Does anyone recommend a radix implant specifically made for the radix region as a last resort?

Hi, The only reason implants can move or shift is either they are not placed in the right pocket, the pocket is too big for the implant or the implant was not secured with a suture. It's not normal for an implant to move on its own. If it does not cause a cosmetic difference or stops moving...

Good question. As with a lot of things in surgery, surgeons do things slightly differently, and as long as they are getting good, consistent results, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that whatever they are doing is working for them. I personally do not like to tape the nose a week after...

 Yes, the upper lip can be lengthened during Rhinoplasty by allowing the nasal tip to be rotated upward to a more aesthetic angle of 105 to 110 degrees.  The depressor muscles can also be dissected and weakened during the Rhinoplasty if these muscles appear to be over-active.

I read your concern. Since you had turbinate work during you may just have some crusting in your nose that may need professional cleaning. An in-ofice, diagnostic nasal endoscopy may be helpful in determining why you're having congestion. I hope this is helpful. Regards from NJ...

I have performed Rhinoplasty for over 20 years and a smell, in the nose, after a Rhinoplasty is an infection until proven otherwise.  IMHO, you should go to the plastic and cosmetic surgeon that did your Rhinoplasty for an examination and evaluation.

I advise my patients to wait at least one week before consuming alcohol after surgery. After waiting this period of time, drinking in moderation is fine as long as the patient is no longer taking prescription pain medication as well.
