I had a wonderful experience with Dr Funk and his team. I am one month post op from Septo Rhinoplasty and Lower Bleph. I am in love with the results! From my first appointment, Dr. Funk listened to my concerns, explained how they could be addressed, took photos, and showed me what the outcome could look like. I then met with Leah, his patient care coordinator, to discuss pricing and available surgery dates. When I was ready to book I called her and got scheduled. Prior to the surgery I met with Dr Funk and Leah again where I got a detailed care instructions. Dr. Funk also spoke with me the morning before I went back into the OR. I had very little bruising and swelling. 9 days after the surgery I was able to attend a friend’s party with just a little bruising left that I covered with makeup. Overall, the recovery was relatively easy and quick. The shape of nose is exactly what I wanted and what Dr. Funk and I talked about. I wish I would have done this sooner, but I am happy I did it now, and extremely happy I did this with Dr. Funk!
Dr. Funk is a meticulous and precise surgeon who heard my concerns and desires and crafted my new nose to give me an actual nose bridge and narrow my nose to fit my aesthetic. As a black woman with thick skin and an indented nose bridge, 6 months in I’m already loving my nose eventhough I’ve got another year or so to go before the nose tip is fully healed. The results are so natural that even my own family members have no idea that I got anything done. No surprises there though, because I studied his work for years before getting the courage to do the procedure. I’m not fully healed yet but I have to say, my money was well spent. I am very happy with my decision!
I went back and forth on getting a rhinoplasty for years until I did some research and decided to schedule a consult with Dr. Funk. I immediately could tell he and everyone in his office were the best at their work and I felt really comfortable. I decided to schedule my rhino/septoplasty and it was the best decision of my life. I couldn’t have asked for a better end result, and finally feel so happy with the way my nose looks and breathes. It was very crooked prior to surgery and I did not like how it looked, but now it fits my face so perfectly I breathe like a dream. I’ve been told by many friends that it looks natural and doesn’t scream “plastic surgery”. Everyone in the office was very helpful throughout the whole recovery process and made communication easy. I would reccomend this doctor if you are thinking of getting your nose done.
My experience with Dr. Funk was amazing. It went super smooth from the moment of the first appointment with Leah to meeting Dr.Funk we talked about what I was going to get done he showed me before and what would be after the procedure . I said yes , appointment day came along and I was 0% nervous I felt safe the moment I walked back to get my vitals checked to when the anesthesiologist came in . Dr Funk came in and was ready to finally change my life completely:) most people are worried I wasn’t I was excited I felt safe and I knew I was in amazing hands sure enough 3 hours felt like an amazing nap , next thing I was on my way home to rest and recover. My recovery was easy and it went by smoothly no pain small amount of bleeding as long as you follow instructions you will have a successful recovery. Thank you Dr. Funk could not of asked for a better doctor and staff they are amazing as well:) .
The best Dr for rhinoplasty, my result could not be better, I went to Dr Funk for a revision rhinoplasty, I knew it was a difficult surgery but my result exceeded my expectations, I am very grateful to Dr Funk, the process was easy and no pain, It's only been 2 weeks since my surgery and I'm in love with my nose, I have to mention that the Dr also speaks Spanish and it was easier for me to communicate with him in Spanish, thank you Dr Funk for this beautiful nose you made for me!!!
I had an otoplasty and my experience was excellent! The office is very professional and answered all my concerns. I am a young man in a demanding career and was able to work the next Monday from home after a Friday surgery, which was nice. I always felt slightly self-conscious about my ears, especially one that stuck out a bit more and was missing some of the normal folds. However, I was a bit concerned about getting an otoplasty because it felt like it could be a lot of time and trouble to go through the process and it might go wrong. I didn't want my ears pinned completely to the side of my head or end up with a telephone deformity (as I have seen happen to people). Dr. Funk was very helpful in the consultation and he did a great job. I got exactly what I wanted and was able to return to active life quickly! One thing to note: the surgery schedule can sound booked, but if you are flexible you can get a surgery sooner as they will call when availability opens up. I ended up getting the surgery just about a month after my first consultation. I highly recommend Dr. Funk, and his staff were a pleasure to work with as well!
Dr. Funk is extremely knowledgeable! He’s kind, patient, and is invested in getting you the results you’re looking for. He was very thorough during my initial consultation, and continues to answer all my questions at post-op appointments.
Dr. Funk and his team were amazing! I could not have asked for a better surgeon. The only regret is not having this surgery earlier. They were extremely attentive answered any questions if any and walk me through the whole process. If you are having any doubts or still thinking about going through with surgery don’t. You will be extremely pleased and happy with the results.
I chose Dr. Funk to do my rhinoplasty because he came highly recommended. After having my surgery done, I can truly say he is the best. At my consultation he was very thorough with his exam and he made me feel comfortable. He answered any questions that I had. His whole team was amazing and made sure I was taken care of. They explained the process of the surgery and recovery in great detail and made sure I understood everything. I felt completely taken care of the entire time. I could not be happier with the results of my rhinoplasty, it looks even better then I had hoped it would. I highly recommend Dr. Funk.
I can't even begin to express how completely thrilled, satisfied, happy, etc etc etc I am with the entire process, start to finish, that I have had with Dr. Funk and his amazing staff. I had cosmetic and functional rhinoplasty done, including sinus surgery. I have been very insecure about my nose since I was a child. I also have not been able to breathe out of my nose since I was a child (not to mention the frequent, painful sinus infections that have plagued me as well). I cannot believe how amazing Dr. Funk is. I finally have a nose that makes me feel beautiful and confident and I finally can breathe through my nose! I can't believe the flavors and smells that have been dulled my entire life that I now get to experience. Dr. Funk has a gift. His staff is incredible. I could gush on and on. If you've been questioning rhinoplasty at any point in your life, book the consult with him. You will not regret it.
It is difficult to assess your septum based on your photographs, but it does appear that your crooked nose is due mainly to your external nasal cartilaginous framework. Having a previous septoplasty does make things a little more difficult for future rhinoplasty as you may be lacking septal cartilage which is used for grafting during rhinoplasty. Ear cartilage may be necessary to provide the result you desire.
A facelift can be performed on someone who is overweight. It appears that your weight has plateaued for some time now and you are staying healthy with diet and exercise. The overall result of your neck after a facelift or face and neck lift will also greatly depend on your neck anatomy and location of bony/cartilaginous structures. You will likely require significant contouring with liposuction. Seek a facelift specialist for a complete evaluation and treatment plan.
Combining a facelift and rhinoplasty is feasible and something I have performed in the past multiple times. However, it is possible to separate these procedures and it truly does not matter which one comes first. I would recommend you address the aspect of your face that bothers you most (nose or jowls/neck) first. Either way, these are both procedures that will provide you with great satisfaction and enjoyment. I have attached a video of a patient whom I performed both a facelift and rhinoplasty at the same time.
Rhinoplasty or nose job to improve the widened nose is commonly performed. Additional images would help, however, based on your frontal view, it appears you have an ill-defined nasal tip which would benefit from refinement. In addition, dorsal augmentation or building up the bridge of your nose using septal cartilage or ear cartilage would provide a more aesthetic appearance. Seek a rhinoplasty expert for full consultation.
Based on your photographs, it appears you have a widened base of the nose and wide cartilage. You would benefit from bringing in the base of the nose with wedge excisions. This does require incisions on the outside of the nose. However, with proper technique & placement along with meticulous closure, your scars should be nearly invisible. You would also benefit from refinement of your nasal tip and increasing the tip projection (which would also bring in the base).
