rhinoplasty

Postby inanesplash » Wed Jul 07, 2010 8:57 am

Dr. Lam

I am interested in getting rhinoplasty. I have a hump, bulbous tip, and slight crookedness. I can email the pictures if you provide an email address.

Also, I am interested in getting my lips augmented. In the past I have gotten Restylane. It has been more than a year since my last injection. The facts that the results are temporary and repeated treatments are kind of expensive have been the negative points. However, I am very interested in getting the Silikon-1000 for more permanent results.

Additionally, I'm in my mid 20's and have started developing forehead wrinkles and smile lines. I am also interested in botox or fillers for them. However, the rhinoplasty and lip augmentation are my primary concern.

The only thing is that I am overseas. I will be coming back to US next month (August). The amount of time I can feasibly spend in Texas is about 7-10 days. So, I am wondering if it is in any way possible to get an appointment for consultation and surgery the day I come in and/or the day after.

Also, can you provide an estimate for the procedures to help my decision. Thank you.

I've been searching on the internet for many options. I really like your work. I like the results from your "before and after" photos. Please let me know my options. Thank you.

hi,
a few things:
1. i am booking into august and beyond so we would have to coordinate things very soon. ideally i perform a phone consult with you. you can send me photos on here as private messages or to my email drlam@lamfacialplastics.com as a start.
2. yes, 7 to 10 days is enough. i need to remove sutures 7 days after and you need to be here a day before for consents etc. so you would be at the 9 day window.
3. lip augmentation with silicone i tend to be more conservative with 20 somethings because i want it to age well. plus, i typically would have to do a couple of rounds to see a better result. time interval between treatments is about at least a month but obviously you could wait a lot longer for another round. for a very subtle result, one round can be enough but most oftentimes it is not.
4. botox we could do the day before. in young people with bad habits i find 1 or 2 treatments can be enough to break bad habits and allow the face to heal well. we can talk about that more by phone or in person.
to speed coordinating things up call my office 972-312-8188. email response from my staff may be delayed by a few days because they get so many requests. nevertheless, you could try marcy@lamfacialplastics.com.
5. my staff has asked me not to post prices here. when you call you can ask.
best,
sml
