HomeGeneral Whether a local or national athlete, there is always the possibility that one can be harmed while playing sports. You may notice while you observe a sporting event that many of the players are wearing identical uniforms, but have various bandages, guards, and protection pads on. Some of this equipment includes facial gear, such as masks to protect existing injuries and prevent future damage to the area. This protection is necessary in regard to the player’s health, but will not morph unsightly deformities; however, Dr. Batnijiof Batniji Facial Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, California is a highly skilled doctor […]
HomeGeneral Juvederm Voluma is the latest injectable product from Allergan. The cutting-edge facial filler is designed to restore fullness in the cheeks, which can diminish over time as the face ages or due to heredity or weight loss. Dr. Batniji was chosen as a member of Allergan’s Advisory Board for Voluma, researching the effects and benefits of the newly FDA-approved filler and training other physicians in injection techniques. Although Dr. Batniji has been familiar with the injectable for some time and has used it with great reception at his practice, other surgeons throughout the area and the country have not […]
HomeGeneral The forehead is often one of the first areas of the face to show signs of aging.
This may be due to the natural tendency to raise and lower the eyebrows with facial expressions to convey an emotion.
In addition to muscular contractions and movements within the brow, this area of the face sits at a higher plane than other facial features, making it especially vulnerable to damage caused by the sun’s UV rays.
Some patients, on the other hand, have a genetic predisposition to a certain look that includes a lower brow or less space between the eyebrows and eyes. Often […]
HomeGeneral The mouth is one feature of the face that draws a lot of attention as its shape and form are directly impacted by interactions. With the lips, a person speaks and relays emotions through facial animations. It is also the mouth that displays some of the first signs of aging, such as lines in and around the lips, as well as the condition of the teeth. A less commonly addressed part of the mouth can also reveal age: the position of the upper lip in relation to the nose. When the distance from the lips to nose becomes greater […]
HomeGeneral Rami K. Batniji M.D., F.A.C.S. has years of experience in expertly improving his patients’ facial features. A surgery that Dr. Batniji has become highly sought-after for is the revision rhinoplasty. Though rhinoplasty is a common plastic surgery procedure, other plastic surgeons may not specialize in anatomical changes of the face or lack the skills to perform this procedure. In addition to the shortcomings of other surgeons, the nose does not always follow a predictable course of healing. As a result, complications or an unsatisfactory result may occur.
A revision rhinoplasty may require the addition of materials to the nose, in […]

HomeGeneral The Beginning of the Journey
Electing to receive a cosmetic facial treatment or surgery is the beginning of your journey to becoming the new and improved version of you. This process is important for a number of reasons. Your health and happiness may be positively changed in equal measure, alongside your appearance, if you choose a skilled plastic surgeon. This is often the case with rhinoplasty surgery that is performed alongside a septoplasty to improve the look of the nose as well as its airway function. Another example of this doubly positive experience is blepharoplasty surgery, which creates a wider, […]
HomeGeneral A person may be genetically predisposed to a certain facial shape, and the cheekbones may not be as prominent a structure as one prefers. Others may have perfectly normal or even attractive cheeks, though over time the malar fat pads can begin to slip from their high location to a less desirable, lower position on the face. Trauma or disease can deform the structure of the cheek, and may affect tissues as deep as the bone. Each of these issues can be addressed by Dr. Batniji. When a patient is dissatisfied with the midsection of his or her face, […]
HomeGeneral Fat Injections
Fat transfer goes by many names: Autologus Fat Transfer, Facial Fat Injections, Fat Grafting and more. Fat can be injected anywhere in the face to restore or increase volume or to create more contour around various structures. The patient’s own fat source is utilized and it can be harvested through a small cannula during a minor liposuction procedure. The extra fat is often found around the waist, thighs or buttocks. The extracted fat is washed and treated, then reintroduced to the patient in the desired facial area.
Dr. Batniji is careful to perform the fat injection procedure methodically. It […]
HomeGeneral This surgery is commonly referred to as chin implant surgery, mentoplasty, genioplasty, and chin augmentation These terms generally refer to procedures which reshape the chin, often with the use of implants.
Experienced facial plastic surgeons like Dr. Batniji understand and adhere to the notion that the most successful cosmetic corrections are fully customized to a patient’s individual facial features. During a chin augmentation surgery in which the chin’s size is increased, it is imperative for this feature to properly align with the nose as well as the overall face shape. For this reason, there are a variety of chin implants […]
