Otoplasty Gone Wrong

Hi.
I am very self conscience of my ears since they stick out. It's not the case that they are abnormally big, it is just that they protrude. I asked my mother if I was allowed to have otoplasty performed and she told me she had a friend and her daughter had the procedure ten years ago and after the procedure her ears completely collapsed and they were ruined forever. My mother is convinced that ...

Tip grafts

Hello Dr. Steiger,

Considering a tip surgery to correct a quite bulbous tip, the lower lateral cartilages in my tip are relatively weak. Do you place grafts in order to improve strength of do you have alternative solutions? If a alar batten graft or a lateral crural strut graft will be placed, will this provide a wider tip?

Kind regards,
Cindarella

revision rhinoplasty

Hi
I had rhinoplasty done last march to remove the hump, raise the tip and correct my deviated semptum. It has been 8 mos and the tip is starting to look the same to me.

Lip Lift using bullhorn technique

Dr. Steiger,

I'm a 24 year old female and was born with a naturally long upper lip (philtrum). It's never much really bothered me, until now. My face has matured and leaned out and I feel like my upper lip appears even longer than before. I've done much research and read how it's normally 1.1 cm and maximum 1.5 cm, but mine is 3 cm. I've also read that there are 2 types of lip ...

post reconstruction & MOHS surgury

Hi. So I had the left side of my nose reconstructed using a skin graft about an inch long taken from my upper nose (where the glasses eye pads sit) and put down nearest to the nasal labial folds, basically covering the 2 large holes that had been created by the MOHS surgery post basal cell carcinoma. The scar is almost invisible and just a little discolored (both surg. were performed on the same day, ...

recovery of revision rhinoplasty

I just had a revisional nose surgery. With the splints taken out two days ago, I am freaking out at the moment because the right side of my nose is actually indented in towards the left side. The left side of the bridge is clearly stable and then the right side is sort of curved in and overly flatted out. I called the nurse earlier and she claims that the other side is probably just ...
