Thank you for your question; yes, in certain cases an isolated neck lift may be performed in a patient which would limit scars in certain locations (back of the ear, under the chin). It always depends on a patient's anatomy and there is a possibility of some effect of tightening to nearby regions such as as the jawline.. 

I have seen multiple surgeons, all of which say different things. I’ve been told you cannot have a neckline without doing the lower face is this true?

Can you have an isolated neck lift without a lower face lift?

Neck Lift

Thank you for your question. Dripping from the nose after rhinoplasty may be due to factors related and unrelated to having nasal surgery. There may be options to try to decrease this finding and also requires an examination of the nose. Revision rhinoplasty is performed for changing the nasal tip as well depending on one's goals... 

After rhino 8 months ago my nose wont stop dripping. It’s been social embarrassing. If I’m eating it drips extra, resulting in me not eating out anymore. Also, I asked only for the nose to get closer to my face. The surgeon said I had to large nosestrils and to wide nose. He changed it much and it is now very thinand not straight. But mostly it is the pointy tip that’s bothering me. Is the dripping and tip something to do about? ( also convinced me chin implant! Big regret )

Dripping nose 8 months after rhinoplasty. Is there anything I can do about it?

Rhinoplasty

Thank you for your question. Breathing changes that occur after rhinoplasty may be due to a variety of causes including blockage on the inside of the nose. It is key to have your rhinoplasty surgeon do an examination of the inside portion of the nose on both sides to determine potential causes.. 

I had a rhinoplasty in July of 2023. It went great, swelling gone very quickly. I did notice after my breathing became more normal, that my right nostril doesn’t suck as much air as my left. When I’m in bed laying on my right side, I can’t breathe through my nose well. But on my left side I can slowly feel my right nostril open up and I can breathe evenly through both nostrils. Also when I take the tissue under my eyes and pull out towards my ears, I can breathe evenly.

Thank you for your question. In cases when the skin appears thicker I would want to know some of the original goals of the rhinoplasty and understand those aspects before moving forward with any additional treatment .. 

I’m a nearly 30 year old Caucasian female. Exactly a year ago, I had a rhinoplasty . Though the side profile has improved, my nose is now THICKER from the front angle than it was before. And the tip is still bulbous. My surgeon did a lipodissolve shot, but that hasn’t made it less thick &amp; bulbous. What to do?

Tip still very bulbous one year post rhino - what can I do?

Revision Rhinoplasty

Thank you for your question. Breathing function with or without prior surgery can involve aspects of the nose on the inside and outside.  It will be important to have your rhinoplasty surgeon examine the inside of the nose for any potential cause of obstruction as well as the outside 'visible' portion of the nose as well to determine a plan..

I'm am approx 2 years post septorhinoplasty, and the middle region of my nose seems to collapse inward, making it difficult to breathe. If I push these areas out and hold them there, I can breathe a lot better. My surgeon has stated that my septum has redeviated to my left and that he can straighten it, but he does not believe that I have breathing issues on both sides. To me, it feels like there is insufficient side support. Does this look like valve collapse (both sides) or other?

Easy Surgery and Amazing Caring Dr and Staff

I am extremely happy with the results of my revision rhinoplasty. I only have one regret- and that is that I didn't use him the first time. Let me explain.... 
 
In January of 2023, I was in a ski accident where I broke my nose (very small break, but noticeable to me). I always had a deviated septum as well, I just never did anything about it. That being said, I decided to have my nose fixed from the break, as well as a septoplasty. I met with quite a few doctors, Dr Lin being one of them. I so regret not going with him in the first place! The only reason I didn't was that I was desperate to get it fixed, and to get it done when it was most convenient with my schedule. I went with someone else, but clearly didn't do as deep of a dive as I should have. Originally I thought my nose looked okay, but as the months went on, I was really starting to notice how it was not "fixed" the way I wanted it to be. I was so down about it. I decided after about a year to consider revision rhinoplasty. I went back to Dr Lin, with my tail between my legs, but he ever made me feel bad about it and was completely understanding! I decided to go with him, and never felt nervous about it. He completely listened to what I was trying to fix, and greatly improved my breathing as well! (which was never really fixed the first time, but I digress....). Now when I catch a view of my profile, I am soooo happy it is a "normal nose." He really listened to me, met and spoke with me multiple times, and calmed my nerves before surgery. If I consider any other surgery in the future, I no doubt would go back to him. Everyone in his office is wonderful, including his admin Brooke, all of the nurses and Emma the NP. If you are considering him for a surgery, you won't regret it!

Don't Think Twice About Dr Lin!

Dr. Lin made the process easy and comfortable for me. The consultations were very informative and gave me a lot of confidence going into surgery. The recovery process was fairly easy, and I was able to return to most normal activities, including work, after one week (when I got my cast off). I love my cosmetic results, but I can also breathe so much better than before. I highly recommend Dr. Lin for any cosmetic or internal nasal surgery.

Amazing Experience with Dr. Lin

I had a closed rhinoplasty with Dr. Lin to smooth a bony bump on my nose, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He’s incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, and his team made the entire process comfortable and stress-free. 
Before finding Dr. Lin, another surgeon told me the bump couldn’t simply be shaved down and that my entire nose would need to be broken and filler added to fix the bump. Then I went to Dr. Lin, who listened to exactly what I wanted, and skillfully smoothed the bump without unnecessary procedures. He never tried to upsell me and delivered truly perfect results. 
Recovery was unbelievably easy: I only took two Tylenols the first day and needed no other pain medication. Jaimie the nurse and the anesthesiologist made surgery day calm and comfortable, and Brooke was wonderfully clear and friendly throughout the process. I can’t recommend Dr. Lin and his team enough.

Best Doctor Ever

Dr Lin, Jamie and staff were a breeze to work with. From initial appointment to post-op, my experience was extremely positive. Breast reduction surgery was something I wanted to do for many years and I am so grateful to already be feeling the benefits just 2 months post-op. My recovery was minimal after the first week and I immediately felt a difference in my back and shoulders.

Dr. Lin and Team Are Top Notch!

The staff was wonderful. From check-in and comforting while assisting with the surgery process. Dr. Lin was very proficient with his knowledge about the medical nose surgery and provided feedback during the process. Dr. Lin was able to provide a successful surgery with liable staff. I am very happy with the outcome of the surgery and would recommend Dr. Lin to anyone seeking medical/plastic surgery!

I Had a Great Experience with my Surgery!

A great experience with Dr.Lin! From the consultation, the surgery and the follow-up - everything was well executed. I appreciated the transparent communication and care given throughout. And most importantly - the results. I am very happy with the results of the procedure.

A Great Experienc

My experience was great and very thorough. Dr. Lin and his staff took their time with me to explain my options and the breast augmentation process. We went over many options, and Dr. Lin's suggestion for a high profile implant was perfect for me. My end result looks wonderful, and the implants are the perfect size for my body type. 
Also, my nurses at BI Needham were awesome! They were very friendly and caring.

Amazing Experience from Start to Finish!

my experience my was more than i expected , His entire staff was very supportive , i highly recommended Dr lin , Jamie was so wonderful for the first time and post operation. the made me feel so special and understood what  i wanted to achieve

I Had an Amazing Experience with Dr Lin and His Staff
