What Kind of Stitches Are Used in Rhinoplasty?

Do they dissolve or are they taken out? Do I have a choice? My friend had rhinoplasty last month and she had 16 stitches. She said getting the stitches removed was more painful than the surgery.

A: Sutures used in Rhinoplasty Procedures

Typically two types are used depending on the saurgical technique. Permanent or dissolvable sutures can be used. Typically most rhinplasty is performed with long term absorbable sutures which dissappear over 6 months. By that time all the tiisue has healed in position and the suture is no longer needed. There are occasions where we will use a permanent suture for more long term security. Hope this was helpful.

Are Implants Ok to Get for Someone Who is 24 Years of Age?

I am 24 years old. I am now a 34B i have wonderful curves and backside, however I am not happy with my breast size. Is there anything that i can do to increase my breast size without surgery?.. if so would the side effects be dangerous?

A: Age for implants

Generally this is the age most patients have breast augmentation with implants. There are some surgeons increasing breast size with fat transfer to the breasts but this is not done that commonly. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.

Do I Need a Lift 7 Months Post Implants? (photo)

Hello: I had a primary breast augmentation in July - 500cc smooth silicone under the muscle through the areola. Developed capsular contracture in my left breast and my right has dropped below the point where I liked it. I am also attaching a picture from before anything was done to me. I want both my breasts to look like my right did at 2 months after the surgery (refer to picture). Any way to achieve that without doing a lift? Why did the right drop so much if it wasn't droopy before? Thanks!

A: Post augmentation issues

You probably need an acellular derma matrix on both breast. On the right side for internal support and on the left side to help prevent recurrent capsule. A mastopexy may also be needed depending on how things look with the matrix in place. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.
