I was born with a very thick face and chin and have had it all my life despite never being overweight and living a healthy life. Now I'm 16 years old and have a slimmer face and chin, but I'm still quite fat in those places. I would be very grateful if someone could tell me what causes this and if there is any effective way to remove it. I can also add that I was late into puberty with growth.

Answered on 23rd May '24

Puberty after the age of sixteen combined with an insult to your hormones can cause fat to be collected in the body and face. Apart from this, a plastic surgeon might also inform the patient about options for losing weight in the targeted areas, however, before getting any such procedure it has to be ascertained that he or she doesn't have any underlying medical conditions.

Blocked nose 6 months after rhinoplasty, what to do?

Female | 35

Experiencing a blocked nose six months after rhinoplasty can be normal in some cases, but it's essential to consult with your surgeon for a proper evaluation. While the majority of swelling and healing typically occur within the first few months following rhinoplasty, it's possible for residual swelling to persist for a longer period, especially in the nasal passages. Residual swelling, Scar tissue formation, Nasal valve collapse can be the reasons for blocked nose at this stage. 

If you're experiencing a blocked nose six months after rhinoplasty, it's important to consult with your surgeon or an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) to determine the cause and appropriate course of action. They will be able to evaluate your situation and provide you with personalized advice based on your specific circumstances. In the meantime, here are a few general suggestions that may help:

  1. Follow post-operative instructions: Review the instructions provided by your surgeon after the rhinoplasty and ensure that you are following them correctly. This may include nasal sprays, saline rinses, or other prescribed medications.
  2. Nasal irrigation: Consider using a saline nasal rinse or a neti pot to help flush out any mucus or debris from your nasal passages. This can help alleviate congestion and keep your nose clear.
  3. Humidify the air: Dry air can exacerbate nasal congestion. Using a humidifier in your living space or bedroom can add moisture to the air, reducing the likelihood of a blocked nose.
  4. Avoid irritants: Minimize exposure to irritants such as cigarette smoke, strong chemical odors, and pollutants. These can further inflame the nasal passages and contribute to congestion.
  5. Elevate your head during sleep: Keeping your head elevated while sleeping can help reduce nasal congestion. Try using an extra pillow or consider using a wedge pillow specifically designed for this purpose.
  6. Avoid blowing your nose forcefully: Blowing your nose too hard can potentially disrupt the healing process and worsen congestion. Instead, gently blow your nose with one nostril at a time or use a saline nasal spray to help clear your nasal passages.

Remember, these are general suggestions, and it's essential to seek professional medical advice for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

How long after rhinoplasty can i sleep on my side?

Male | 65

It’s usually recommended not to sleep on your side for the first few weeks after rhinoplasty. The reason for this is to prevent accidental pressure or movement that can affect the healing nasal structures. It is crucial to follow your surgeon’s set of postoperative care instructions as recovery times for individuals vary. Normally after the first weeks, you can slowly switch to sleeping on your side with consent of the surgeon. Elevating your head with extra pillows during sleep can help reduce swelling and promote a more smooth recovery. Never blindly follow the general advice given to rhinoplasty patients without consulting your surgeon because individualizing recommendations are important for your recovery

Can i have face plastic surgery at 17years

Male | 17

The decision to undergo plastic surgery, including facial procedures, is typically based on a combination of factors, including physical maturity, psychological readiness, and medical necessity. Many plastic surgeons require patients to be at least 18 years old or have parental consent for cosmetic procedures. . It is important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon who can assess your particular case, discuss your concerns and goals, and provide appropriate guidance based on your unique circumstances.

Taping nose 6 months after rhinoplasty, is it required?

Female | 32

Taping the nose six months after rhinoplasty is not typically necessary, as the majority of the swelling and healing process should have already taken place by that point. However, it's important to consult with your surgeon for specific guidance based on your individual circumstances.

 

In the early stages of rhinoplasty recovery, taping may be used to help support and shape the nose. It is often applied immediately after surgery and worn for a specific period of time as directed by the surgeon. However, after six months, the nose should have largely settled into its final shape.

 

If you have concerns about the appearance or shape of your nose at the six-month mark, it's best to reach out to your surgeon for a follow-up consultation. They will be able to assess your progress, evaluate any residual swelling, and provide guidance on whether any further interventions, including taping, are necessary.

 

It's important to follow your surgeon's recommendations closely, as they will have a comprehensive understanding of your unique case and can provide the most appropriate advice for your specific situation.

Female | 27

The post-pregnancy treatment for armpit fat focuses on specific exercises and healthy living. Enfold strength training focusing on the chest and back muscles in your workout. Cardio workouts help with total body fat loss. Keep a balanced diet with sufficient hydration. Work with a trainer for customized workout programs. It takes patience and consistency to get gradual sustainable results. However, if worries arise, consult a medical or fitness expert for further advice.
