Technique-specific questions at PRIVATE Plastic Surgery
Answers come from the hospital's own published material; each one links straight to the before & after set for that technique.
Augmentation rhinoplasty for a low dorsum: Must an implant always be used?
When the tip's shape or height changes, the line from the glabella to the tip may no longer flow smoothly, so an implant — even a thin one — is often used to keep the dorsal line continuous.
Augmentation rhinoplasty for a low dorsum: Will my glabella look narrower after surgery?
Raising the glabella a great deal can tighten the skin slightly, but normally not to a noticeable degree.
Alar reduction: Does alar reduction leave a scar?
There is a scar in the alar crease or at the alar base depending on the technique; it usually hides in the natural crease. The planned position is explained at consultation.
Nose tip surgery without an implant: What material is used for tip surgery?
Most tips need only a small change to line up with the existing dorsum, so the patient's own septal or ear cartilage is usually enough.
Crooked nose correction: Does crooked nose surgery help rhinitis?
If one-sided blockage comes from a deviated septum or hypertrophic turbinates, crooked nose surgery can address that cause and improve breathing.
Crooked nose correction: Can only the deviation be corrected without an implant?
Even after straightening, small irregularities can remain along the dorsum, so a thin implant is often used to keep the line smooth.
Hump nose correction: Can the hump grow back?
The operation removes the protruding bone and cartilage. If too little is removed a hump remains — early on it can be masked by swelling — so accurate assessment from the start matters.
Hump nose correction: My bridge is high — can I have only the hump reduced?
Even after the hump is removed the dorsum can look slightly uneven, so laying a thin implant over it is recommended to smooth the line.
Short nose correction: Can the nose be lengthened and heightened a lot at once?
Even after bringing the tip cartilage down, adding too much height leaves no skin to spare and the tip is pulled up and looks upturned again, so height must stay within what the skin allows.
Short nose correction: What material is used?
Septal or ear cartilage is standard; when cartilage is insufficient or too weak, autologous or donor rib cartilage may be added for support.
Bulbous nose correction: Can the tip skin be thinned as much as I want?
There is a limit to how much tip skin can be thinned; going too far risks blood-supply and contour problems, so it is reduced only as far as is safe.
Eye revision surgery: How long after the first surgery can I have a revision?
Usually the tissue and scar must settle first; the surgeon assesses this at consultation. A good revision depends on an accurate diagnosis of the original problem rather than operating again quickly.
Eye revision surgery: Is revision more painful than the first surgery?
Local anaesthesia combined with sedation means patients feel almost nothing during surgery; afterwards swelling is more common than pain.
Long nose correction: Will the tip drop again after surgery?
In a long nose, moving the descended cartilage upward and fixing it at multiple points prevents migration, so the tip stays high over time.
Revision rhinoplasty: Does revision always need rib cartilage?
Not always. Septal or ear cartilage is used first; autologous or donor rib cartilage is added only when there is not enough cartilage or not enough structural support.
Male eye surgery: Will an incision be obvious on a man?
Men should generally choose a simple non-incision method, but when there is heavy skin laxity or significant ptosis the incision method actually gives the better result.
Male rhinoplasty: Do I need an implant if my bridge is already high?
When the tip's height and shape change, the junction with the dorsum may not flow smoothly, so even a thin implant is often used to keep the line continuous.
Male rhinoplasty: Are complications more common in men?
Sex does not change the complication rate; men simply tend to be less careful with after-care, so attention to it removes the difference.
Epicanthoplasty, lateral and lower canthoplasty: Will epicanthoplasty make my eyes look too close together?
The surgeon weighs two things: the intercanthal distance and the existing eye shape. If the eyes already sit close together the opening is kept conservative to protect facial balance.
Double eyelid surgery: non-incision and incision: Does the non-incision method come undone easily?
The non-incision method does have a slightly higher chance of loosening than the incision method, but with careful technique and enough fixation points it holds well. The incision method leaves a scar when the eyes are closed, so the choice must fit each person's eyelid.
Double eyelid surgery: non-incision and incision: Can I choose the crease shape myself?
Yes. The team weighs your preference against what suits your current eyes aesthetically and recommends the best-matching design at consultation.
Double eyelid surgery: non-incision and incision: Will the incision scar be obvious?
No incision is scar-free, but with meticulous suturing a first-time patient is usually left with only a fine line when the eyes are closed after 3–5 months, easily covered with make-up.
Ptosis correction: I'm afraid of an over-corrected look — is that a risk?
It is a delicate operation in which symmetry and over-correction must be checked constantly. The degree depends on how firmly the levator is fixed to the tarsal plate: tighter means a bigger eye, but over-correction is never desirable.
Ptosis correction: I had ptosis correction and still look sleepy — can it be fixed?
Yes. The principle is to move the levator's attachment closer to the lash line so the same effort opens the eye more sharply; the surgeon assesses the remaining muscle power before planning.
