What type of nose do i have? what causes it to be in this shape? What has to be done for it to become straight? Thanks
If you're referring to the slightly low root of the nose and the small bump on top of the nose, a conventional rhinoplasty procedure will improve or correct these features.
So apparently I have thin skin and it is showing imperfections on the tip of my nose. Is there a way to thicken the skin on the nose, I really would like to avoid having a revision if possible.
In agreement with my esteemed colleague from Baltimore, Dr. Schuster, my routine is the careful distribution of Juvederm, Perlane, or Radiesse around visible angular prominences to soften their appearance. This permits incremental changes, and avoids surgery, provided your desired correction is achieved.
I live out of province from where i'm traveling to have my rhinoplasty done (24 hour drive). Is it a big deal to have the surgery, drive home, and have another surgeon in my home town do my post op (take off cast, make sure everything's ok)? Gets very expensive otherwise.
My advice: Be sure the surgeon in your hometown agrees in advance. If that surgeon does rhinoplasty but you are going elsewhere, which is certainly your right, it's a real slap in the face to your hometown surgeon to do the post surgical care from someone else's operation. What if there's a problem? Your hometown surgeon, in general, having not performed the procedure, will likely not be inclined to manage such a situation with the same enthusiasm had he or she been your surgeon from the start. Even if he or she is a Saint, your hometown surgeon will not know exactly what was done, and this handicaps the post surgical care.
The surgeon you're traveling to should want to follow you closely enough to be the one who removes the splint and sees the result anyway. Definitely follow your operating surgeon's advice, if nothing else.
I ask my out of town rhinoplasty patients to stay for at least a week near my office on relaxing vacation.
Just my opinion.
