How long will it be after my otoplasty surgery before I can wash my hair?
My nose has always had a hook on the end that makes my profile imperfect. Will I have to have work done to my entire nose or can rhinoplasty be focused on one area of the nose?
This is difficult to say without a direct exam. Sometimes this is possible but more often once you change the one area of concern, other areas are out of balance and need to be addressed.
I had a nose job 7 years ago and I've always liked my results but recently my nose seems to have changed. I recently retired to Coral Springs and I'd like to get it fixed. Would this be considered revision rhinoplasty?
Yes. If there has been a previous rhinoplasty all new procedures are considered revisions.
I'm Middle Eastern and I'm looking to get a rhinoplasty to have a softer looking profile. I also have a deviated septum that I would like to have fixed. Can both be done at the same time?
Yes both procedures are commonly done together known as septorhinoplasty.
How do you improve flared or otherwise large nostrils of an African American patient?
Flared nostrils are improved with a technique commonly called alar base resections. These are tailored to each individual to remove the right amount from the right location.
Are fillers effective in treating hollows around the eyes?
Several fillers are very useful around the eyes including hyaluronic acid, platelet rich plasma and fat. While effective and commonly used, this is considered "off label" use of these products.
A friend of mine from Davie recently had injectable fillers in her lips. She was very swollen afterward and when the swelling went down her lips were very uneven. Is there some reason why this happens and what can she do to fix her lips now?
I'm sorry to hear that. There are several options depending on the type of filler used. The first would be to give it a little more time and see if it continues to improve. The second and likely best option is to add more to even out the areas of concern. The last option if a hyaluronic acid filler was used (Juvederm, Restylane) would be to inject small amounts of hyaluronidase which is an enzyme that dissolves the filler.
During a neck lift, what do you do to improve neck banding?
Neck banding is treated by combinations of releasing, tightening and cutting the muscle causing the banding.
Is an overnight stay in the hospital required for children undergoing ear surgery?
Typically not unless the child has some underlying health problem that requires more intense post anesthesia monitoring (heart/lung problems etc).
Do you give steroid injections as a part of your scar revision procedure? If so, does this have any potential for side effects?
Small amounts of kenalog (triamcinolone) are commonly injected into scars to soften and reduce them. There are virtually no side effects to this treatment when used judiciously.
