Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
How long will a doctor wait until performing a rhinoplasty on a cocaine user?
rhinoplasty and cocaine use
Aug 11, 2017
One of cocaine’s side effects is to constrict blood vessel, thereby restricting blood flow. In certain circumstances, this can be advantageous, such as in use as a topical anesthetic. However, repeated or regular cocaine use wreaks havoc on the nose because of its effects on blood flow. Many cocaine users develop collapse of their nasal cartilages and develops holes in their septum’s because of chronic ischemia. These make rhinoplasty considerably more difficult with higher risk of…
Why did my 6-pack disappear after a tummy tuck?
6 pack after tummy tuck
Aug 9, 2017
I suspect that persistent postoperative swelling is contributing to the inability to visualize your 6 pack. Following abdominoplasty, the ability for the skin and soft tissue to drain extra fluid from swelling are altered. As the soft tissue heals; however, this swelling will dissipate. A tummy tuck may correct separation between the rectus muscles, but it should not cause the muscles to lose mass. In time, as the swelling subsides and you resume your exercise routine/activity levels, your 6…
Post Rhinoplasty, Columella swollen or in need of revision? 1 week post op.
Columellar swelling
Aug 9, 2017
Thanks for sharing your photo. Airway and nasal swelling is absolutely to be expected one week following a rhinoplasty. Without physically examining you, it is difficult to determine the nature of the swelling your describing. Based on your photos, the bulging you see in the left nostril (or right from the image above) may be swelling or a portion of the wing like cartilages that make up the tip, columella, and nostrils. I would follow up with your rhinoplasty surgeon and express your…
BBL and tummy tuck or no? I’m 5’1, 162lbs with a BMI of 30.6.
BBL and tummy tuck
Aug 8, 2017
Based on you photos, I think you would be a good candidate for contouring with liposuction alone as part of the BBL procedure. I would recommend consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in body contouring and liposuction. In addition, I would ask about the location of the surgical procedure, the type of anesthesia being used, and the postoperative care you will receive. Good postoperative management is essential to avoid complication and ensure a great result and…
3 wks post rhino, 2 weeks ago got splint off. Forgot to wear nasal retainer. Will this effect heali
3 wks post rhino, 2 weeks ago got splint off. Forgot to wear nasal retainer. Will this effect healing? What is the retainer for?
Aug 8, 2017
In my practice, I usually remove internal nasal splints at one week, but I continue the external splints for 2 weeks. Without knowing the specifics of your rhinoplasty, I suspect you should be fine. Nasal retainers are usually small rings or studs used to maintain nasal piercings. Assuming this is what your nurse is referring to, not wearing it should not affect your healing. Best of luck with your healing and results!
Fillers with history of severe asthma and allergies?
Fillers with history of asthma and allergies
Jul 2, 2017
Hello,
Given you’re history, I’d recommend a small test dose of whatever filler you are interested in, prior to proceeding with a full treatment. Allergic reactions to fillers are rare in the majority of patients. Although you would most likely be fine, I’d take some precautions before proceeding.

Broken nose still looks crooked after closed Nasal Reduction. Is this normal?
Closed nasal reduction
Jun 24, 2014
Early intervention in the cases of acute nasal trauma is often the best way to avoid the need for significant corrections in the future. Unlike planned, elective rhinoplasty, the degree of correction that can be achieved is often dictated by the nature of the injury or fracture pattern. The goal in a closed reduction is to reduce the fracture as best as possible and then follow along to see if future correction is warranted. In your case, it seems your surgeon has reduced the fracture to…
I am 2 weeks post Septo/Rhinoplasty. Will my nose become defined and less shapeless as the swelling
Swelling 2 weeks after Rhinoplasty
Jun 23, 2014
Swelling after a rhinoplasty is very common, and it can obscure the refinements that were made in surgery, especially at the nasal tip. As time passes, you should be able to notice the improvements from surgery. In most cases the refinements made in the nasal tip will become more evident. Give it some more time. It is important to continue to follow up with your surgeon and express any concerns you may have. Kind Regards,SJ Montante, MD
Will insurance cover rhinoplasty for my crooked nose?
Insurance and rhinoplasty
Jun 19, 2014
Chelsea,A rhinoplasty frequently can correct functional problems of the nasal airway. In certain cases, insurance may cover portions of the procedure involved airway improvement. The cosmetic portions of the procedure (e.g. improving nasal tip shape or correction of alar flaring) are typically not covered. I would recommend consultation with a surgeon with expertise in rhinoplasty to discuss your issues and to thoroughly evaluate your nose and airway.Kind regards, SJ Montante, MD
Infected suture after Rhinoplasty.
Retained suture
Jun 19, 2014
It is most likely a reaction to the suture material used in the closure. I would recommend follow up with your surgeon to rule out an infection.
