Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Joseph J. Rousso
Sourced directly from Dr. Joseph J. Rousso's social posts and replies.
What specific aesthetic outcomes can be achieved with Dr. Rousso's rhinoplasty technique?
Dr. Rousso's rhinoplasty technique can reduce a hump on the bridge without creating a 'ski-slope' or 'scoop' appearance, reduce tip droop without upturning the nasal tip, and reduce a bulbous tip or the area above the tip without looking overdone.
What professional recognitions has Dr. Rousso received?
Dr. Rousso was recognized as a 2025 Top Patient Rated Doctor by Find Local Doctors and was named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for 2025.
What is Dr. Rousso's philosophy and approach to rhinoplasty?
Dr. Rousso's rhinoplasty surgeries are always individualized to each patient's unique goals, with an aesthetic finesse in mind. He avoids creating 'scooped out,' upturned, or overdone noses, ensuring outcomes fit the patient's face and look natural, elegant, and balanced. He also avoids placing several grafts, as he believes it can make noses appear wider and unnatural. His overarching goal is to achieve a harmonious, balanced, elegant, and natural-looking nose that aligns with the patient's aesthetic goals, never striving to make all noses look the same.
What are the benefits and outcomes of Dr. Rousso's modified deep plane facelift?
Dr. Rousso's modified deep plane facelift avoids a pulled or unnatural appearance. It can beautifully restore and contour the jawline, help the midface ascend to its youthful positioning, and rejuvenate the neck. This technique is designed to maximally camouflage scarring and highlight natural masculinity (when applicable). It can achieve a smoother neck without prominent bands, lift jowls, and rejuvenate the jawline. The extended deep plane facelift specifically lifts and pulls deeper layers, takes tension off the skin, and removes excess jowls.
What is the initial recovery timeline for rhinoplasty?
Initial rhinoplasty results, including the achievement of aesthetic goals, can be observed from different angles as early as 2 weeks post-operation.
What surgical approaches does Dr. Rousso use for rhinoplasty?
Dr. Rousso primarily utilizes an open rhinoplasty approach.
What should I know about Dr. Rousso's upper eyelid blepharoplasty?
Dr. Rousso considers upper eyelid blepharoplasty one of the best surgeries for creating rejuvenated eyelids. It can be performed in-office with minimal downtime, and results are often visible within a few days post-operatively. Incisions are well hidden in skin creases and are expected to heal without being noticed. The procedure removes extreme overhang and hooding of extra skin, making the upper eyelids visible again and resulting in a softer, less tired, and wonderfully natural appearance.
What are the risks of poor facelift/necklift techniques, and how does Dr. Rousso avoid them?
Dr. Rousso emphasizes that facelift and necklift complications, such as severe scarring, can arise from poor surgical technique, particularly when the skin is simply pulled tightly. This approach can lead to a very pulled and unnatural appearance, and scarring that cannot be easily fixed with scar revision alone. Tension from a tight facelift can result in disfiguring hypertrophic scarring, which might even prevent a patient from comfortably wearing a ponytail. His philosophy is that the best approach is to have the proper surgery done correctly the first time, utilizing techniques like the extended deep plane facelift to lift deeper layers and take tension off the skin.
How does the rhinoplasty process begin with Dr. Rousso?
The rhinoplasty process begins with a consultation where Dr. Rousso understands the patient's aesthetic goals and then offers a specific surgical approach to meet their needs.
