Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Joseph L. Grzeskiewicz
Sourced directly from Dr. Joseph L. Grzeskiewicz's social posts and replies.
What is diastasis recti, how is it diagnosed, and can exercise fix it?
Diastasis recti is the separation of abdominal muscles, experienced by about 60% of women during pregnancy. It can cause the belly to protrude, making a woman appear pregnant months or years after childbirth, even with 'abs of steel.' It's diagnosed by feeling a dent in the middle of the abdomen when raising the head while lying on your back. Sit-ups and other exercises cannot bring these muscles back together because the connection is soft tissue without contractile fibers.
What is the typical recovery process and timeline for rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty recovery is generally simple, but requires patience as the nose heals for one to two years. A splint is typically worn for one week, after which it's removed, revealing a dramatic initial change. However, swelling will still be present and can last from 4 weeks up to a year, with bruising lasting 2-3 weeks. Post-operative care involves compression and night taping. Patients can often return to work the day after surgery if working from home and off pain medication, and resume exercise and other activities after three weeks. Full recovery requires patience for the entire year-long process.
How does Dr. Grzeskiewicz approach rhinoplasty consultations and nose size reduction?
During a rhinoplasty consultation, Dr. Grzeskiewicz reviews pictures on a computer to develop a surgical plan, and patients are encouraged to bring 'wish pictures' to help communicate their desired outcome. It's important to understand that significantly reducing the size of a large nose is very difficult due to the skin's limited contractility. To make the nose generally look smaller, the technique often involves building up and refining the tip, and redistributing skin from any existing bumps.
What types of earlobe concerns can be addressed with earlobe repair?
Earlobe repair can address a variety of concerns, including torn, stretched, split, or bifid earlobes. This can result from years of wearing heavy earrings, leading to what's sometimes called a 'calamari earlobe,' or from significant stretching due to previous gauging. The procedure can also rejuvenate aging earlobes that sag or appear wrinkled, often by removing a segment of tissue to restore a proportional, natural-looking shape and a less 'hangy' appearance.
What are the indications and expected outcomes for blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)?
Blepharoplasty can significantly improve appearance and sometimes vision, particularly if dramatic hooding from the upper lids blocks peripheral vision. The procedure involves removing a small fat pad, a small amount of muscle, and a crescent-shaped piece of skin. However, if the eyelid itself hangs down over the pupil, an oculoplastic surgeon should address it. The practice does not perform blepharoplasty for extreme vision blockage typically covered by insurance, and minor skin droop that doesn't block vision will not see significant visual improvement.
What should patients know about breast implant warranties?
Breast implants come with a warranty, but coverage varies based on the specific issue, the implant company, and whether an extended warranty was purchased. Each company offers different terms, with Mentor noted for a good warranty option that clearly outlines inclusions and enhancements. There's a lifetime guarantee for implant rupture and a specific warranty for capsular contracture. An enhanced warranty, which is considered a good investment, typically costs a one-time fee of $300 for silicone implants and $200 for saline implants, and can provide a payout of up to $3,500. Patients are advised to be fully aware of all their warranty options.

What areas of care does Dr. Joseph L. Grzeskiewicz cater to?
Dr. Grzeskiewicz specializes in aesthetic and cosmetic plastic surgery, focusing on procedures for the face, nose, breasts, and body. His expertise includes facial rejuvenation (including fat transfer), neck lifts, eyelid surgery, breast augmentation, breast lifts, breast implant revisions, body contouring, and mommy makeovers. In rhinoplasty, Dr. Grzeskiewicz frequently utilizes cartilage grafting as a staple maneuver to achieve precise shaping, enhance tip projection, define the nasal tip (creating a 'triple break'), improve breathing by opening nasal valve areas, and camouflage post-traumatic deformities. His approach emphasizes creating facial harmony and unique results for each patient. For post-operative care, he generally recommends compression after liposuction and prefers a light compression after tummy tucks to support muscle repair.
