Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Akshay Sanan,
Sourced directly from Dr. Akshay Sanan,'s social posts and replies.
What are the early results of rhinoplasty?
One-week post-surgery, the bump is gone, the tip is lifted, and results will only improve as healing continues. Swelling will go down and tissue will tighten and heal.
What is the role of Botox in lip lifts?
Botox in the philtrum can help a little with lip lift and lasts on average 3 months.
What is Ultrasonic Piezo Rhinoplasty?
Dr. Sanan uses Ultrasonic Piezo Rhinoplasty. His team is always available for patients during the pre and post-recovery from your surgery.
What are the post-operative activity restrictions after rhinoplasty?
Patients cannot participate in contact sports for six weeks after rhinoplasty to allow the bones to heal. Examples of contact sports include basketball, karate, boxing, hockey, and lacrosse.
At what age can patients undergo rhinoplasty?
Dr. Sanan typically does not perform nose surgery on females until they are at least 16 years old and waits until males are 17 years old, as most males finish growing by 17 and most females by age 16.
How should patients sneeze after rhinoplasty?
Sneezing with your mouth open is the correct way to sneeze after rhinoplasty. There is also a pill that can help with sneezing, but it can make you sleepy. If you experience nonstop sneezing after a nose job, talk to your rhinoplasty surgeon.
What nasal concerns can rhinoplasty address?
Dr. Sanan performs rhinoplasty to correct nostril asymmetry, refine a boxy nasal tip, and correct a crooked columella.
What is the role of rib cartilage in rhinoplasty?
Dr. Sanan uses rib cartilage for revision rhinoplasty.
What are the benefits of a surgical lip lift?
A surgical lip lift can be a total game-changer when it comes to the face and is a fantastic procedure. It can be suitable for younger patients or older patients whose lip is starting to lengthen, or for patients who feel their lip filler looks artificial or too heavy. The results are permanent.
What is the lip lift procedure like?
A surgical lip lift is a short procedure done in the office. Lip filler is dissolved a couple weeks prior to the lip lift. The numbing feels like a pinch and a burn like the dentist office.
What is the recovery like after a lip lift?
Patients should wait 6 weeks to swim after a lip lift.
What does Dr. Sanan address during rhinoplasty consultations?
Dr. Sanan can show patients what their nose will look like before surgery and addresses droopiness of the tip, especially when smiling. He aims to give the patient a straight profile and a lifted tip.
What does Dr. Sanan do during rhinoplasty?
Dr. Sanan shaves excess cartilage, lifts the tip of the nose, and removes a bump that is bony and cartilaginous.
What are Dr. Sanan's recommendations regarding facial treatments?
Dr. Sanan does not recommend heat-based therapies on the face and neck, as they can melt important tissues under the skin. He also does not recommend threads for jawline enhancement or permanent fillers in the nose or lips. He likes Fraxel laser and red light therapy. Topical radiofrequency is fine, but excessive radiofrequency microneedling is not preferred. He agrees with avoiding Kybella and skinny shot B12 scams. He does not recommend Neck Tite.
