I am 5 weeks post rhinoplasty surgery with Dr Jack Zoumaras and I am amazed at the results already. I have wanted surgery since I was a teenager and was quite self conscious about my nose. After lots of research and having a consultation with Dr Zoumaras, I immediately knew that he was the man for the job. He was welcoming, kind and honest about the procedure. The recovery itself for me was a...
I wrote the message below to Dr Zoumaras the day my cast came off. I couldn’t recommend him more and I’m so grateful for what he’s done for me. Dr Jack, I simply don’t have the words to thank you enough - nothing I could ever say feels adequate but I’m going to try anyway.When Ash took my cast off and handed me the mirror, I sobbed the happiest tears I’ve ever cried. I genuinely couldn’t lo...
My experience was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. I’ve had a rhinoplasty done back in January. Not only the results are absolutely amazing and beyond what I could have imagined. But the level of care and passion Dr Zoumaras and his team have displayed over the months before, during and after surgery has made the whole experience a breeze. I cannot but recommend his services. This i...
I recently underwent a life-changing experience with Dr. Zoumaras, and I must say, it couldn't have been any better. From the very beginning, Dr. Zoumaras and his team went above and beyond to make me feel supported and at ease throughout the entire journey. The level of care and consideration they provided was truly exceptional, and I immediately knew I had made the right decision in choosing...
Dr. JZ is so much more than a plastic surgeon, he's a true master of his craft and an exceptional human. Throughout the entire process, I was impressed by his level of care and attention. He listened closely to what I wanted and answered all my many questions to the exact level of scientific detail I needed to feel confident about the procedure. During my recovery, Dr. JZ was always there for...
A: It all comes down to vector and what you are trying to do. In essence a Facelift will lift the lower jawline, cheek and in particular jowl area (just lateral to the lips which inckudes the marionette lines). The only way to lift the anagtomy in thhis area is to approach it from above and the side and subsequently lift it. The physics of this vector means you must place an incision in front of the ear.
An incision behind the ear only allows access to the lateral neck and lower jawline and none of the jowl.
But there is no need to worry about scarring as a goof Facelift surgeon will conceal the incisions in the ear and you will not see anything.
A: This is a great question. We know that Ultrasound energy devices such as Ulthera and Thermage can cause damage and scarring to the SMAS that make a facelift harder. As for RF needling the devices are often only skin deep and maximum penetration 3.5mm. They do not penetrate the deeper layers of the face and as such don't affect Facial surgery.
A: Yes! You can have a Rhinoplasty to reduce the length of the nose and narrow the tip. It is important to note that Rhinoplasty is finesse surgery and all the sturtcures are like a Rubik's cube. If you change one aspect of the nose it affects another. With this in mind a careful Open Rhinoplasty to reduce nasal length, create a nice profile on the dorsum and to lift and narrow the tip is possible with a skilled Rhinoplasty surgeon.
A: Thank you for reaching out and the have the courage to ask the question as the facelift journey is quite the rollercoaster. You may have had a seroma but the main issue now is separation of the wound behind the ear which may have been a factor with seroma. The main cause of this is skin tightness and the skin can undergo some minor necrosis. Don't worry too much about it because with dressings it will heal and the long term result will aesthetically be okay.
Just speak to your surgeon about it for re-assurance.
A: That is a great question.
I would say the photos you uploaded on demonstrate you are healing quickly and you should be okay to perform in mid June. I would premise this with the type of neck lift revision you had. If you had a full neck lift with muscle and gland work I would not allow you to sing for 8-9 weeks.
