Rhinoplasty, also called nose surgery, is a procedure performed to improve the appearance of the nose. This nose reshaping surgery can help to not only improve the appearance of the nose itself, but the overall appearance of the patient’s face by improving the proportional facial balance and harmony. Common aesthetic complaints for the nose include: bumps and indentations, a nose bridge that is too wide or too narrow, and the angle between the nose and upper lip. In addition to aesthetic concerns, Rhinoplasty can also be used to improve the function of the nose when there is an obstruction in the structure of the nose that is causing breathing issues. Rhinoplasty is performed either through an open approach or a closed approach–meaning the incision is made inside the nose (closed) or outside the nose (open). To learn more about the Rhinoplasty procedure and recovery process, and to find out if it may be right for you, contact our office to schedule your consultation today.
Sculptra is a filler that can benefit both men and women who are looking for a long-lasting way to fill in moderate to deep wrinkles. Sculptra is administered via injection like Dermal Fillers. Comprised of poly-L-lactic acid, Sculptra reduces skin laxity and softens and smooths the skin to create a more youthful appearance. Unlike other Dermal Fillers, Sculptra results can last up to several years. It stimulates your skin’s own collagen production to reinforce the skins inner structure to restore volume. Sculptra is safe and effective for most skin types and the injections typically take 30 minutes. On average, most patients are recommended to have 2-3 treatments administered over a few months for optimum results. After receiving a Sculptra treatment, patients can expect some mild swelling and redness at the injection site which will subside in the hours following the procedure. There is no downtime for recovery following the treatment, but patients should avoid exercise for a few hours. Results can be seen gradually in the weeks after the Sculptra treatment as the skin appears more and more youthful and vibrant.
