RHINOPLASTY

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose, improving both its appearance and function, and can be performed for cosmetic reasons, to correct breathing problems, or both. 

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

• Purpose:

Rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure that alters the shape and size of the nose. 

• Reasons for undergoing rhinoplasty:

• Cosmetic: To improve the appearance of the nose, such as reducing its size, changing the shape of the tip or bridge, or narrowing the nostrils. 

• Functional: To address breathing problems caused by structural abnormalities in the nose, such as a deviated septum. 

• Combination: Both cosmetic and functional reasons can be addressed during a single procedure. 

• Procedure:

• The surgery involves reshaping the bone and cartilage of the nose. 

• Incisions can be made inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty) or across the columella (open rhinoplasty). 

• The surgeon can remove bone or cartilage, add cartilage grafts, or reshape the nasal tip and other areas. 

• Recovery:

• Patients typically wear a nasal splint for the first week after surgery. 

• Swelling and bruising are common, but usually subside within a few weeks. 

• The final shape of the nose may take several months to become fully apparent. 

• Risks and Complications:

• Like any surgery, rhinoplasty carries potential risks, including bleeding, infection, and changes in sensation. 

• It’s important to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon. 

• Types of Rhinoplasty:

• Primary Rhinoplasty: The first rhinoplasty procedure performed on a patient. 

• Revision Rhinoplasty: A procedure to correct the results of a previous rhinoplasty. 

• Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty: A procedure that uses fillers or other non-surgical techniques to reshape the nose.

FACIAL REJUVENATION

Facial rejuvenation encompasses cosmetic treatments, both surgical and non-surgical, aimed at restoring a youthful appearance by addressing skin concerns like wrinkles, sagging skin, and volume loss. 

Surgical Options:

• Facelift (Rhytidectomy): A procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin on the face and neck. 
• Other Surgical Interventions: May include procedures like rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), and fat grafting. 

Non-Surgical Options:

• Botox and Other Neuromodulators: These injections relax facial muscles to reduce wrinkles. 
• Dermal Fillers: Used to restore volume and smooth out wrinkles and folds. 
• Laser Resurfacing: Uses lasers to improve skin texture and reduce wrinkles and pigmentation issues. 
• Chemical Peels: Apply chemicals to exfoliate the skin and improve texture. 
• Microdermabrasion: A non-invasive exfoliation technique that uses tiny crystals to create microscopic injuries on the skin’s surface. 
• Radiofrequency and Ultrasound: These technologies can tighten skin and stimulate collagen production. 
• Intense Pulsed Light (IPL): Uses broad spectrum of light wavelengths to address pigmentation problems and rejuvenate the complexion. 
• Mesotherapy: A non-invasive technique that involves injecting vitamins, enzymes, and other substances into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. 
• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Uses a patient’s own blood plasma to stimulate collagen and elastin production.
