Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Stitches coming through incision after otoplasty?
Stitch after Otoplasty
Aug 12, 2018
It appears that a suture or stitch has poked through your skin after the surgery. I would advise you to see your plastic surgeon so that she/he can remove the suture. This is not uncommon. Good luck!
Are my ears protruding and asymmetrical enough to have an otoplasty done?
Possible Otoplasty
Aug 12, 2018
If the prominence of your ears bother you, then I would advise you to have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss otoplasty options. Many patients benefit from an otoplasty and the technique can be specified to accommodate your needs.
Is my ear healing correctly after otoplasty? I had otoplasty surgery 6 days ago.
Healing after an Otoplasty
Aug 12, 2018
It is normal to have bruising and swelling during the first couple weeks after an otoplasty. The blisters will go away. They are likely from the bandage and will heal. The suture that you see looks like a dissolvable suture. I would advise your to return to your plastic surgeon to have her/him fully evaluate the ear and trim the suture. Good luck healing!
Best surgeon to go to for otoplasty under local anesthesia?
Choosing a Plastic Surgeon for Otoplasty
Aug 12, 2018
Not all plastic surgeons have a significant experience in otoplasty. I would suggest meeting with a few surgeons and looking at their otoplasty photos. It is important that their aesthetic matches yours. All surgeons are able to perform the surgery under local anesthetic. But having the surgery performed under local will mean that you will be awake the entire time and hear the surgeon's conversation with her/his nurse. Not every patient feels comfortable...
Could surgery make my ear look more like my other ear?
Two different Ears
Aug 12, 2018
No two ears are the same. Luckily, you never view both ears at once. Otoplasty will help remove excess cartilage and skin from your left ear so that it will look more like your right ear. I think that you will have a significant aesthetic improvement. Make sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!
Post-op otoplasty 3 days ago. My left ear feels fine my right is stinging. Could I possible have an in
Sore Ears after Otoplasty
Aug 12, 2018
Itching from the bandage is normal. One side hurting more than the other can be an indication that something is wrong. I would call your surgeon so that he/she can remove the bandage and check to make sure nothing is pressing too hard on your ear. Sometimes the bandages can be too tight. Good luck with your recovery!
Is this a split stitch or infection?
Stitch after Breast Augmentation
Aug 12, 2018
It is not uncommon for a little piece of the suture to poke through your skin. Often surgeons use dissolvable sutures around the nipple and sometimes they push through your skin. I would advise you to return to your plastic surgeon to have him/her take a look. Good luck with your recovery!
How long after surgery are you able to fly long distance?
Flying in for a Breast Augmentation
Aug 12, 2018
I have many patients who come to New York to undergo a breast augmentation. I advise them to stay in the city for 10-14 days before returning home. I also advise them to check their luggage as it will be difficult to place bags in an overhead compartment. As you are more likely to have blood clotting after surgery, it is important to walk around on the plane every other hour. Good luck!
What foods/supplements promote good healing after breast augmentation?
A healthy Diet after Breast Augmentation
Aug 12, 2018
Congratulations on your surgery! I always advise my patients to drink a lot of water and eat a significant amount of protein after surgery. Multivitamins are a great idea. Look for one which includes vitamin C, Zinc, and Vitamin A. A high fiber diet is also beneficial particularly as pain medication can be very constipating. Good luck!
Small, hard knot/lump 6 days post op breast augmentation. Is this normal?
Lumps and Bumps after a Breast Augmentation
Aug 12, 2018
During the first week of healing, it is common to feel small lumps due to bruising. They will go away. But definitely ask your plastic surgeon tomorrow to take a good look at the area to confirm that nothing is wrong. Best of luck in your recovery!
My youngest is 1.5 years old. I need to regularly pick her up. What limitations to those activities ca
Breast implants and Motherhood
Aug 12, 2018
All surgeons have different post-operative protocols. In my office, I ask patients to limit heavy lifting and very active exercise for six weeks. It would be difficult to lift your daughter from her crib and to carry her if she is upset. But you can definitely hug her and snuggle with her. I would have someone else around during bedtime and early in the morning for those first six weeks. Good luck!
I understand hypersensitive nipples after breast augmentation, incisions under breast
Nipple sensation after breast reduction
Aug 12, 2018
About 10% of patients find that they have a change in nipple sensation after breast augmentation. Often this is due to inflammation around the nerves which innervate your nipples. Usually it resolves in a few months. It is very normal to have more or less sensation at two weeks. Good luck healing!
Flying short haul 7 weeks post BA
Flying after a breast reduction
Aug 12, 2018
It is best to speak directly with your plastic surgeon as each surgeon has a different post-operative protocol. I often have patients who fly into New York to undergo surgery. I allow them to fly home 10-14 days later. I advise them to check their luggage as it will be difficult to put anything in the overhead. Have a wonderful trip!
Drop of blood on bra: Does the incision look okay and why could it have been bleeding?
Scar after breast augmentation
Aug 12, 2018
Congratulations on having your surgery! Your incision is healing well. It does not appear to be opening at all. Perhaps you had a scab over the incision which pulled off leading to a little bleeding. If you have further concerns, contact your original surgeon. Good luck in recovering!
I'm not sure what to do with my crooked mouth/lips?
Asymmetric Lips
Mar 14, 2017
Dermal fillers work very well to camouflage facial asymmetries, especially in the lip region. The fillers can increase fullness and improve definition, correcting your crooked smile. The common fillers used in the United States are made of hyaluronic acid. I would make sure to go to a physician who often injects the lips as they can easily be overdone. Good luck!
