HomeGeneral If you’ve been researching skin rejuvenation, you’ve probably heard of the popular procedure known as a chemical peel. However, there are many, many different types of peels available, using various chemicals and involving a certain amount of downtime according to the depth of the peel.

HomeGeneral When it comes to rhinoplasty, there are many different types of procedures that can be performed, including cosmetic, functional, ethnic, revision, and reconstructive rhinoplasty. However, these subsets of the procedure are typically not performed as standalone procedures. They are instead usually combined to help give patients the results they seek. Functional rhinoplasty for example, is often combined with cosmetic rhinoplasty in order to improve both aesthetics and nasal function. If you are considering functional rhinoplasty, then you may not have given much thought to changes in your nose’s appearance. However, there are many benefits to combining cosmetic and functional […]
HomeGeneral When most people think of aging, wrinkling and sagging skin top the list of noticeable changes to one’s appearance. However, there is more to the aging process than just these changes, including a somewhat subtle sign of aging that can change the appearance in a significant way: facial volume loss. As facial plastic surgeons deepen their understanding of how we age, more options for rejuvenation are being developed to improve on old techniques. Facial volume loss is a major part of the aging process, and it is becoming recognized as an important component of the facial rejuvenation process. So […]
HomeGeneral The lips may not be the first feature people think of when plastic surgery comes up, but lip treatments and lip surgery are extremely popular. We may all have diverse lip shapes and degrees of lip fullness, but many people would like fuller, shapelier lips. Women in particular tend to covet fuller, defined lips, especially as age starts to deplete some of the lips’ natural plump. But people of all ages seek improvement to the appearance of their lips. Whether extra fullness is desired or the effects of aging have caused wrinkling and thinning of the lips, there are […]
HomeGeneral If your eyes are making you look tired all the time, then you may be noticing some of the first signs of aging. While some people have genetic eye bags or puffiness, the majority of aesthetic issues in this area are related to aging. The skin around the eyes is often the first area people begin to notice age-related changes, and while there are good options for surgical eye rejuvenation (eyelid surgery), many patients are interested in pursuing a less invasive option. So what are some ways to achieve a more youthful look without surgery?

HomeGeneral When it comes to plastic surgery, you want to be able to customize your procedure as much as possible. These days, our understanding of the effects of aging is much better than it once was, and facial plastic surgeons understand that everyone ages at a different rate, and in different areas of the face more quickly than others. This is why a full facelift can be a great idea for people with significant signs of aging in several areas of the face. The procedure is comprehensive and completely customizable, helping each patient achieve a rejuvenated appearance according to their […]
HomeGeneral If you’d like to make your skin brighter, healthier, and more radiant, then you’ve probably heard of a popular type of treatment known as a chemical peel. Chemical peels are a common type of skin refreshing treatment, but they can also be great tools for anti-aging. There is a wide range of different peels available, ranging from extremely gentle and subtle to deep and dramatic. Despite this variation, however, chemical peels work in basically the same way, no matter what the formula.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a type of skin resurfacing treatment that uses different types […]
HomeGeneral While each rhinoplasty patient is unique, each ethnic group tends to have similar nasal characteristics which are worth noting in rhinoplasty procedures. Plastic surgeons who specialize in rhinoplasty generally have a good grasp of the techniques that work well for patients in each group, offering “ethnic” rhinoplasty, which refers to any type of non-Caucasian cosmetic nasal surgery. Asian rhinoplasty is a common request for facial plastic surgeons, but not every provider has the experience to give patients good results. So what are some common goals in Asian rhinoplasty, and how are they accomplished?
Overall Goals
While the goal of many Caucasian […]
HomeGeneral When it comes to plastic surgery, patients are looking for a number of things: great results, limited recovery and discomfort, affordability, and long-lasting benefits. Naturally, no procedure has it all, but there are some procedures that balance these qualities well. Various dermal fillers have become wildly popular procedures of late, due to their great results, accessibility, versatility, and non-invasive nature. But many people don’t have the facts about how they work. Since fillers are injected into the face in a similar manner to Botox, it makes sense that the results might last about the same amount of time. However, […]
