This gentleman also had a face lift operation. With the combination of the face lift
and the peel, he achieved some improvement of the folds that course from the
bottom of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Those folds are typically
corrected not at all or only slightly with a face lift, but adding the peel can
give some reasonable softening. The folds that extend downward and to the
side from the corners of his mouth were also helped by the peel.
The improvement in the front of his neck was the result of the face
lift. We don't peel below the jaw line because the skin of the neck
wouldn't heal well after a peel.

Questioner:
Is There a Way to Put a Very Slight Curve in my Nose Without Surgery?
I had a revision surgery 3 weeks ago. I was left with a too scooped nose so I wanted cartilage places to make it a little more straight with a slight curve. I feel that my nose is too straight now. Is it possible to get a slight curve without having surgery again?

Dr. Denenberg's answer: Revision rhinoplasty takes longer to show the final result
Hi, Eliza, Three weeks is too early to judge the results of a revision rhinoplasty. Your nose will be changing and losing swelling for at least a year, more likely 18 months or so. Also, revision rhinoplasty is so difficult, that it's rarely wise to operate to change anything "slightly." Every time you have surgery, some new feature will appear to bother you. My opinion is that you should back burner the idea of more surgery for at least a year or so.
