r/PlasticSurgery

This lovely patient is 5 months postop from a Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift, Lower Blepharoplasty, Fat Transfer, and Tip-Straightening Rhinoplasty and is thrilled with her results. I am the surgeon, Dr. Cory Bovenzi, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon based out of the Denver Tech Center area. Here is some more information on her procedures:

Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift – included submental liposuction, incisions around the ears and a small submental one. No drains used. Facial dressing used only for the first evening. Sutures removed day 7, staples removed day 10.

Lower Bleph: Transconjunctival approach with fat removal. Skin pinch also performed with an incision just underneath the lower eyelid lashes. All dissolve sutures.

Fat Transfer: harvested from the abdomen using a small incision inside the belly button. Processed to microfat- 3.5cc used per side in the midface and lower lid-cheek junction areas

Rhinoplasty: open rhinoplasty with a columellar incision, ultrasonic hump reduction with piezotome, but mostly work on the tip to improve symmetry and straighten it by using ANSA banner grafting and columellar strut grafting from her septal cartilage. Aquaplast cast and small internal silicone splints used for 7 days after surgery before removal. All dissolvable sutures

Any questions ask below

Also, don’t hit me up in my dms I will not answer (thirsty men 😷)

i can breathe way better and am overall much happier with my face, the first few weeks after the surgery were rough, but i am happy i did it in the long run🍀

As you can see I have quite droopy eyes.

My goal is to have very striking feminine eyes like the pictures 2-6.

I’ve been considering:

1. Upper blehparoplasty (reduce eyelid exposure, lift eyes, symmetry)

2. Lateral Canthoplasty (more positive canthal tilt)

3. Double eyelid surgery

4. Infraorbital implants (under eye support)

5. Fat graft* (hollow under eyes, tear through filling)

6. Orbital Decompression

7. Laser for dark circles

1st picture: no filler, no lip gloss.

2nd picture: revanesse fill s/p 1 week.

I’m in my mid 30s & have always wanted a more fuller top lip. I’ve never had any filler or Botox & got Revanesse a week ago (both top & bottom)

The after look was a bit more than I was wanting, which she told me would be normal but once the swelling went down & they settled that would be the size they’d be. However, I feel like they look “ok” with lip gloss/lipstick. Without lip gloss/lipstick , I feel like there really isn’t much of a difference, which is a big bummer. I don’t want anything extreme but I want them to look nice & full without any lip gloss/lipstick. I’m scheduled to go back in two weeks. Ideally, will I see a bigger change after the 2nd session? Do I need to be more specific about placement & the look I’m aiming for? I don’t recall her ever asking what my end goal was & maybe that’s my fault for not speaking up 🫤

The first picture is my nose 3 weeks after rhinoplasty, the second is at 7 weeks after rhinoplasty. Has this happened to anyone? Is it swelling?

included photos of current lips in different lighting, with and without lip products. it’s been almost 5 years and I know there’s still tons of filler left but is the migration that bad? it only bothers me from the side but I dont see myself at that angle anyway lol. I’ve read about hyaluronidase and it seems way too risky. The injector doing my cheeks was strongly urging me to dissolve my old lip filler (she was borderline annoying and gave mean energy, not going back lol). She said it was the first thing she noticed on my face and said it gave me “protruding drooping mouth”.

from your honest opinion - would you risk the hyaluronidase and dissolve the lip filler? I know it’ll dissolve natural collagen and have potential long term effects. I’m terrified; thats why I haven’t dissolved anything. But honestly it doesn’t bother me too much and looks good in photos, especially with lip products on. thanks!

I noticed that now with age. My chin feels fatty but I have been 55kg always. Im actually losing fat on my face. Can it be possible to gain only on this area? Or is it muscle thi g?

I’m considering either liposuction and renuvion or a neck lift.

my nose is wonky. one side sticks out on the bridge more than the other. I don't mind my side angle *too* much but the quarter angle is the worst 😪 I'm scared of getting a nose job because of the risks, downtime and what if I don't like my nose after! would you guys get a nose job if you were me?

I have had these “under eye fine lines” since I was a kid. I don’t know what to call them. They seem to have gotten worse over the last couple years. Before having a child I was using retinol there but obviously cannot now because I’m nursing. I’m in my mid/late 20s. What are my options with either non-surgical or surgical? Anyone else have these? Would a lower blepharoplasty be my only option? I feel like the lines make me look older than I am.

I miss my old profile and nose. Considering a revision to restore stright profile, symmetry and some projection. What are your thoughts? I will go to dr Dean toriumi who is a true revision specialist. First two are before last three are now.

am somewhat fine living with a big, sorta crooked nose (for now anyways) , but i hate how the bottom of it looks like this. is there a way to get it to look symmetrical in some way or atleast make it less obvious?
