Big Nose And Hollow Eyes - What Do I Do?

Question

I have REALLY hollow eyes and a big nose (just my luck!). I was wondering if there are surgeons that would do fat transfers and a nose job all in one day. If not, what do you think would be the best thing to do. The nose job first or the eyes? I was thinking that making a drastic change with the nose may cause a lot of extra skin... effecting the eye area.

It is possible but it really depends on what procedures you really need. It is impossible to tell without a photo or examination. You may need eyelid surgery, rather than fat transfer, or both. You may not need surgery at all, just fillers injection under eyes.

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

Big nose and hollow eye treatment are usually done together. The excess skin of the nose will shrink and the hollow eyes can be corrected several ways depending on what the surgeon finds on the exam. Fillers are what is usually done since this is a very unforgiving region,

That's a good question you ask. I would recommend having the nasal surgery done first. Wait about three months and then go forward with treating your hollow eyes. I would not do it at the same time because the swelling of the nasal surgery might the success of the take of the graft. Especially if you need to narrow the nasal bones. Your eyes could also be treated with hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane. Good luck.

You can certainly perform rhinoplasty and fat grafting during the same procedure. It's hard to comment without seeing your photos, but I wouldn't expect changing the nose shape to really effect the eyes in the long run. You can stage the procedures if you wanted, though for many people having one anesthetic and recovery period is preferable.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

We do not recommend fat injections around the eyes due to the poor results we have seen from other practices with this procedure.  Rhinoplasty should not create any extra skin effecting the eye area. Typically, rhinoplasty is done under general anesthesia and takes approximately an hour and a half to perform.
