How can I change my nose shape?
In today's day and age, there are many options to change your nose shape. The most important issue is to have an educated discussion with your surgeon who can accurately define and address your concerns. Further, one who is open to other techniques and also knows their comfort zone. An adept surgeon, not only knows their skillset but also has colleagues to refer based on need. The least invasive technique to change nasal shape is with filler. Yes, I have done this in patients who do not wish surgery and have deformities that can be balanced with strategically placed filler. This may not be the permanent solution but is acceptable to the patient and safe. I've had patients return after 5 years stating that the filler lasted that long. It depends on the patient's protoplasm. The final key point to understand about the nose is that it is a functional structure. This means that it conditions air that we breathe as a first line defense to our air intake. Interventions to change nasal shape should not encroach the basic function of the nose. This may seem logical, but many times to deliver a result to a patient, the function of the nose is compromised. Hence, yes, the nose has a key aesthetic feature to our face. However, it serves a major function to our respiratory system as well. READ MORE
Is ear plastic surgery permanent?
This is a great question that depends, like most things, on the correction of ear deformity. If you are alluding to the standard "otoplasty" otherwise known as "ear pinning", the correction or result is permanent. Now, please let me state on a side note, as permanent as we are as living, and breathing human beings who change over time. But, it is a long-lasting procedure. READ MORE
How can I maintain the results of my plastic surgery?
Congratulations on your facelift. It's an exciting time but maintenance is important. First, try to avoid significant weight fluctuations since the skin may not respond as you had hoped. Second, continue with a skin care regimen that works for your age and skin type. This includes an effective sunscreen and possible regular visits to the aesthetician. Finally, good nutrition, hydration and exercise habits shines on your new mug. Thank you for your great question and Blessings! READ MORE
