Hello and thank you for your question. I understand that you are concerned about the tip of your nose. It is difficult to appraise cosmetic outcomes by photographs, especially when you are still in the initial stages of surgical recovery. It is promising that your nasal tip looked aesthetically appealing to you on the day of surgery. Before you worry about final results, bear in mind that you are only one week out of surgery. Often, in the first 24-72 hours after surgery, swelling collects in the nose. This is why many physicians put nasal casts on patients post-rhinoplasty, as you had according to the pictures. This swelling can take up to 6 months to one year to fully disappear, depending on the type and extent of the rhinoplasty. The nasal tip is often the last portion of nasal swelling to dissipate post-rhinoplasty. This swelling in the tip of the nose can cause a temporary "bulbous" or "droopy" appearance. As such, I would recommend being patient and waiting for swelling to subside before judging the final results. With a board-certified and well-respected plastic surgeon, I suspect that you will be pleased with your results, which many not be fully apparent for a little while. That being said, I would discuss your concerns with your surgeon in-person, who can give you a better estimate of when you can expect to see the final results.
Hello, and thank you for your question! I certainly can appreciate your concerns regarding sensitivity. Here, there are a number of factors to consider: 1) Labial reduction is certainly possible. However, to get the contour and coloration to match the picture in question, you would likely need a wedge excision technique. The wedge excision maintains the color gradient of the labia minor/majora while still giving an excellent reduction and contour. The look you are going for is certainly achievable with this technique, but this technique is more advanced than a typical tissue amputation technique. You clearly want some labial show, which lends a more natural appearance. I would recommend going to a board certified plastic surgeon in your area and consulting with them to decide on the best course of treatment for you, as pictures can only tell so much. 2) In labiaplasty surgery, clitoral unhooding sets the position for the labial reduction. If you are in fact experiencing increased clitoral sensitivity, I would speak with your plastic surgeon in advance. Sometimes, this sensitivity can be confused with general sensitivity in the area or sensitivity associated with "chaffing." Many patients prefer the aesthetics of clitoral unhooding, so please make sure to discuss this concern in depth with your surgeon. As with any surgery, it is important to note your sensitivities to your surgeon, but especially so with labiaplasty, which is often performed under local anesthetic. If you have concerns about sensitivity, you may wish to have an operation under twilight, or even general, sedation. I wish you all the best!
Hello, and thank you for your question. The sort answer is, age is just a number. In general, surgical clearances are based off of health history moreso than age. Please visit a board-certified plastic surgeon -- depending on the type of buttocks augmentation you wish to pursue, the time under anesthesia associated with that procedure, and your own personal and family medical history, your plastic surgeon will ask you to get certain pre-operative clearances from other physicians. For healthy individuals within a normal weight range for their height and age, this poses no problem and they can typically get all clearances from a primary care physician. However, if you have a significant history, such as a prior or current history of diabetes, heart problems, or blood clots (DVT/PE/VTE), the pre-operative clearance process becomes more intensive, but not insurmountable by any means (you may need to be checked out by one or two more physicians prior to getting cleared for surgery). These clearances serve as a mechanism to check that the procedure and anesthesia associated with that procedure is as safe as possible for you as a patient. If you have a complex or significant medical history, are on medication, or have a significant family history, it is important to disclose these risk factors to your plastic surgeon so that they can make sure you are appropriately cleared with surgery. Additionally, it is always very important to follow your physician's pre and post-operative instructions to make sure your procedure and recovery go as smoothly as possible. I hope this helps you!
