What type of fixation do you prefer when performing endoscopic brow lifts?
There are 2 types of fixation that I currently prefer when performing endoscopic brow lifts. One is suture fixation with a dissolvable suture. Another is the use of the Endotine instrument, which is also dissolvable. The selection of type of fixation is dependent upon skin/soft tissue thickness of the scalp/forehead and hairline position.

HomeArticles I have a crooked and long nose, how will a rhinoplasty help repair this? Afterward, will my nose look different from the front and the side?
If your nose is crooked, one potential benefit from rhinoplasty is the appearance of a straighter nose from the front. If the nose is long, it may appear long because the nasal tip is pointed downwards and/or is over-projected. There are many techniques I use to make a nose appear shorter on side view and frontal view. However, any of these changes in appearance must take your gender, ethnicity, and overall facial features in […]
HomeArticles I enjoy snow skiing and wanted to know if I need to wear sunscreen even when the sun is hiding behind the clouds?
Yes, you should wear sunscreen on both sunny and cloudy days. In a recent study published in the journal, Archives of Dermatology, it was found that many people inaccurately associate temperature and cloud cover with UV exposure. Though UV radiation is lower in the winter compared with the summer, there are large variations in UV exposure during the winter…this means that UV radiation can reach very high levels even in the winter time. Bottom line: wear sun […]

Do you use digital imaging for rhinoplasty consultations and, if so, how accurate is the imaging?
I do use digital imaging for rhinoplasty consultations. I find that it is a wonderful opportunity to discuss your aesthetic goals, particularly on the profile (side) view. I perform the digital imaging myself as I know what can and, more importantly, what cannot be achieved in the operating room. Once we decide upon an aesthetic goal that is suitable for you, I take these images with me to the operating room so that I may reference the images at the time of surgery.

HomeArticles I have a large hump on my nose that I would like removed. I know that the upper part of the nose is bone, and the lower is cartilage. What happens if, during rhinoplasty, you accidentally took too much of the bone, or it didn’t break in just the right spot and a bigger piece came off? If this happened, what would you replace the bone with?
Some rhinoplasty surgeons use a chisel (called an osteotome) to remove the bony dorsal hump. I prefer the use of a very fine rasp to remove the bony dorsal hump, thus significantly minimizing […]
HomeArticles I love the results that I have seen with facelift surgery. I have a loose neck and jowls and I would like to know if a face lift will also remove forehead wrinkles and wrinkles around the eyes.
A facelift will address the loose neck and jowls; however, it will not address the forehead or wrinkles around the eyes. Wrinkles around the eyes (also known as crow’s feet) are treated with Botox. If the wrinkles are relatively deep, you may also benefit from skin resurfacing with a fractionated laser. Same goes for the wrinkles of the forehead…treatment options include Botox […]
HomeArticles I love the results that I have seen with facelift surgery. I have a loose neck and jowls and I would like to know if a face lift will also remove forehead wrinkles and wrinkles around the eyes.
A facelift is an excellent option to address the jowls and neck. Through a well concealed, minimally-invasive approach, the jowls are re-positioned and a more youthful neck and jawline can be achieved. Forehead wrinkles are best addressed with either Botox, skin resurfacing with a fractionated laser, and/or an endoscopic brow lift. As well, wrinkles around the eyes are best addressed with either […]

What kind of incision do you use for facelift procedure?
For facelifts, I use an incision that follows the natural contours of the ear. In doing so, the incision is very well hidden. This type of incision is sometimes referred to as a post-tragal incision. Here is an example of what the incision looks like after facelift surgery.

HomeArticles I have neck bands and fat in my neck. Would a necklift address these issues?
The neck bands you are experiencing are related to a neck muscle called the platysma. There are several potential treatment options for these neck bands. One treatment option is Botox injection into the muscles that form the bands. Another option is surgery. Of the surgical options, one potential treatment is called a submentoplasty. Through an incision underneath the chin, these neck bands can be stitched together to minimize the appearance of these neck bands. If there is excessive skin and/or these neck bands are very […]
