Statement: Dr. Thomas J. Walker is a double-board-certified facial plastic surgeon practicing in Atlanta, Georgia. He has expertise in all types of plastic surgery procedures for the face, head, and neck, but he specializes in rhinoplasty, including challenging nose reconstruction surgery.

He is also known for his skill with Asian and African American rhinoplasty surgery.

Dr. Walker is proud to offer not only a wide range of surgical options—from facelifts, eyelid lifts, buccal fat removal to NeoGraft hair transplants—but also a wide range of innovative nonsurgical options. Facial rejuvenation treatment offerings at his practice include injectables like Botox, dermal fillers, and Kybella, as well as laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and Infini RF Microneedling. He also offers TruSculpt and CoolSculpting.

After spending his childhood and young adulthood in Germany, Dr. Walker relocated to the U.S. to pursue his higher education. He earned his medical degree from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan before undertaking a five-year residency in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery at the University of Miami, where he was named chief resident in his final year.

Dr. Walker was selected for a highly competitive fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of Illinois-Chicago, acting as the personal fellow of world-renowned rhinoplasty expert Dr. Dean Toriumi. Simultaneously, Dr. Walker acted as a clinical instructor at the University of Illinois-Chicago in the otolaryngology-head and neck surgery department, where he guided ENT residents.

Dr. Walker is double-board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. He is also a fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a member of multiple professional organizations, including the American Medical Association. His medical colleagues frequently seek out his expertise and book him for their own cosmetic surgeries, as well as those of their family members.

When he’s not practicing medicine, Dr. Walker is passionate about research and has presented his findings to peers at conferences, both domestically and internationally. He has also been published in numerous esteemed publications and textbooks.

He enjoys spending his time outside of his practice with his wife and two children, in addition to baking, playing tennis and golf, and traveling internationally.

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Do lip fillers fade faster due to electric toothbrush usage?
Lip filler duration
Nov 15, 2023
No unless you're brushing your lip, not your teeth. Fillers dissolve faster in patients who exercise a lot and have a high metabolic rate.

Can I make my nose look similar to this?
Narrowing of nose
Nov 15, 2023
The picture quality is quite low and out of focus but generally speaking a nose can be narrowed with various methods. The balance of the nose and face must be maintained and the nasal skin thickness matters. It is best to see a rhinoplasty specialist for a consultation to discuss your goals.

Would an ethnic rhinoplasty help me achieve my desired results?
Ethnic rhinoplasty
Oct 31, 2023
A rhinoplasty consultation in person with a rhinoplasty expert is crucial to address candidacy for surgery including your goals. Photos will likely be taken (we always do) and computer imaging performed.

Rhinoplasty advice - what would you change on my nose?
Rhinoplasty
Jun 1, 2023
I would support the nasal tip and rotate it slightly cephalically, deproject the nasal tip, refine the nasal tip, straighten the nose, and remove a hump if present which is not apparent from the photos you provided.

Best to see a rhinoplasty expert in person. We see out of town patients on a regular basis and offer virtual consults as well.

Dorsal irregularity after rhinoplasty
May 30, 2023
Best to follow-up with your surgeon or a revision rhinoplasty expert making sure you don't have an inverted-V deformity, which requires more than just rasping.

Why can’t I smile 6 months post op?
Smile after rhinoplasty
May 30, 2023
By your description, you likely had a caudal septal extension graft placed that can certainly impact smiling. It is indeed unlikely at this point due to the depressor septi muscle. If this is something that bothers you, discuss your options with your surgeon. Nothing went wrong with your surgery and placement of a septal extension graft is critical for nasal tip support and long-term results. A minor revision MIGHT be an option but your surgeon will know best.

Thomas Walker, MD,...

Is a minor revision worth it/necessary?
Imperfection after rhinoplasty
May 25, 2023
There is always a risk of having a new imperfection or residual imperfection. The outcome is greatly dependent on your surgeon's skills and partly on your healing process. Your level of dissatisfaction with your current result should be the driving force whether or not you entertain a revision surgery. Imperfections are normal and to be expected, though, at least to some extent.

Is safe to get fIller in the pyriform aperture region before revision rhinoplasty?
Filler before rhinoplasty
May 25, 2023
I would wait until after surgery. Compromised blood supply is always a concern and nasal tip skin necrosis is a real risk.

Crooked nose after rhinoplasty
May 25, 2023
Hard to tell and don't know how far out you are from surgery. Looks like you have a C-shape deformity. Best to follow-up with your surgeon and follow his or her advice. If still present after 6-9 months, unlikely due to swelling and a revision surgery can then be considered although we generally like waiting a whole year before considering a revision rhinoplasty.

Buccal fat removal or chin filler?
Jawline contouring
May 25, 2023
You have a beautiful face but could consider a buccal fat removal, chin augmentation (filler or implant), and possible Botox or Dysport injections into your masseter muscles. Best to have a consultation in person to assess.

Can I do rhino, lip lift & lower blepharoplasty all in one?
Combo rhinoplasty, lip lift, and lower bleph

The short answer is yes, you generally can assuming you're a candidate for general anesthesia and a candidate for those procedures.

Liquid rhinoplasty
May 24, 2023
Not sure why you want as little surgical intervention as possible especially given that a liquid rhinoplasty doesn't last forever (generally 1 year only) and if you undergo surgery, all issues should be addressed and corrected. A surgery can accomplish many things that a liquid rhino can't. Adding filler to the nose, by definition, makes the nose larger, not smaller. Irregularities can't be smoothened; they just can't be camouflaged. Humps can't be reduced; they can be camouflaged. Surgery...
Would a rhinoplasty help balance my face?
Rhinoplasty candidacy
May 24, 2023
One can't have any thoughts without photos despite your thorough description. If you don't like your nasal appearance and feel like your face is off balance, rhinoplasty is a great option assuming your goals can be met and assuming you are healthy and a good candidate for general anesthesia. Best to schedule a consultation. We offer virtual ones as do many other surgeons.

Raised incision scar - what is going on with my nose?
Raised scar
May 24, 2023
Sorry but the photos are too far away to tell. Always best to follow your surgeons advice and if still concerned get a second opinion in person. This requires an evaluation in the office. Raised scars with skin edge eversion are usually a good thing as scars flatten with time.

Skin on nose after rhinoplasty. Is this normal?
Erythema after rhinoplasty
May 24, 2023
Please follow-up with your surgeon! Skin necrosis after 9 months is extremely unlikely. Would have occurred sooner. An IPL treatment may help. Prolonged erythema, especially if a rib graft was used, is not unusual.
