Steroid Injections for Thick Skin in Revision Rhinoplasty

One of my revision rhinoplasty patients from San Diego was seen in follow-up evaluation today, which reminded me to post a quick note on thick skinned patients undergoing revision rhinoplasty. This particular patient had undergone three previous rhinoplasty surgeries performed by three different plastic surgeons. Her main issue was a lack of definition along the bridge and tip as well as a persistent bump seen on her lateral view. Her last plastic surgeon told her... Continue Reading

Skype for Rhinoplasty Consultations!

An online inquiry just today reminded me to post a blog about Skype for rhinoplasty consultations. We have an increasing number of patients from out of town requesting virtual consultations for rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty. As I tell my patients, there is really no substitute for an in-office rhinoplasty consultation where we can sit down in private and perform digital imaging of the nose. However, for those patients seeking rhinoplasty who hail from out of... Continue Reading

Case Example of Hanging Columella Revision Rhinoplasty

I recently saw one of my postoperative revision rhinoplasty patients in follow-up and it reminded me of several discussions that have taken place online regarding a hanging columella. This particular patient had prior rhinoplasty surgery by another plastic surgeon. One of her remaining concerns following surgery was the position and shape of her columella. The columella refers to the column of soft tissue and cartilage that divides the two nostrils. In her particular case, it... Continue Reading

Facelift Technique Update

I often times get asked what type of facelift technique do I prefer to do on my patients. The answer to this is – it depends on the type of facial anatomy that I am presented with and the desired change. Essentially any facelift procedure done today involves some type of lifting of the SMAS layer (also known as the superficial musculo-aponeurotic sytem). This is the thicker fibrous layer of tissue that sits below the... Continue Reading

Within the first 72-96 hours your eyes will swell and might even bruise. We always recommend ice compresses (or Karo syrup bags) to the eyes during this period to minimize swelling and discoloration. Within 5-6 days, I will see you... Continue Reading
