. It looks like you narrowed the nasal bones on photo #2. This can be done by freeing up and maneuvering your nasal bones to the better position. It requires an operation and can be done with the closed approach.

I am not sure if I can get a rhinoplasty done with what appears on my CT scan?

CT scan and rhinoplasty
Mar 31, 2020

HI your question is a good one.. Essentially, the FIRST thing your doctor needs to do is verify that the area in your sinonasal cavity is from chronic sinusitis and NOT due to anything more involved. The fact that it is only on the right side indicates that he/she needs to really see that area and make sure it not something growing. Anything like that is extremely rare however. Medical therapy is the first measure for chronic sinusitis which includes...

Follow-up question: Can a caudal septal extension graft replace a lip lift with a retracted colum

Nasal Base and Lip Lift and Columella
Mar 31, 2020

Hi, thank you for your question. I do a lot of nasal base surgery and address the columellar base and the retracted columella. The columellar extension graft will help to lengthen the nose, push the columella more anteriorly and give more definition and support to the columella. The columella will look less "sucked in". This graft will define the base of the nose on side view and support the columella and will push the very top of your lip where it meets the nose outward...

What are your suggestions for a better facial balance?

Nose and Chin Harmony
Mar 31, 2020

Hello, thank you for your question. This is an important one. I'm glad to know that you are analyzing the nose and overall facial profile together. This is very important. Many patients do not do this and they think it's just the nose that is the issue.
So having a look at your pictures, I think you would do well with a chin augmentation as it appears to be retruded and small. This will improve the lower 3rd of the face and put the nose in improved harmony with...

How complex would a potential rhinoplasty be to create a straighter profile and downward tip rota

Refining your nose
Mar 31, 2020

Hi and thank you for your question. The question is pretty straightforward but the answer is not necessarily as straightforward. The executive version is that, yes, there are maneuvers to improve the appearance of the nose so that it is less upturned and less scooped. From what I can tell this could be achieved from a closed/endonasal approach. There are maneuvers to deproject (slightly shorten) and counter-rotate the nose. Maneuvers on the tip will also affect the appearance of...

What's the best way to deal with the uneven nostril and one side of nose that is bigger?

Asymmetric Nostril
Mar 31, 2020

Hi, thank you for your question. From what I can tell you have some alar retraction. This is due to a combination of things but from what I can tell your facial bones are asymmetric. The area by the nasal ala on the LEFT probably has less bony support compared to the right. The left nostril is slightly elevated and retracted. We use an endonasal approach and augment the deficiency with a "sub-alar" graft.

On Base view it appears your septum...

Ribs vs Ears
Mar 31, 2020

Hi that is a great and SMART question. These are not to be taken casually! MAKE SURE you go to someone who is definitely positioned as a seasoned and experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeon. Make sure that grafting material from those areas is really required.

Rib Issues:
Pain, swelling, infection, pneumothorax, chest deformity, scarring, keloid, discoloration are most of the possible issues

Ear Issues:
Pain, swelling ,chondritis (infection of the...

Is it possible for me to get a button nose?

Nasal Refinement
Mar 31, 2020

Hi, your question is a good one. Your question is straightforward but the answer is not that easy. We cannot create or "order up" a nose like we can for kitchens, baths etc....that being said there are options to help optimize and refine the nose. The skin thickness and level of glandular activity is important. IF the skin is thick and has alot of gland activity I would treat this with topicals and judicious use of light therapy. Once the skin is...

Do I look as though I may need some face liposuction?

The Chin
Mar 31, 2020

Hi, thank you for your question. From what I can tell the chin is indeed mild to moderately enlarged. I cannot tell for sure without proper evaluation though. When dealing with the chin we need to evaluate a few important things.
- How do the teeth fit together....are there any issues with the bite?
- Is the appearance of the enlarged chin due to the actual mandible/jaw bone?
- Is the appearance of the enlarged chin due to the soft tissue overlying the bone?
-Is it a...
