The short answer is that yes it is possible to rotate your tip and change the contour of the dorsum of your nose without shortening. And there are many plastic surgeons and facial plastic surgeons that can accomplish that goal. One thing that you must keep in mind, however, is that the computer generated imagery is not a guarantee of exactly what you will look like.

No plastic surgeon that I know will give you a guarantee that you will look exactly a certain way and so sometimes the imaging can be a bit unrealistic.If you present to a plastic surgeons office and say that you would like a smoother dorsum, some tip rotation, or more tip projection then your surgeon should be able to accomplish this. On the other hand, if you present to the office and say that you want to look exactly a certain way, then that may be unrealistic and you may be disappointed.

If you can explain to your surgeon what your goals are then your surgeon can tell what is possible, how it will be achieved, and what you can realistically expect as a result.  Best of luck to you! 

Selecting the size of a breast implant is a combination of personal preferences and the shape of your existing chest. In general, you select the size based on how you would like to look. If you select something that physically won't fit, your plastic surgeon will let you know.

One of the easiest ways to select the size is to use one of the sizing system. I think it provides a better assessment than the computer-generated images. It's really quite easy. You bring the size bra that you would like to fit into. You then select a variety of breast implant sizers until you find one that fills the bra and gives you the look that you want. The size is read off of the back of the sizer. It's helpful if you bring a friend to offer you advice.  In our office we give you a room and a full-length mirror and let you spend as much time as you would like selecting the implant that lets you look the way you want to look.  It's a personal decision and I find that people are much happier if they make the choice than if someone else tells them how they should look.

Best of luck to you!

A tummy tuck is designed to remove excess abdominal skin and tighten up the abdominal wall. If you have a tummy tuck and then lose weight, you may develop more redundant skin and the abdominal wall may not be as tight since you will also lose fat inside the abdomen. You will have a much better result If you reach your goal weight before proceeding with surgery.  You do not have to be thin, just a weight that you feel comfortable with. Best of luck to you!

The bulge in your abdomen can be caused by a spreading out the abdominal muscles (called the diastasis) which is a natural result of childbirth.  A diastasis does not typicallyImprove with exercise. It is not an issue of improving your core strength.  It is also possible that you have an umbilical hernia exacerbating the bulge. One of the components of an abdominoplasty is a repair of the abdominal muscles to improve your overall contour. I think you would definitely benefit from a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who can guide you on your best option.Best of luck to you!

This is definitely the kind of question that will require an in-person examination. You can have deformity of your nose following trauma due to displacement of previous graphs, injury to existing cartilage, or fracture of the cartilage. Without an exam there is no way to be certain. Most likely you will require an additional surgery to correct the damage done by the trauma. I would suggest making a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon and allow them to review your previous rhinoplasty and your current condition. Only then will you have a carefully informed opinion and a good plan on how to proceed. Best of luck to you.
