In General most of your swelling should resolve by three months, fat stability will also be seen at this time, and sensation can take on average 3-6 months in most areas and 6 - 12 months in the area in front of the ears.

Your most lasting treatment option would be a facelift. But other options exist such as thread lifts, RF Skin tightening, Fat Reduction, and certain fillers may be helpful. Consult with an experienced plastic surgeon to learn about the pros and cons of each.

It looks like your surgeon did a MACS type facelift using a purse string type suture for resuspending your cheek tissue. When the face was swollen the underlying irregularities were not obvious. Massage can help, but I would not be too aggressive as you may break the suture before the tissues stabilize, or you may tear the tissue. You may eventually need a revision, fillers, or fat grafting in the area, if it doesn't correct over time.

This is a direct question for your own plastic surgeon as each of us has a different protocol, and that protocol may vary based on what has been done. A simple phone call to their office should clear things up.

The return of these bands can come from a number of reasons. If a platysma plasty in this area needs to be corrected, it can be performed under local anesthesia. However you would want to wait several months to allow the tissue swelling from your first surgery to soften, if the neck was previously dissected. If it wasn't, then you may be able to go back sooner.

These two procedures can be combined. The laser needs to be adjusted for areas that have been undermined and thinner areas. See Jason Posner's answer below. He has done a lot of work and research in this area and has proven it to be safe.

Yes. The best thing you can do is ask your surgeon to hold pressure on your nose for 10 minutes after breaking it in the operating room. I routinely do this and it has resulted in far faster recovery from surgery with minimal bruising and swelling.

I have never seen this specific response in a patient taking accutane. However one of the things accutane does is to shrink oil gland production and thus gland size. The tip of the nose has a high degree of the glands and it may be that the glands in the skin were really big before you started the medication. Now with them smaller you see more of the underlying shape. Some fillers may correct this.

This is called a hanging tip or a plunging tip. It requires rotating the tip cartilages upward and reshaping them. It will probably also require a trim of the lowest part of the septum and long term stabilization with a columella strut. I would consult with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who is familiar with masculine rhinoplasty surgery. Costs vary and return to work with my patients is usually one week. Full healing for most activities is one month and one year for last bits of swelling to go down.

This can have a number of different causes. The most common is a soft or crooked columella. A columella strut may be useful, but you will also have to look and make sure the septum is straight and the alar rim is strong enough. Get a consult with an experienced nose surgeon. This is a complex problem.

So let me start by saying I had gotten my first but implants done in 2010 by Dr. Smith in Las Vegas and they were small and unfortunately I had extra skin below the implant it did not look right so second surgery was with Dr. Smith again asking him to enlarge the implant And he barely did. I guess this was before you could customize the implants in size. So that being said, it looked great when I was bent over, but when I stood straight up, I looked like I had a Grandma butt below the implants and it just did not look good at all. I had zero fat to be able to transfer around the implants itself. So a few years go by and I go to dr grawe in Ohio. She customized my implant size and I was able to get 800 cc everything went well looked great until a year after my surgery. I got really ill and went to the emergency and they realized because I had gotten a x-ray that there was a slight tear in my implant, so I reached out to Dr. grawe and she said she no longer does implants. Realizing why. I have seen so many complaints about her and the sheer heartless manner of the doctor to the patients she worked on. she sad she couldn't help me now So that being said my implant starts tearing and now I'm left with a deformed butt. I've been living with this for four years now because it's just so expensive. I do however have a surgery date for July 16th for my revisions. Updated on 18 Jul 2024: Updated on 18 Jul 2024: He took out my broken implant fixed the pocket and replaced both implants with custom ones. I will let you know the size once I see him today for my follow up. Driving back to San Diego after seeing him. And I have to say this surgery has to be one of the most painful ones to date. Probably due to having to clean my out of the broken implant and reconstructing my pockets to match. I’m thankful to dr k. for helping me since dr grawe didn’t when I told her that my implants broke only a yr after and she was the one that placed them in my body. Dr k said that the type of implants that were used are bad and known to break easily. Aart brand implants he does not recommend and said that when he took out the side that wasn’t split it crumbled in his hand. So be sure to ask your docs which brand they use before having them put into your body. I would have for anyone to go through this due to faulty products.
I am absolutely in love with Dr. Khorsandi's work! I've been seeing Dr. K for almost a decade now and he continues to keep me overly pleased with every single procedure he's done for me. His knowledge, skill, and bedside manor are incomparable. I'm beyond ecstatic I found him by evaluating days of reviews and pictures from this site. From my very first consult, to now, every time I step into his office, he has been nothing short of amazing. I am so grateful for the transformation he has gotten me through. I couldn't be happier than I am now with the end results. I am genuinely thankful for the years of care he and his office has given me. Updated on 25 Nov 2021: Hey y'all, I wasn't planning on writing a review, but thought I would to help anyone looking on getting either of these procedures done; so you can see and compare your healing process. Overall the recovery was pretty easy. Lots of tylenol, Netflix and sleep (elevated on a wedge pillow). My face swelled up pretty bad, but by week two, it wasn't so bad. I'd definitely recommend taking two to three weeks offa work to fully heal- from the eyebrow lift that is-the lip lift I felt fine almost immediately, no pain, and minimal swelling. I'm two weeks out now and I feel almost back to normal. My face is tight and I can't really move my top lip yet but in time I'll feel even better. I already love the results. Dr. Khorsandi is amazing! Updated on 30 Nov 2021: Hey guys, I'm about three weeks out from my eyebrow and lip lift. I just put on eye makeup for the first time post op. My orbital bone is still a little sensitive. I can't move my eyebrows just yet, and my top lip is still pretty stiff. I also can't open my jaw all the way yet, but I just gotta be patient. In time everything will heal. I haven't worn face make up or straightened my hair yet, but I plan to this Friday; so I'll post another pic then. Updated on 3 Dec 2021: Hey guys, tonight is my first night back to work. I'm wearing face makeup for the first time post op. Definitely gotta keep the incisions moisturized well so the powder can go on okay without being too peely. Told y'all I'd post more pics so here's a couple. Updated on 8 Dec 2021: Hi guys, I reached the one month post op mark. Each week everything heals more and more. My face is still tight but I can somewhat move my eyebrows and my top lip isn't stiff anymore. I'm going to be getting prp on the area's where I had staples in my scalp to help regrow the hair in that area soon. I'll document how that goes as well. Updated on 28 Jan 2022: Heyyy guys, I said I would document how my prp treatments are going; So I'm about one month out from my first treatment to the area where the staples were from my brow lift. I have baby hairs growing back. I get my second prp treatment in three days. I'm pretty confident that it'll help my hair grow pretty much fully back in those areas. I'm almost three months out from my brow and lip lift. I feel back to normal with the exception of my scalp still being numb which is normal. It takes about 6 to 12 months to gain feeling back. Updated on 1 Jun 2022: Hey you all! I'm a little over seven months post op. Most final results you can pretty much see at the 6 month time mark. Everything's moving and looking good. No stiffness at all and I'm finally slowly gaining feeling back in my scalp. The incision around my nose did kinda stretch a little so I'm going in once a month for fraxel treatments around that scar to fix it up. I'm also still doing my prp treatments to where the incision was in my scalp. You can see my baby hairs growing around my hairline now. Pics posted :)
I figured to leave a good review on here. Because the Doctor is cool & does a good job for real. I was skeptic & scared at first due to lack of 'before & after' photos on the site or any videos, but thankfully, he really is good.I'm 5'3, 114 pounds. I had a minimal fat on my stomach that you could see mainly just when I sat down which is natural but I wanted to get rid of it anyway & Pubic area lift because after 10 pounds of Quarantine 2020 weight loss, that FUPA was just not going away. Dr. Khorsandi did a good job. The scar looked pretty scary at first but in 1 month it just turned into a thin pink line that will eventually fade.I read reviews that people complained that he seemed not very carrying, I must disagree, He's very caring. They are just really busy & have to take patients fast. So with FUPA lift... be prepared to have a brutal discomfort for the first 3-4 days. No pain really, just extreme discomfort, weird unpleasant sensations & slow careful walking. It gets better every 7 days I noticed.Anesthesiologist doctor was really cool too. I had panic attacks before the procedure from being afraid but everything went very well. It felt like I slept for 20 minutes when in reality it was about 2-3 hours. Prices at VIP are better than in stupid LA too. California is obnoxious with pricing! Overall, I really recommend VIP! You will not be disappointed.
Doctor Khorsandi is extremely professional and straight to the point . He doesn't promise false results like other doctors . He is realistic, honest, and doesn't waste time. He has done an amazing job on my nose, breasts, and recently lipo. My first Brazilian butt lift was with another doctor and I had extremely minimal results . With Dr.Khorsandi right after surgery I saw amazing results! Many doctors rejected me for another bbl because "I didn't have enough fat" however that wasn't the case with this doctor. He took time to listen and knew exactly what I wanted with each procedure. My nose was my biggest insecurity, it never looked like it belonged to my face. It's been over a year since my nose job and I have a nose that looks like I was born with it! I did not want to write a review because I wanted anonymity. I was compelled to type because I have so much appreciation for his work. Especially after this last surgery, I never thought I could be so sculpted! Doctor Khorsandi is a literal artist! The staff at VIP plastic surgery are amazing. They're extremely sweet and helpful. I had a lot of questions and they were able to answer all of them. I'm so glad I found a place that I can come for all my procedures.
I saw Dr. Khorsandi on Nov.6, 2020 he did an amazing job I had a dip in my nose bridge and he corrected it for me I'm very happy with my results. He was super nice and took me back in a reasonable amount of time. I'll be going back to him for all my cosmetic procedures
I was so nervous about filler in my nasolabial . Previous to Dr Khorsandi from VIP Plastic surgery in Las Vegas , I had a nurse practitioner inject and because she did not use the correct product and because she went too superficial I had unevenness and was very distressed about it. I interviewed several other providers to try and see how to correct and each provider , ( several other plastic surgeons, cosmetic family doctor , nurses with years of experience ) had several different opinions. One recommended surgery!NO ONE EXCEPT DR KHORSANDI KNEW HOW TO FIX IT! Not only did he solve my problem, and explain how and why, he used a dental block and there was no pain. The problem Was I was unevenly filled and Dr K has to inject more filler deep into the bone to even out the nasolabial. I laughingly named Dr K - “magic hands” I won’t ever go to anyone else for my skin or face. I am extremely happy and highly recommend him. When I asked him about other potential filler in my face he quickly said “ you don’t need it.” I appreciate his honestly , skill, professionalism. Best injector ever. His staff was also amazing and knowledgeable . His medical assistant Melanie was amazing and made me feel very comfortable. 5 Stars!
I highly recommend Dr. Khorsandi, and I understand why he received so many awards! The office is pristine, and the receptionists are professional, knowledgeable, and kind. My first impression of Dr. Khorsandi was that he is very warm and intelligent with an excellent bedside manner. He listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions. He is skilled beyond measure, and I feel incredibly comfortable in his care. I will definitely go back for future treatments!
I was hesitant to get anything done to my face but Dr. Khorsandi and his professional staff put me at ease as soon as I started my consultation. I wanted to get my lips “done” and give it a more fuller look. He explained the procedure in detail and reassured me that I will look natural after he is done. Boy, was he right! I absolutely LOVE my lips! They look fabulous! I love the shape of them and how even they look. If anyone is scared or hesitant to change their look like I was, I recommend that you give Dr. Khorsandi a chance to make you look and feel beautiful, yet still natural.
I can't praise VIP Surgery more. From their amazing receptionist Judith to Dr. Khorsandi. He is a phenomenal surgeon that truly cares for his patients. I came in unhappy with my profile & the shape of my broken nose. I wanted a natural beautiful outcome, nothing that stood out. He was kind, understanding & knowledgeable. He took the time to walk me through the procedure & the post-op. Surgery went great, he came prior to it to check on me & made me feel comfortable & safe. Everything happened as he had explained it would post-op. The final results are beyond my expectations! I couldn't be happier. My friends & family are amazed at how natural it all looks. I love that I still look like myself with some enhancements. I highly recommend him & his staff! He is a master of his craft!! Thank you so much! Treatment: Rhinoplasty & Septoplasty
Dr. Khorsandi helped me remove a keloid (scar tissue) that had lingered from a previous procedure done by a different doctor when I had to remove a lipoma from my forehead. I was anxious about getting surgery done again and seeing a new doctor, but he advised that it wasn’t necessary and that all I needed was some medication to be injected into my forehead scar. He made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process and went out of his way to ensure I understood my options and what to expect during and after the procedure.The staff was very helpful and professional, and I had such a positive experience overall. I would highly recommend Dr. Korsandi to anyone.
