Face, nose and eyelids
What is blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a surgery that removes excess skin from the eyelids. According to Mayo Clinic, eyelids stretch with age and the muscles supporting them weaken, letting excess skin and fat gather above and below the lids — causing droopy upper lids and bags under the eyes that the procedure corrects.

Why do I look older after blepharoplasty?
Looking older or harsher after blepharoplasty usually happens when too much fat or skin is removed, leaving a hollow, sunken look around the eye. Other causes include an untreated drooping brow, uncorrected eyelid ptosis, a crease set too high, and early swelling that can distort the eyelid contour for the first few months.

Do eyes look bigger after blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty does not change the size of the eyeball or the structure of the eye, but it can make the eyes look bigger, more open and more awake. It removes excess upper-lid skin that partly covers the eye, reduces under-eye puffiness and reveals the natural contour and crease of the eyelid. Read the full answer in the article →

How long does swelling last after rhinoplasty?
The nose stays visibly swollen for four to six weeks, about 90% of the swelling has gone by three months, and minimal swelling can persist for up to a year, mostly at the tip. A 3D study measured peak volume at 7 to 14 days and near resolution after 250 days. Read the full answer in the article →

When is the splint removed after rhinoplasty?
The external splint is usually taped over the nose for about 7 days and removed at the one-week visit, together with any non-dissolvable stitches; some surgeons keep it for up to two weeks. Internal packing, when used, comes out after 3 to 5 days. Read the full answer in the article →

What do 2 weeks after rhinoplasty photos look like?

When can I see the final result of rhinoplasty?
Changes are visible about a week after the splint comes off, the result is evident at three months, and the final shape settles over about a year. In complex operations or thick-skinned noses it can take a little longer. Read the full answer in the article →

Why did Michael Jackson's nose cartilage collapse?
The cause in his case was never documented publicly, although his nose was reported to have become far too thin after cartilage collapse. Medically, a collapsed nasal bridge (saddle nose) can follow nasal trauma, previous nasal surgery or cocaine use, and revision surgery often needs cartilage grafts from the ear or rib.

Does teenage rhinoplasty stop facial growth?
No, when it is performed at the right time. Surgeons wait until the nose has reached its adult size, at about age 15 or 16 in girls and a year later in boys, and confirm that it has not changed for about a year. In a study of 40 teenagers followed for an average of 29.5 months, craniofacial growth was not affected in any patient. Read the full answer in the article →

Will rhinoplasty leave visible scars on the nose?
Generally, no. With the closed technique all incisions are inside the nostrils, so there is no external scar.

Can you fly after a nose job?
Usually after 7 to 14 days, once the splint is removed and your surgeon has checked you.

Are the results of buccal fat removal permanent?
Yes. The part of the buccal fat pad that is removed does not grow back, so the slimmer contour of the lower cheeks is permanent. Keep in mind that buccal fat also decreases naturally with age, which is why surgeons remove a measured amount and advise patients with thin faces against the procedure: a face that looks defined at 25 can look gaunt at 50 if too much was removed.

When does the final result of buccal fat removal appear?
The final result of buccal fat removal appears after several months. Swelling hides the outcome at first; the obvious puffiness settles in the first two to three weeks, and the cheeks then gradually contour to their new shape over the following months. Judge before and after photos taken at least three months after surgery. Read the full answer in the article →

Will I be able to breastfeed after a breast reduction?
Not always.

Can I Breastfeed My Baby After Breast Lift Surgery?
Usually yes. Mayo Clinic notes that breastfeeding is usually possible after a breast lift because the nipple stays attached to its ducts, although some women have trouble producing enough milk.

No. A breast lift raises and reshapes the breasts by removing excess skin, but it does not change their size unless it is combined with implants to make them larger or with a reduction to make them smaller.

What types of penile implants are there?
There are two main types: inflatable implants, with two cylinders in the penis, a pump in the scrotum and a fluid reservoir in the abdominal wall, and semi-rigid (malleable) rods that are always firm but can be bent up or down. Inflatable implants feel more natural; semi-rigid implants need simpler surgery and rarely malfunction. Read the full answer in the article →

How Does Penile Lengthening Work?
Surgical lengthening usually cuts the suspensory ligament that holds the penis to the pubic bone, so the flaccid penis hangs lower and looks longer, while the erect length changes little. Urology associations state that it has not been shown to be safe or effective and note a significant rate of complications. Read the full answer in the article →

What Visual Field Test Is Used for Ptosis?
Most surgeons use automated static perimetry on a Humphrey analyser with a program that tests the upper field, or manual kinetic perimetry (Goldmann or tangent screen). Each eye is tested with the lid in its natural position and again with the lid taped up. Superior-weighted programs are better than the standard glaucoma 24-2 test, which covers only a limited part of the upper field. Read the full answer in the article →

What Is the Most Accurate Test for Visual Field Loss?
There is no single most accurate test for every purpose. Automated static perimetry gives a detailed, repeatable map and is the usual choice for glaucoma and eyelid fields; Goldmann kinetic perimetry is a valid alternative for ptosis fields.
