Lower face lift/temporal brow lift

I had a double hanging waddle under my neck that I despised -and spent most of 2020/2021 staring at thanks to Zoom. I finally got the money bd courage to get it done. The surgeons I consulted with all suggested a temporal brow lift as I have a heavy forehead. I was super worried about Not looking like myself, or looking like I've had work done but I finally decided to go ahead. I am only 2 1/2...

What I appreciate most is that there are no visible stitches

Love the results! I noticed others (like celebrities) with similar procedures often had visible stitches. What I appreciate most is that there are no visible stitches and I enjoy the outcome every day.

I Would Do This Twenty Times over Again for the Results. This Has Changed my Life

I had a revision rhinoplasty in September after years of research and consulting with many ENT's. There was major obstruction to my nasal airway and I couldn't breathe out of the lest side of my nose. It was causing restless nights, bloody noses, overall lack of confidence, it was really interfering with my life. At first, I went to the ENT and I had a septoplasty and they inserted nasal...

Q: Can I achieve my desired look with a rhinoplasty alone? (photos)
Answered by Dr. SmithSeptember 8, 2023

A: Based on the images you provided, it does look like the changes you made to the bridge and tip of your nose would be very reasonable. When choosing a surgeon, I encourage you to find a facial plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty and someone who shares your aesthetic goals! Bringing these photos to your appointment will help describe your goals to whoever you choose to see.

Q: Will there be any long term effects if I drink alcohol after rhinoplasty?
Answered by Dr. SmithSeptember 8, 2023

A: Alcohol will not negatively affect your rhinoplasty results, but I recommend drinking in moderation!

Q: Is 61 years old too old for a rhinoplasty?
Answered by Dr. SmithAugust 25, 2023

A: At our practice, we evaluate every patient on an individual basis for the appropriateness of a rhinoplasty, regardless of age! I recommend you make an appointment with a facial plastic surgeon who can evaluate your nose in person and help you determine if the procedure is right for you.

Q: Will using Botox for glabellar lines lead to smoother skin and less product usage over time?
Answered by Dr. SmithJune 29, 2023

A: The use of neuromodulators such as Botox may lead to improvement in static and dynamic lines of the glabella due to weakening or decreased muscle movement. Some studies have suggested the rare possibility of decreased movement even when the neuromodulators have worn off. It is advised you discuss this with your treating provider.

Q: Should I try Botox over Dysport? (photos)
Answered by Dr. SmithMay 24, 2023

A: There are several different neuromodulators available for use to achieve improvement in the dynamic wrinkles of the face. Some patients have better reported outcomes with a particular brand, therefore it is reasonable to try a different brand of neuromodulator to assess how you respond. Be sure to discuss with your treating provider on different brands that they carry and have experience with.
