If my plan is to perform both a brow lift and upper eyelid surgery, I
like to do the brow lift first, and then work on the upper eyelids about six weeks
later. It's a small hassle for the patient, but I think it gives better
results.
When performing the upper eyelid surgery, I like to take off enough skin that
the patient can't quite get her eyelids closed for a couple days after
surgery. By the end of the week, the lids are closing fine. That
way, I am convinced that I removed all of the skin that I could safely remove.
If I'm elevating the brows during the same operation, it's not safe to be
that aggressive with the skin excision on the upper lids. I have to skimp
on the lid excision, and the result isn't quite as good.

Questioner:
How Do You Fix a Nose with a Bulbous Tip?
How exactly is excess tissue removed from the tip of the nose?
(Questioner submitted photos)
Dr. Denenberg's answer: By modifying the cartilages in the tip, not so much by removing them!
Hi,
The tip cartilages are very thin, but they are arched, and if the arches are wider, then then the tip will look wider. There are various ways to change the position and shape of the cartilages to narrow the tip. The Web reference link below goes to the first page of an essay I wrote on narrowing the tip of the nose. Careful, though, because there are photos taken during surgery, although not on the very first page of the essay.
