Jaw surgery/chin implant?
Chin SurgeryMember Response:
Hello, without doing a formal exam and looking at your teeth it is hard to tell what type of surgery would be ideal in your case. Abnormal occlusions that are not fully corrected with orthodontia or braces could require either a single or double jaw surgery. I'd recommend following up with a oral maxillofacial surgeon or craniofacial specialist who do jaw surgery. With a formal consultation they can give you the different options that would be best for your specific case. Sincerely, Eric Payne, MD
Horizontal lines and Neck Folds
Neck LiftMember Response:
Hello, This sounds like it has been troubling you for a while now. I'm sure we can help you with the concerns you describe, but without a formal examination, it is hard to say what is the best plan of action. I'd suggest reaching out to schedule a consultation so that you can get the best options for your concerns. Have a great day. Sincerely, Eric Payne, MD
How To Fix Deep Mental Crease?
Chin SurgeryMember Response:
Hello SunnyB Your question is related to your chin and lip which involves several structures. It is hard to say for sure without an exam but this type of deep crease is due to the position of your teeth, mentalis muscle and bone of the chin. In light of that, fillers will not adequately treat the problem. Doing an exam and obtaining X-rays help in determine the proper course of action. I recommend finding a board certified plastic surgeon near you who specializes in jaw surgery to help you with this problem. A consultation can help you and the surgeon decide on the best course of action. Best wishes Eric Payne, MD
What exactly is this? Osteoma?
Cosmetic SurgeryMember Response:
Hello, Typically an osteoma is benign bone growth that creates a hard bump that can be felt and sometimes is painful if it is hit. No one knows exactly what may cause these growths of the bone but some have suggested it could be related to a traumatic injury. Typically a CT scan can look at the bone to determine if that is truly the issue of the bony bump. Most of the time an osteoma can be removed by making a small incision that is hidden in the hair. I recommend finding a plastic surgeon who is subspecialized in Craniofacial surgery or is comfortable removing these types of bone masses. The excess bone can be shaved off and sent to pathology for analysis.
Everted antitragus fix?
Ear SurgeryMember Response:
Thank you for your question. It is difficult to see exactly what is going on with the ear shape on the limited photos. Sometimes we can reduce the conchal bowl to help or reshape the concha to improve the antitragus. I would recommend finding a board certified plastic surgeon who does a significant amount of ear surgery to help you evaluate what is going on and possible solutions. It is definitely not a common problem and requires someone with experience. Eric Payne, MD The Craniofacial & Plastic Surgery Center Houston
