I'm considering plastic surgery...could a surgeon do all this?

I want a new, better-defined jaw line. A straighter nose. Hair transplant. Skin treatments on my face for acne (even though I don't have much acne), and maybe some lip implants of some sort to make my lips bigger. Also, if he could get rid of my slight double chin...

Hi there-



I am a plastic surgeon in Houston and can say that the skin treatments for acne can be done with a variety of light chemical peels in association with some home skin care. The nose and chin can be done easily with a combination of rhinoplasty as well as a chin implant (the chin implant can help decrease you double chin). I would recommend having any active acne well under control before undergoing surgery to decrease the risk of infection.



The hair transplant is a different animal altogether. Most plastic surgeons do not do hair transplants, so be sure that the surgeon you choose does them regularly. Ask to see before and after photos of his patients. Be sure that he/she does the newer techniques of micrografts- grafting one or two hairs at a time. The older techniques of big plugs look unnatural and you will not be happy. Hair transplant surgery in itself is expensive and takes most of the day when done correctly. I would recommend first getting your acne under control by seeing an aesthetician that is associated with the plastic surgeon you choose. Secondly, I would address your nose and chin issues. After that has healed, I would go find a hair transplant specialist who the majority of his/her practice is hair transplant surgery. A good place to start is:

Its costly but yeah it can be done, they will add implants to your jawline with some kind of hard silicon to alter its shape. They will file your nose bridge down to change the shape, they might use hair plugs for your hair transplant I think and laser skin rejuvenation on your acne. Thats a lot of surgery so they won't do it all in one procedure.
