QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Why is my eye closing when I raise my eye brow? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Your eye closing when raising your brow is likely due to nerve miscommunication between the trigeminal (CN V) and facial nerve (CN VII) after surgery. This can often be improved with targeted treatment. Recommended Treatment: Neuromuscular retraining to restore normal movement. Targeted Botox (temporary use) to reduce misfiring signals. Nerve block test to assess potential for nerve resetting. Desensitization therapy to regulate nerve activity. Surgical revision (if needed) to relieve excess tension. Next Steps: Consult a oculoplastic surgeon for evaluation. Starting with therapy and Botox is recommended before considering surgery. With the right approach, improvement is highly likely. Hope this helps. Dr. Bukret, from Argentina

Would temporal lift fix my issue with sad eyes? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hello Plucky786813, Thank you for sharing your concerns following your eyelid surgery. Based on your description, here are a couple of considerations that might help: Brow Shape and Position: Since your brows have a horizontal alignment, and lifting the outer aspect of your brow gives you a more youthful appearance and reduces the sad look, a minimally invasive endoscopic upper face lift could be beneficial. This procedure can elevate the lateral brow, improving your overall expression. Upper Eyelid Concerns: The hollowness in your upper eyelid, especially on the inner side of the right eye, can often be addressed by releasing any scar tissue and using microfat grafting. This involves injecting small amounts of fat into the area through a small incision to smooth out the hollow appearance. Botox can be used as an alternative or complement to address mild asymmetry or to temporarily improve the appearance, but it may not be sufficient for more significant changes. It might also be helpful to schedule a consultation to evaluate your specific situation more closely and discuss the most suitable treatment options. I hope this helps clarify your options. Kind regards, Dr Bukret, from Buenos Aires, Argentina

Does outfracture of the inferior turbinates make the nose look wider?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Response: Hello Inventive864500! Outfracture of the inferior turbinates does not alter the external appearance of the nose. The external nasal width is primarily influenced by the ascending part of the maxillary bone, not the position or treatment of the turbinates. The procedure typically focuses on improving airflow and nasal function without affecting the external nasal dimensions. Warm regards, Dr. Bukret, Argentina

Will I need a rhinoplasty to correct my nose? Can a plastic surgeon help? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Dear Jeanie, Congratulations on having the courage to share your concerns. It's an important step towards finding the right solution for you. Based on the information provided, it sounds like you have some specific issues that need to be addressed: 1 Consultation with a Plastic Surgeon: Given your beautiful face and strong bone and cartilage structure, you appear to be an ideal candidate for rhinoplasty to improve the shape and address any concerns you have. 2 Pre-filler Photos are Helpful: Having pre-filler photos can assist in determining the extent and location of any remaining filler. This can be valuable information for your surgeon. 3 Common Issues such as a Bulbous Tip, High Dorsum, or Nasal Deviation: These can all potentially be corrected with rhinoplasty, improving the overall appearance and function of your nose. Regarding your specific concern about the filler: Persistent Filler: It is possible that some fillers can be stubborn and may require multiple treatments to dissolve completely. Hyaluronidase is typically used to dissolve hyaluronic acid fillers, but the response can vary. If you are experiencing unusual symptoms such as prolonged redness, swelling, or other changes, it might indicate tissue inflammation. Given the persistence of the filler despite multiple dissolution attempts, I recommend seeing a specialist, preferably a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in filler treatments. They can assess your situation more thoroughly, examine the photos, and provide the most appropriate course of action. I hope this helps, and I encourage you to seek professional advice to ensure your safety and satisfaction with your treatment. Best regards, Dr. Bukret, Argentina

Risks of epinephrine injections to the nose during rhinoplasty

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Certainly, while complications such as temporary or permanent vision loss resulting from injections during rhinoplasty are rare, it's still vital for patients and healthcare providers to prioritize safety and awareness. Experienced surgeons typically employ precise techniques to minimize risks, and occurrences of such complications are indeed infrequent. Patients can take reassurance in the fact that adverse events like vision loss are highly unlikely, especially when procedures are performed by qualified and experienced professionals. However, even with the low likelihood of complications, thorough preoperative discussions should occur between patients and surgeons, covering potential risks and ensuring informed decision-making. Continuous vigilance during and after the procedure, along with prompt recognition and management of any complications, further enhance safety. By prioritizing safety and maintaining open communication, patients can approach rhinoplasty procedures with confidence in their healthcare team's ability to minimize risks and ensure optimal outcomes. Kind regards, Dr Bukret

Facelift or midface lift at 27? (Photos)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hi Emily, Given your age and the specific concerns you've outlined about saggy skin and severe nasolabial folds, a traditional facelift might not be the most appropriate first step, especially considering your comprehensive skincare regimen and healthy lifestyle. However, targeted procedures like a MECA facelift, upper blepharoplasty, and fat grafting for tear trough deformity could provide the enhancements you're seeking. Here’s how these might benefit you: 1 MECA Facelift: This specialized facelift technique uses endoscopy to lift and reposition the tissues of the midface delicately, effectively addressing sagging and rejuvenating the area around the cheeks and nasolabial folds. It is less invasive than traditional facelifts and is well-suited for younger patients who don't need extensive corrections. Importantly, any resulting scars will be hidden within the scalp, not on the cheeks. 2 Upper Blepharoplasty: This procedure could be beneficial in reducing excess skin that may be hiding your upper eyelids, contributing to a refreshed and more youthful appearance. It tightens the skin and can remove or reposition fat pads that often contribute to a tired look. 3 Fat Grafting for Tear Trough Deformity: This involves harvesting fat from another part of your body and injecting it into the under-eye area. It can effectively fill in hollows, reducing the shadowed look of tear troughs and further enhancing the youthful appearance of your face. Your healthy lifestyle and diligent skincare routine are excellent and will support the healing process post-surgery. We hope this guide provides valuable insights for your rejuvenation journey and proves beneficial to the wider community. Best wishes on your path to a youthful appearance. Kind regards, Dr Bukret

Recommendations on how to look more youthful? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Based on your description of facial fat loss and your desire for long-lasting rejuvenation, a combination of a MECA facelift and fat grafting, along with tarsoplasty for the upper eyelids, could be effective solutions to help restore a more youthful appearance. Here's how these procedures could benefit you: 1. MECA Facelift: This procedure tightens the skin and underlying muscles of the face and neck to reduce sagging and improve the overall contour of the face. A MECA facelift can significantly rejuvenate your appearance and the results are typically long-lasting, often ranging from 10 to 15 years. 2. Fat Grafting: This involves taking fat from another part of your body (such as the abdomen or thighs) and injecting it into areas of the face that have lost volume. The results of fat grafting can be long-lasting, though it should be noted that up to 50% of the transferred fat may be completely reabsorbed. In cases where the fat successfully integrates with the facial tissues, the results can potentially become permanent. 3. Tarsoplasty in Upper Eyelids: This specific type of eyelid surgery addresses hollowness and sagging in the upper eyelids by removing excess skin and repositioning the upper eyelids' levator muscle. It can make the eyes look more open and alert, significantly contributing to a younger appearance. The results from eyelid surgery are long-lasting, typically enduring for 10 years or more, depending on individual factors. We trust this guide offers valuable insights for your rejuvenation journey and proves beneficial to the wider community. Wishing you the best on your journey towards a rejuvenated appearance. King regards, Dr Bukret

Can I get a nose and smile like Natalie Portman?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Thank you for sharing your concerns and expectations. It's completely natural to admire features of celebrities like Natalie Portman and wonder about achieving a similar appearance. However, maintaining realistic expectations is crucial when considering cosmetic changes. Every individual’s facial structure is unique; what suits one person may not necessarily suit another. It's easy to fall into the trap of adhering to stereotypical beauty ideals, which can ultimately be more harmful than beneficial. Instead of trying to replicate someone else's features, focus on enhancing your own natural beauty and fostering self-knowledge and acceptance before undergoing surgery. When it comes to achieving a nose similar to Natalie Portman's, cosmetic procedures like rhinoplasty can modify the shape and size of your nose to better complement your face. It’s essential to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your facial structure and provide realistic expectations of what can be achieved. They can use digital imaging to show you potential outcomes based on your specific anatomy. Based on my initial impression, it seems your skin might be thicker and the alar base wider, which means that achieving a nose exactly like Natalie's could be challenging. Adapting another person's smile is even more challenging, as a smile is influenced by many factors, including the shape of the mouth, the alignment of the teeth, and the movement of facial muscles. While dental treatments and orthodontics can make improvements, they won't replicate another person's smile exactly. The first step is to work on self-acceptance, recognizing that your beauty is unique, and to avoid trying to mimic someone else's appearance. It's also wise to screen for body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) with a mental health professional to prevent the mistake of undergoing ill-advised surgeries. Screening for BDD can often be done quickly online and is a crucial step before considering any cosmetic procedures. After this, have an honest discussion with an experienced plastic surgeon about your expectations. Remember, revision surgeries are typically more complicated than the initial procedure, and the complexity increases with each subsequent surgery. Body dysmorphic disorder is a serious condition that should always be considered. Early treatment is important due to the potential for worsening over time and the presence of associated comorbidities. I hope this response helps you and others who are struggling with concerns about physical appearance. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. I truly hope this information helps you and others in similar situations. Remember, it's important to appreciate your unique qualities and approach any changes with careful thought and professional guidance. Take care and best wishes on your journey toward self-acceptance and possibly transformation. Kind regards, Dr Bukret from Argentina

Local Anesthesia Toxicity?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
It is indeed possible to perform a facelift using local anesthesia combined with oral sedation, such as Xanax. This technique involves local sedation, nerve blocks, and the use of a tumescent solution to minimize the required dosage of local anesthesia. This approach has been practiced for a long time, dating back to 1900. However, it can cause significant discomfort for the patient and is generally not recommended, particularly if performed in a non-hospital setting without intensive care facilities on site. Furthermore, this method is less advisable for high-risk patients, such as those over 65 years old, overweight individuals, smokers, or those with chronic illnesses. The concerns raised about toxic dosages of local anesthesia and the lack of vital signs monitoring during surgery are valid. Inadequate monitoring can lead to unforeseen complications, making the procedure riskier. Therefore, it's crucial to assess the risks thoroughly before deciding on this type of surgery. Completing a risk assessment form, which can often be done from home in about five minutes, is a helpful must-do first step. Being informed about potential risks and actively working to prevent them is not only your right but also your responsibility.

Am I an ideal candidate for a BBL? 22 y/o, 4'11 (photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Hello,
I would like to advise you that, based on your high BMI, which is in proximity to the obesity range, it is recommended that you undergo an evaluation to determine your eligibility for the procedure. It is vital to acknowledge that having a high BMI can elevate the risk of complications during and after surgery. Thus, it is advisable to consider weight loss prior to any cosmetic procedures to reduce potential risks.
Hope this help!
Kind regards,

Four weeks later I looked 20 years younger

I highly recommend Dr. Bukret! I discovered him in an online search and saw many positive reviews. I was very nervous about having facial plastic surgery. But when I visited his office he spent a long time explaining the process in great detail -- what would be done, how long it would take to recover, how I could expect to look afterwards. To my amazement, there was no pain! And four weeks later I looked 20 years younger. Dr. Bukret stayed in touch with me, reaching out on WhatsApp and even visiting my apartment once to check on my progress. He's the best! (And he speaks perfect English).

Very thoughtful and carefully planned the procedure

I had a revision rhinoplasty after much thought, some 25+ from the original one. Super happy with the natural results. The doctor is very thoughtful and carefully planned the procedure. Also his skills are outstanding. This was a procedure that, in the past, a few other top notch doctors said they wouldn't do or take the risk.

So Happy with Dr. Bukrets Work! - Buenos Aires, AR

I chose to wait 3 months until I wrote this review to give my nose a decent amount of time to heal and for the swelling to subside. I know it won't be fully healed for a few more months still but up to now im so happy with the results so Im sure a few more months from now i'll be even happier! Dr. Bukret was amazing throughout the whole process. I live in Arizona so communication was key for me and I really needed someone who could really understand what it was that i wanted, because flying across country isnt easy. He did not once waste any of mine or his time, he listened to exactly what I wanted and made it happen. If he was ever unsure he asked questions and above all made sure I understood what could and could not be done. There were no false expectations during any of my process which makes me confident in saying that Dr. Bukret is an excellent surgeon. He has a very delicate and precise demeanor and made me feel at ease through it all. My nose is BEAUTIFUL now, I have no complaints and am so happy I went through with it and found an amazing doctor. I highly recommend him. I'll try and get some before and after pictures up as well. And for anyone with any questions regarding any of my process feel free to email me with any questions.

My right ear is lower than the left ear, terrible! My upper eyelids are more sagging after surgery than before and they are totally unequal.
