Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Byron D. Poindexter
Sourced directly from Dr. Byron D. Poindexter's social posts and replies.
What are the general risks of rhinoplasty?
Like any surgery, rhinoplasty carries general risks such as bleeding, infection, and changes in sensation. These are generally uncommon.
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty carries the risk of complicating the airway or breathing, especially in revision rhinoplasty (second or third surgeries).
What can limit the cosmetic results of rhinoplasty?
The extent of cosmetic results may be limited to preserve nasal function. Complications can also arise from healing or scar tissue formation.
What should I know about breast augmentation recovery?
Patients can shower the day after surgery. Patients with a straightforward breast augmentation and flash recovery can return to exercising in days or weeks. It is recommended to avoid sleeping on your stomach. Patients will initially be about one size bigger than their final breast size due to swelling.
How does sun exposure affect scars after breast augmentation?
Sunbathing can injure scars and worsen their appearance.
What are the FDA's age restrictions for breast implants?
Saline implants are FDA-approved for women 18 and older for augmentation or any age for reconstruction. Silicone implants are FDA-approved for women 22 and older for augmentation or any age for reconstruction. However, doctors can use implants off-label with patient discussion.
What beauty trends does Dr. Poindexter recommend?
Dr. Poindexter finds cold plunges somewhat effective and Oura ring sleep trackers moderately helpful. He believes saunas have mental health benefits, with infrared saunas being slightly better than regular saunas. He finds red light therapy and lymphatic drainage massage not very effective. He believes face and neck taping is ineffective and can have negative effects, and jawline exercises are ineffective for changing the jawline. Face masks may have some reasonable benefits for growth, but liquid collagen supplements are likely a waste of money if you have collagen in your diet.
What lip filler look does Dr. Poindexter prefer?
Dr. Poindexter prefers lip filler results that look natural, with a 1:3 ratio between the upper and lower lip (smaller upper, larger lower). He believes that too much lip filler can overwhelm the body's ability to tolerate it.
Why is it preferable to have surgery in your home state?
It is preferable to have surgery in your home state so that wound healing problems can be addressed by your surgeon without travel.
