3 Things To Know Before Rhinoplasty Surgery
Noses are unique. In my experience, no two are ever quite the same. And when discussing facial rejuvenation with my patients, the nose is a pretty common point of emphasis. Depending on each person’s specific preferences and facial features, altering the size or shape of the nose with rhinoplasty surgery can often be a terrific way to bring more balance and harmony to the face. Today, I wanted to get into more detail on rhinoplasty by discussing a few things that anyone interested should know about the procedure.
Rhinoplasty Can Provide a Wide Variety of Benefits
If you have an issue with your nose, there’s a very high probability that rhinoplasty can be a good solution. Rhinoplasty can be used to correct the width of the nose (too wide or narrow), the positioning of the nose tip, the size of the nostrils, the length of the nose, bumps or “humps” on the nose, and more. Additionally, rhinoplasty can provide an array of medical benefits including reconstruction after a broken nose or alleviating breathing issues caused by a deviated septum.
Rhinoplasty Can Be Performed On Younger Patients
Rhinoplasty is one of the few plastic surgery procedures that is commonly performed on teenagers and other younger patients. While there is no specific age minimum to undergo this surgery, it’s essential for the facial features to be fully developed in order to confirm that someone is a good candidate for rhinoplasty. This typically occurs in the late-teens, but varies from person-to-person, so a consultation will be required to confirm if the patient is a good candidate for the procedure.
Results Will Not Be Seen Immediately
In the days immediately after rhinoplasty, swelling and bruising around the eyes will occur. This is perfectly normal and part of the natural healing process. However, patients should keep this in mind and be patient. I understand that everyone wants to achieve their final results as soon as possible, but this simply is not possible with this procedure until enough time is allowed for the nose to heal. And healing after nose surgery will always be based on the extensiveness of the procedure as well as the individual. Rhinoplasty surgery results will continue to improve in the weeks (and months) after surgery, until the final results are visible. In the meantime, it’s important to follow your post-surgery instructions as closely as possible.
Rhinoplasty has been a common procedure at my practice for years and it’s no surprise why. The satisfaction rate among rhinoplasty patients is incredibly high and it’s amazing to see what even slight tweaks to the nose can do for a person’s self-esteem and overall appearance.

Meet Our Liposuction Patient: Sarah
The goal of every plastic surgery procedure is to help the patient improve both their appearance and how they feel about themselves. And while I would like to say that the rate of patient satisfaction is 100%, this sadly is not the case. I have spoken to many patients over the years who came to my office, upset about a previous cosmetic procedure that they had undergone elsewhere that did not help them achieve their goals, and actually exacerbated their issues. But even in these cases, there is still light at the end of the tunnel. Today, I wanted to share a plastic surgery testimonial from Sarah, a patient of mine who came to my office to see what could be done about a liposuction surgery that was not what she had in mind.
When Sarah first came to my office, she was still upset about a previous liposuction procedure that she had undergone by another surgeon. The results were not to her satisfaction and she had legitimate regrets about undergoing the procedure. After discussing her past procedure at-length, what I would be doing to help improve and hopefully correct these issues, and showing her examples of previous liposuction results that I had helped patients achieve in the past, Sarah was ready to give lipo another chance. And as you can see from Sarah’s own words below, I think it’s safe to say that she was very happy with her decision to go forward with her procedure:
“Dr. LeRoy and his staff were amazing! They were upfront and realistic about expectations. I had a liposuction and fat transfer of my abdomen to fix a previous poorly done liposuction from 10 years ago. I am only a week out of surgery and never thought my stomach could look this “normal” again. He truly took his time to give me the best possible results. After many consultations and hearing a wide variety of quotes that were unmanageable and overwhelming, I was beginning to think I would never look at my belly without cringing again. After my initial consultation with Dr. LeRoy I was confident and excited to start the process. He did not disappoint.”
I’m always happy to be able to provide a happy outcome to stories like this. I want to thank Sarah for trusting me and my medical team, and also for taking the time to leave us such a kind and thoughtful testimonial.

Dr. John LeRoy Explains Different Plastic Surgery Options for Neck Rejuvenation
If you are not currently happy with the appearance of your neck and chin area, the good news is that there are several outstanding ways to address this with the help of cosmetic surgery. Neck rejuvenation can take many forms, and it can be a challenge for some people to differentiate between these options and determine the right course of action for their specific needs. That’s where I can help. I have been helping my patients recontour their neck areas for many years and wanted to speak today about a few of the most common plastic surgery procedures for the neck and the different ways they are able to help.
Neck Lift Surgery
Neck lift surgery is done to help patients by tightening and revitalizing loose or sagging skin and muscle around the jowls and underneath the chin area. Sagging skin in this area and weakened or damaged muscles can lead to the appearance of a “turkey neck,” which can make both men and women look far older than their years. By removing this excess skin, repairing damaged muscles, and lifting the remaining tissue, a neck lift is able to provide a more sculpted, defined jawline and younger-looking overall appearance.
Facelift Surgery
Depending on the extent of your issues, facelift surgery can also be a great way to alter the lower portion of the face, including the neck. Much like a neck lift, a facelift works by removing and tightening the skin around the face and neck, and then repositioning the remaining tissue. This is done to decrease droopiness and alleviate wrinkles, fine lines, and other issues with the skin’s texture. I am able to perform facelift surgery to target areas like the cheeks, around the mouth, and the jawline.
Liposuction for the Neck
For some people, their issue has nothing to do with loose skin, but the accumulation of fat in the neck and underneath the chin area. Even people who are otherwise at a healthy body weight can experience excess fat that creates the appearance of a “double chin.” Liposuction for the neck can help in these cases by surgically removing this fat and creating a more trim and better-defined neck, jowl and chin area. This can be especially helpful for younger patients who have not yet experienced any issues with loose or sagging skin.
I hope anyone concerned about their neck will be intrigued about these options and take the next step towards improved appearance and self-esteem. For patients who seek more modest aesthetic improvement, I also offer minimally invasive Band Aid versions of all three of these procedures, performed in my office under gentle numbing.

Real Plastic Surgery Testimonials From Dr. John LeRoy’s Patients!
In my experience, trust is everything in the world of plastic surgery. The trust that patients have in plastic surgeons like myself to safely deliver outstanding and long-lasting plastic surgery results. But also the trust that prospective patients have with each other when selecting a plastic surgeon in the first place. For many people, there is no better indicator of quality, safety, dependability, reliability, and overall results than how a plastic surgeon’s previous patients feel about their experiences with them. This is why my medical team and I are so grateful to have received so many incredible plastic surgery testimonials from our patients over the years. Keep reading to see a few of them for yourself. All reviews selected from RateMD.
The comfort, safety, and satisfaction of my patients is always a top priority:
“I have had a band aid facelift, skin resurfacing, and liposuction with Dr LeRoy–all excellent experiences and results. He was recommended to me as the best in the city by several people, and I agree. He and his staff are concerned for the patient’s comfort, safety, and recovery. You will be in very capable, good hands.”
To me, there is no such thing as a “minor” procedure:
“I have seen Dr. LeRoy for a few minor procedures (basically revisions to very poorly removed moles by other doctors). While I think he tends to deal with much more involved cases, I never felt like I wasn’t important or that he didn’t take the time to do his very best job on my relatively minor needs. He did such a great job that years later after he was no longer on my insurance, I paid out of pocket for him to remove some other blemishes that I just didn’t care for.”
I pride myself on building long-term relationships with my patients:
“I had lower eyelid surgery with Dr. LeRoy and I am so excited about the results as they are simply amazing. He is a wonderful plastic surgeon and I will continue to see him for any other needs. I love his personality and he did a fantastic job for me!”
I want to take a moment to thank all of the patients who were kind and generous enough to leave us reviews like this over the years.
