How long does a blepharoplasty last?
Many things that a blepharoplasty accomplishes last indefinitely. The fat which is removed does not grow back. The excess skin which is removed does not grow back. Therefore a person will always look better for having had a blepharoplasty despite the aging process. However while the skin and fat which was removed does not grow back the brows descend with age which creates the appearance that some of the upper lid skin is recurring. Similarly the skin of the lower eyelids ages loses elastic fibers and collagen and wrinkles with time. Therefore as one ages The eyelids will also appear older. This however is not the surgery wearing off but the process of aging going on. READ MORE
Will an otoplasty affect my ability to hear?

If my nose surgery goes wrong, can It be corrected?
Revision surgery after primary rhinoplasty is unfortunately quite common. Many things can be changed after a rhinoplasty if a patient is unhappy with the result. However it is always easier to take away than to add back. Also because of scar tissue revision surgery can take longer and be somewhat less predictable. Some things cannot be made to order. A person with a very bulbous tip and extremely thick skin has a more limited result than someone with average to thinner skin of the tip area. Extremely crooked noses cannot always be made perfectly straight and though much better than before may require minor secondary procedures to fill in A small concavity. The first shot is usually always the best shot at getting the desired result. But revisions if necessary can be done. READ MORE
