How common is infection after breast augmentation? What are the signs to look out for?
Posted January 08, 2010 2:46 PM

Infection after breast augmentation is a very rare occurrence. We would look for redness on the breast or evidence of marked swelling of the breast. If someone is suspecting infection, they really need to come in for an evaluation. Posted By Dr. Pozner Sanctuary Medical Aesthetic Center Sanctuary Plastic Surgery... continue

I am planning on getting breast implants. I am looking at it like if I am going to do it I might as well go big. Are there any drawbacks to getting bigger implants?
Posted January 07, 2010 9:39 AM

We perform implants that match the patient's frame, however if someone wants larger implants this is something that we would discuss with the patient. Larger implants tend to have more complications, including more droopiness and skin stretch, but it is something that we would evaluate on a case by base basis.

I had a face lift a couple of months ago and I would like to know if this normal. I have been experiencing a lot of lumpiness in the skin behind my ears? What is this and will it go away?

Sometimes there is some residual scarring behind the ears that happens after a facelift. This will normally go away as the scar softens. The best thing to do is to massage this area and, if it is a problem, please come in and we will evaluate it. Sometimes we need to inject a little steroid to have it soften faster.

I have somewhat of a pug nose. This might be cute on a woman but I am a guy and it’s something I never liked about my looks. I would like to have this fixed with a nose job. What can be done to fix it and what would be the end result?

A pug nose on a woman or a man is not considered attractive. With this we would need to evaluate the patient and assess the rest of the facial structure to create symmetry, but this is something that we can fix with a rhinoplasty.

I have a very droopy nasal tip. Can this be fixed with a nose job and how is it done?

A droopy nasal tip may be fixed with a nose job, or rhinoplasty. This is generally done in an open fashion with a small incision in the columella portion of the nose and with this we usually use some cartilage grafts or reshaping of the existing cartilage to correct the underlying structure which fixes the droopy nasal tip.
