Oklahoma Surgery-Care, Dr Wayne, and his staff at W Facial Aesthetics worked tirelessly, professionally, and beautifully to receive, process, and perform a necessary and flawless nose surgery on me in summer 2018. I came back to the US with a complex and totally unique situation, an international referral, and in a last minute-emergency status, but within less than a month I was scheduled...
When I was 15 years old I was in a car wreck that left a hole in my cheek & a hole in my top lip. My gums were completely black and my nose was broken. Hours after the wreck I started swelling to where my cheek was the size of a softball and swollen enough to cover and close up my right eye. A few months after my wreck I was referred to a doctor in OKC who specialized in Oral and...
Last December, my daughter got engaged. So here is where my story begins. LOL After my excitement for her wore off; I turned to my inner self and wondered how I would look in those 'forever' pictures. I had put off doing a facelift for some time; but always felt it was something I would always need after my weight loss of 90+ pounds about 15 years ago. So with her upcoming nuptials, I...
A: While the majority of the 400 plus nasal surgeries I perform each year are done with patients under general anesthetic it is definitely possible to use local anesthetic. To do that you will need to be tolerant of full awareness of the surgery and some discomfort while the local anesthetic is injected into your nose and cheeks to numb the area before starting the surgery. Packing will be placed in the back of your nose to prevent anything dripping down your throat during the surgery so will need to breath through your mouth. Most people will require and appreciate some form of sedation drugs such as versed, or valium and IV medications such as fentanyl and propofol to reduce discomfort and increase relaxation as well helping you disconnect from the somewhat uncomfortable process. In conclusion if you are motivated and can tolerate the above issues you are a candidate for nasal surgery under local anesthesia.
A: Thank you for posting your question and photos. Based on the photos provided it appears that your septum is deviated (obstructing the right nostril). An open Rhinoplasty will address the internal medical concerns, putting the septum back in place, allow for better breathing, and make the nose straight.
Scheduling an in-person consultation with a Facial Plastic Surgeon, who has extensive experience with the Rhinoplasty surgery, is the best way to determine if you are a good candidate for the Rhinoplasty surgery and the best treatment plan for you.

A: Thank you for posting your question and photos. Based on the photos provided I believe the results you are looking for are realistic. Of course, the best way to determine if you are a good candidate for a Rhinoplasty and the best treatment plan for you is through an in-person consultation with a Facial Plastic Surgeon who has extensive experience in the Rhinoplasty surgery. I also suggest looking at the surgeon's before and after photos to see if you like their work.
A good Rhinoplasty is invisible to others and will enhance the surrounding facial features - looking through the photos provided a Rhinoplasty using gentle surgical techniques can address and correct the hanging, bulbous tip and slight dorsal hump without any major bruising and minimal swelling.

A: Thank you for posting your question and photos. From observing the photos provided, a Rhinoplasty can definitely address the nose to better enhance your already existing facial features. Using gentle surgical techniques the large hump, drooping tip, and wide, bulbous tip can be corrected without any major bruising and minimal swelling.

A: Thank you for posting your question and photos. Based on the photos provided, yes, your expectations are very reasonable. A Rhinoplasty can correct your wide drooping tip and also address the slight dorsal hump giving you a more feminine, perky nose. My best advice is to research and look for a Facial Plastic Surgeon who has extensive experience with the Rhinoplasty procedure. Book an in-person consultation to discuss what it is you do not like/wish to change, ask to see their Rhinoplasty before and afters. It is also a good idea to seek out a surgeon who utilizes photo morphing, this will give you an idea of what kind of result you can expect post Rhinoplasty procedure.
