Improvement Focus: Dorsal Hump, Dorsal Width, Tip Shape, Nostril Shape

Technique: Open Rhinoplasty

Graft Types: Bilateral Spreader, Columellar Strut, Sub-Domal, Bilateral Alar Rim

Graft Source: Costal Cartilage (Rib)

Patient Story: This patient is a young Woman from north Austin. She had suffered a cheerleading injury that resulted in altered nasal shape and deviated nasal septum. She underwent a septoplasty by prior  to coming to see Dr. Weinfeld. While this surgery improved her breathing somewhat, it was not normal and the shape was still problematic. She underwent a rhinoplasty by Dr. Weinfeld. Costal cartilage was used as graft source for the procedure due to the fact that septal cartilage was not available (prior septoplasty). This patient was extremely pleased. It is interesting to note that here recovery was so rapid that she was able to walk as a runway model in a fashion show the day her splint was removed (her brother is a fashion designer and was participating in a charity fashion show). This case highlights the important fact that if you are going to undergo a septoplasty, but believe you may later want to undergo a rhinoplasty, find a surgeon like Dr. Weinfeld who is experienced with both, board certified, a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, and The Rhinonplasty Society.

Early follow-up (2 months) from endoscopic brow lift, upper lid blepharoplasty, lower lid blepharoplasty, and fat grafting. Great combination of procedures for this woman in her early thirties who wants to look more awake and “slow down” the aging process.

The brow lift was what is best described and Turbo Powered Endoscopic Brow Lift. Why turbo powered? First endoscopic brow lifts are performed through small incisions made in the scalp and an endoscope, which is a thin surgical camera, is inserted beneath the skin in order to dissect it down to the brows so that they can be freed and repositioned at a higher location. Most endoscopic brow lifts are done through three such incisions. However the “Turbo Powered” version involves two additional small incisions further off to the side in the scalp part of the temple. When you add these two additional incisions it allows you to dissect further down on the face down to the cheekbones and allows you to reposition and elevate the skin surrounding the lateral portion of the eyelid and Peri orbital region. By doing so you’re able to elevate additional tissues in the temple region and even the upper cheep turning a routine brow lift into what is better described as an upper facelift. This was paired with a very minimal upper lid blepharoplasty to remove any residual excess skin in the upper eyelid to give a really smooth look to the upper eyelids and reduce lateral hooding. It’s important to keep in mind with any upper lid blepharoplasty that there needs to be some residual skin left behind in order to prevent an issue where the eyelids wont close. A transconjunctival lower lid blepharoplasty is where the incision to address the lower eyelids performed on the inside of the lower eyelid. This allows you to liberate and reposition the fat pad in the lower eyelid to drape it over the bone and blend the lid cheek junction. This can help reduce the tear trough and create a smooth transition from the lower eyelid to the upper cheek that mimics the anatomy seen in much younger people. When we look at these photos we must bear in mind that lower eyelid procedures often have a longer recovery time as it relates to swelling. For that reason her lower eyelids do you look somewhat puffy but it is a good demonstration of a reduced tear trough. Fat grafting was performed in the upper cheek to further reduce the tear trough and to further blend the lead cheek junction.

48-Year-Old, One Year After Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation Surgery

This 48-year-old patient was photographed one year after a complete facial rejuvenation, sometimes referred to as age-reversing surgery of the face and neck. Her transformation was achieved through a combination of advanced procedures, including a TriMax deep plane facelift, deep plane neck lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, and an endoscopic brow lift.

Together, these procedures addressed every layer of facial aging—from the underlying muscle and connective tissue to the delicate skin around the eyes and forehead. The result is a refreshed, natural-looking appearance that restores youthful contours, smooths the neckline, and brightens the eyes—all without an over-tightened or operated look.

Description:

Buccal fat pad reduction has the powerful ability to reshape the lower cheeks. The procedure removes a small amount of fat from between the cheekbone above and the jaw bone below through two small incisions inside the mouth. The incisions are near where we sometimes accidentally bite our cheeks. There are no external incisions and thus there are no visible scars. Removing precise amount of the buccal fat gives a puckered appearance which can enhance cheek bone fullness, jawline contour, and can even make it look as if a patient has lost weight. The procedure is quick and can be performed awake in the office or asleep as part of other procedures to enhance facial appearance, as was the case with this patient.

Patient Story

This patient is a retired woman currently living in Georgetown, Texas who was referred to Dr. Weinfeld by another Plastic Surgeon in Round Rock for consideration for Revision Rhinoplasty. This patient suffered significant nasal trauma with a severe nasal fracture (broken nose) in her late teen years. This event had a significant negative impact on her breathing and on the appearance of her nose. In here early twenties she underwent a rhinoplasty which she states worsened her nose leaving her with very small nostrils that are difficult to pass air through, a very short nose, and an over rotated tip. She desired a revision rhinoplasty to improve the appearance and function of her nose. This was a very emotional issue for her and in particular she stated that she wanted her nose to have the appearance that it did prior to the injury and the first rhinoplasty. In particular she wanted a slight convexity to the dorsum (i.e. a slight hump) which was consistent with the character of her nose as she remembered it. She underwent the complex revision rhinoplasty using rib cartilage some of which was fashioned into a dorsal onlay graft which was essential in the process of restoring dorsal contour and nasal length. She has been very happy with the transformation in the appearance of her nose and its function. She is now considering having Dr. Weinfeld perform a facelift.

Five Months After a Deep Plane Facelift, Neck Lift, and Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty

At just 40 years old, this patient underwent a comprehensive facial rejuvenation that included a deep plane facelift, neck lift, and upper and lower eyelid (blepharoplasty) procedures. Only five months post-surgery, her results appear natural, balanced, and refined—with smoother skin, lifted cheeks, and a more defined jawline.

The neck lines and nasolabial folds are significantly softened, while the skin shows fewer shadows and contour irregularities. Her scars are barely visible, reflecting the precision of modern facelift techniques.

Today, facelifts in younger women are becoming increasingly popular. Advanced deep plane facelift techniques are carefully adapted to the unique anatomy of younger patients—enhancing facial definition and restoring youthful contours without the appearance of tightness or distortion.  In younger women, the emphasis is as much on shaping as it is on lifting.  Dr. Weinfeld developed the TriMax facelift with shape in mind.  The technique uses four key support sutures to enhance facial shape while also resulting in a powerful, natural lift.

65-Year-Old, One Year After High SMAS Facelift, Deep Plane Neck Lift, Fat Grafting, and Blepharoplasty

This 65-year-old patient was photographed approximately one year after undergoing a high SMAS facelift, deep plane neck lift, fat grafting, and upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty. The results demonstrate how combining advanced facial rejuvenation techniques can restore youthful balance, volume, and definition with natural-looking results.

The high SMAS facelift shares similarities with the deep plane facelift—both involve repositioning deeper facial tissues to achieve long-lasting improvement in facial contour. However, the high SMAS technique differs in the extent of skin elevation and repositioning, making it particularly effective for certain facial structures and aging patterns.

In an aesthetic landscape where many surgeons perform only one type of facelift, Dr. Weinfeld offers both high SMAS and deep plane approaches, tailoring each to the patient’s unique anatomy. His comprehensive understanding of facial layers ensures results that look refined, natural, and harmoniously proportioned.
