Question:
Do you ever perform necklifts on men? What sort of results do they get?
Answer:
Yes, we do perform necklift surgery on men. Men who seek out necklift usually have fullness underneath the chin due to excess fatty tissue as well as neck muscle bands. As well, they have excess skin. Typically, I perform neck liposuction as part of the necklift to further refine the neckline. I treat the neck muscle to further refine the neckline. The incisions for necklift are well hidden behind the ear. Following surgery, I have patients wear a neck wrap for 1 week to allow the skin to re-drape onto the newly sculpted neck tissues.
Question:
I used to smoke and I've just started to notice that I'm getting some awful vertical lines above my lip. Can fillers fix these?
Answer:
Vertical lip lines have a few potential treatment options, depending upon the severity of the lines as well as your skin type and preference. One option is Botox to soften the muscle activity that causes the lines. Another option is filler to fill in specific lines. Finally, one may consider skin resurfacing (chemical peel or laser resurfacing) to achieve a smoother appearance to the skin.
Question:
I had a nose job two years ago. It was to repair a broken nose I had as a child. It looks good except that the bridge is too wide. I didn’t think it was too wide at first but now it seems so. Is a full rhinoplasty required to narrow the bridge?
Answer:
If the wide appearance is due to the nasal bone width, then I reposition the nasal bones with osteotomies. If the width is due to the nostrils, then I use nasal base reduction techniques.
Question:
Are there general things that Hispanic patients want changed about their nose with rhinoplasty?
Answer:
Some of the more common requests I hear from my Hispanic patients who seek rhinoplasty include a desire to refine the appearance of the nasal tip and narrow the nostrils. The nasal tip refinement in Hispanic patients can be a challenge due to the fact that Hispanics typically have thick nasal skin. This thick nasal skin camouflages the cartilage that forms the shape of the nasal tip. In these situations, I may use several options to achieve refinement of the nasal tip, including suturing techniques and tip grafting techniques. Narrowing the wide nostrils is achieved with nasal base reduction techniques.
