Nose surgery in Beverly Hills, California

My son was born with a deformed nose and i have been trying to help him with his teasing, that he gets from neighbors, that his self esteem in really low right now. As a mom i hate to see your child go through all the teasing.
So i went to our family doctor and i asked him what i could do to help my son with his nose. He told me to go on line and look up Rhinoplasty and you will be able to find the doctor you feel will be the best one for you and your son. So i did and i found this plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, California. I deiced to make an appointment to have my preliminary consultation. While I was there I was able to ask question to see his work that has been done on other patients. I was really amazed what the doctor has done on the other patients.

My son is happy and he can go play with his friends, he has his self confidence back.

Rhinoplasty in Atlanta offered by Dr. Davoudi

For most people, the nose is the most prominent feature on the face, so it’s no wonder that surgery to change the shape of the nose, known as rhinoplasty Atlanta, is one of the most popular at our Atlanta-area practice. Rhinoplasty Atlanta can be used to decrease or increase the length or width of the nose, or to change the shape or angle of the tip or bridge. It can also be used to straighten or enlarge malformed nasal passages that restrict breathing.

To perform rhinoplasty Atlanta at our Georgia center, Dr. Davoudi begins by making incisions either inside the nose or in the skin between the nostrils, so that there is little of no visible scarring. The skin is gently lifted away from the cartilage which supports the nose, so that it can be sculpted into a shape that is more in harmony with the general contours of the face. If the cartilage in the center of the nose is inhibiting airflow, it will be corrected.

Many features which are not desirable in a nose may be improved through Rhinoplasty Atlanta. Noses may be made narrower, straighter, longer or shorter. Humps may be removed and the shape, size and angle and definition of the tip of the nose may be altered. Breathing problems caused by a deviated septum may be corrected. Rhinoplasty Atlanta may be performed at any time after facial growth has been completed that is age 15-16 for women and age 16-17 for men. The ideal outcome for Rhinoplasty Atlanta is a natural appearing with balance and harmony, enhancing beauty of the eyes and lips.

Vaginal Rejuvenation in Honolulu

Vaginal Rejuvenation is frequently requested after a woman has given birth. Often with normal vaginal deliveries the vagina is torn and never regains its original tone. With Vaginal rejuvenation the vaginal muscles are tightened and the area can be made tighter than the original orifice. Scarring is internal and not visible and the procedure is safe and reliable.

Dr. Benjamin Chu in Hawaii can help you to achieve your goals. He specializes in procedures relating to vaginal rejuvenation including procedures such as face lifts, breast augmentation, nose jobs, ear pinning, liposuction, and tummy tucks. To schedule an appointment or to learn more about a vaginal rejuvenation, please contact us today.

Rhinoplasty in Bryan Texas or in College Station

Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems.

If you’re considering rhinoplasty, this information will give you a basic understanding of the procedure-when it can help, how it’s performed, and what results you can expect. It can’t answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on the individual patient and the surgeon. Please ask your Dr. Malcolm Rude about anything you don’t understand.

The Best Candidates for Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won’t necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your surgeon.

The best candidates for rhinoplasty are people who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you’re physically healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate.

Rhinoplasty can be performed to meet aesthetic goals or for reconstructive purposes-to correct birth defects or breathing problems.

Planning Your Surgery
Good communication between you and your physician is essential. In your initial consultation, the surgeon will ask what you’d like your nose to look like, evaluate the structure of your nose and face, and discuss the possibilities with you. He or she will also explain the factors that can influence the procedure and the results. These factors include the structure of your nasal bones and cartilage, the shape of your face, the thickness of your skin, your age, and your expectations.

Be sure to tell your surgeon if you’ve had any previous nose surgery or an injury to your nose, even if it was many years ago. You should also inform your surgeon if you have any allergies or breathing difficulties; if you’re taking any medications, vitamins, or recreational drugs; and if you smoke.

The Surgery
Rhinoplasty usually takes an hour or two, though complicated procedures may take longer. During surgery the skin of the nose is separated from its supporting framework of bone and cartilage, which is then sculpted to the desired shape. The nature of the sculpting will depend on your problem and your surgeon’s preferred technique. Finally, the skin is redraped over the new framework.

Dr. Rudkin performs Rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills

Rhinoplasty is nasal surgery which is designed to improve the appearance of the nose, and/or the function of the nose in regards to breathing.

Rhinoplasty is often considered the most challenging type of plastic surgery, and choosing the exact procedure involves studying the relationship of the nose to the rest of the face, and reshaping the nose to enhance facial balance. No other plastic surgery is individualized to the degree that rhinoplasty must be. A thorough examination, careful discussion of the patient’s goals, and a review of photographic imaging are important in establishing the surgical plan. I usually recommend at least two separate preoperative consultations, to ensure clear communication between patient and surgeon, and to allow an accurate and complete analysis of the patient’s goals and nasal anatomy.

Either ‘closed’ or ‘open’ techniques of rhinoplasty may be performed. The closed technique uses only incisions inside the nostrils, and may suffice for more straight-forward rhinoplasties, for instance a first-time or ‘primary’ rhinoplasty that involves the reduction of a dorsal nasal prominence or ‘hump.’ In most cases, rhinoplasties will involve precise modification of the nasal tip, which is best performed using the ‘open’ technique. This procedure uses the same incisions as the closed technique, and adds a small incision across the columella (the column of tissue between the nostrils). A small external scar results, but this typically heals very well and can be nearly imperceptible. The advantage of the open technique is that is allows the surgeon to better visualize the framework of bone and cartilage that gives the nose its shape. The framework can be precisely altered with the open technique, so as to achieve the desired result with enhanced reliability and predictability.

Depending on the needs of the patient, rhinoplasty may involve the removal or repositioning of cartilage and bone, or the addition of cartilage from the nasal septum or ear. Other tissues, or even synthetic materials, are sometimes used.

When nasal surgery is performed to enhance breathing, procedures may include: septoplasty (modification of the nasal septum, which is the plate of cartilage between the right and left nasal passages), turbinate surgery (modification of tissues deep within the nasal cavity) , or alteration of the nasal framework– most often in an area of the upper nasal passages termed the ‘internal valve.’

Rhinoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure, and under a general anesthetic in most cases. After the surgery, a splint is usually placed over the nose for protection and stabilization, and packing may be used in the nostrils if the nasal passages or nasal bones are altered. Pain and discomfort following the surgery are controlled with oral pain medication, and the stitches and splint are removed within one week after surgery. Nasal packing, when used, is removed within one to three days. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work within one to two weeks. Most bruising resolves within two weeks, though more subtle swelling may persist for longer periods.

For rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills contact board certified plastic surgeon Dr. George Rudkin.

Rhinoplasty offered by Dr. Charles Ebert

Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems.

The Best Candidates for Rhinoplasty
The best candidates for rhinoplasty are people who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you’re physically healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate.

Rhinoplasty can be performed to meet aesthetic goals or for reconstructive purposes-to correct birth defects or breathing problems.

Age may also be a consideration. Many surgeons prefer not to operate on teenagers until after they’ve completed their growth spurt-around 14 or 15 for girls, a bit later for boys. It’s important to consider teenagers’ social and emotional adjustment, too, and to make sure it’s what they, and not their parents, really want.

All Surgery Carries Some Uncertainty and Risk
When rhinoplasty is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, complications are infrequent and usually minor. Nevertheless, there is always a possibility of complications, including infection, nosebleed, or a reaction to the anesthesia. You can reduce your risks by closely following Dr. Ebert’s instructions both before and after surgery.

After surgery, small burst blood vessels may appear as tiny red spots on the skin’s surface; these are usually minor but may be permanent. As for scarring, when rhinoplasty is performed from inside the nose, there is no visible scarring at all; when an “open” technique is used, or when the procedure calls for the narrowing of flared nostrils, the small scars on the base of the nose are usually not visible.

Face & Neck Lift Surgery in Phoenix Arizona

A facelift (technically known as rhytidectomy) can’t stop this aging process. What it can do is “set back the clock,” improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck. A facelift can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.

The best candidate for a facelift is a man or woman whose face and neck have begun to sag, but whose skin still has some elasticity and whose bone structure is strong and well-defined. Most patients are in their forties to sixties, but facelifts can be done successfully on people in their seventies or eighties as well.

A facelift can make you look younger and fresher, and it may enhance your self- confidence in the process. But it can’t give you a totally different look, nor can it restore the health and vitality of your youth.

All Surgery Carries Some Uncertainty and Risk
When a facelift is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, complications are infrequent and usually minor. Still, individuals vary greatly in their anatomy, their physical reactions, and their healing abilities, and the outcome is never completely predictable.

Complications that can occur include hematoma (a collection of blood under the skin that must be removed by the surgeon), injury to the nerves that control facial muscles (usually temporary), infection, and reactions to the anesthesia. Poor healing of the skin is most likely to affect smokers.

You can reduce your risks by closely following your surgeon’s advice both before and after surgery.

The Surgery
A facelift usually takes several hours-or somewhat longer if you’re having more than one procedure done.

Incisions usually begin above the hairline at the temples, extend in a natural line in front of the ear (or just inside the cartilage at the front of the ear), and continue behind the earlobe to the lower scalp.

The skin is separated from the fat and muscle below. Fat may be removed from around the neck and chin to improve the contour. Dr. Marouk then tightens the underlying muscle and membrane, pulls the skin back, and removes the excess. Stitches secure the layers of tissue and close the incisions; metal clips may be used on the scalp.

Following surgery, a small, thin tube may be temporarily placed under the skin behind your ear to drain any blood that might collect there. The surgeon may also wrap your head loosely in bandages to minimize bruising and swelling.

If you are considering a facelift in Phoenix Arizona contact cosmetic surgeon Robert Marouk. Facial plastic surgery procedures offered at the Cosmetic Surgical Art Center in Phoenix Arizona include facelift surgery, rhinoplasty, neck lift surgery, blepharoplasty, lip augmentation and ear surgery.
