HomeGeneral A facelift surgery often involves several steps in order to achieve your desired results. As part of this intricate and delicate procedure, your facial plastic surgeon will remove or redistribute the fat cells that have collected around the chin and jaw. What exactly is meant by removing and redistributing this fat? Some patients have a larger amount of fat cells in this area, which may require liposuction techniques to correct. How will the excess fat be managed during your facelift surgery?
The Basic Facelift Technique
Where the fat cells are concerned, there is a standard method for redistributing these cells in […]
HomeGeneral It’s a common assumption that plastic surgeons are all about performing surgery. Perhaps it’s because there isn’t a way to refer to their specialty without also including surgery or surgeon. But the doctors that work to correct and restore the form and function of the body have a growing number of non-surgical procedures available. Some of these options include injectable fillers like Botox and Juvederm, skin resurfacing treatments like chemical peels and lasers, skin care products like Vivite and Oxygenetix, and eyelash enhancers like Latisse.
Dr. Batniji specializes only in the face and neck regions. In this, he is among […]
HomeGeneral If you are looking tired and a bit aged, or beyond your years, then eyelid surgery (or blepharoplasty as it is medically known) may provide the youthful and refreshed appearance that eludes you.
There are two types of blepharoplasty: upper and lower — depending on the eyelid being treated.
They are both the result of time and affect people to varying degrees depending on their hereditary predisposition.
Upper
Upper blepharoplasty addresses excess, sagging skin which can lead to a droopiness called hooding. In some instances, the upper eyelids may sag so much they become an obstruction and begin to interfere with eyesight. In […]
HomeGeneral strong chin has long been associated with leadership, forthrightness, and even manliness. There’s Spartacus as portrayed by Kirk Douglas leading a slave revolt in Rome, George Washington fighting the British, or even Buzz Lightyear saving other toys, “to infinity… and beyond!”
But it’s not just men who are concerned with their chins. You don’t have to be looking for the chin of an action hero, general, or some other typically masculine type.
You might just feel like your profile needs a bit more balance. And in that case a chin implant or chin augmentation could be the thing you’re looking for. […]
HomeGeneral Facelift surgery offers men and women many different anti-aging benefits, often erasing up to a decade from their appearance. Because aging doesn’t magically stop at the jawline, however, many patients find that the signs of aging on their neck become more obvious after a facelift. Neck lift surgery can be the perfect answer to the sagging skin, banding, and other age-related problems. It can also be the perfect complement to facelift surgery for the right patients.
What Does Aging Do to the Face and Neck?
The signs of aging can creep up on us as we grow older, often in the […]
HomeGeneral When you’re planning for a rhinoplasty, you might already be worried about the consequences of what happens if something goes wrong. On the other hand, the idea might never cross your mind. While it’s good to be prepared, stressing out about results that haven’t happened yet won’t help you at all. When your procedure is over, take some time to get to know your new nose and your new look. Only then, once the healing process is complete and you’ve adjusted to the change, should you start to think about revisions. Not all rhinoplasty results come out perfect and […]
HomeGeneral Latisse is a cosmetic hair growth treatment that was developed by Allergan after the drug manufacturer created eye drops with a reported side effect of thicker eyelashes. Combining the medical and cosmetic worlds, this drug has been used for inadequate eyelashes.
Latisse is currently approved by the FDA for the upper eyelids only. A second use for the product has emerged, but it has yet to gain medically-backed support. Latisse may offer patients with thinning, over-tweezed, or barely-there brows a boost in growth. While Dr. Batniji may not be able to suggest the product for its off-label use until it […]
HomeGeneral Preparing for a facelift surgery might just be enough to cause a panic attack unless you know how to plan and check off your to-do list. There are many things to be done ahead of time to ensure a smooth recovery and your best results.
Follow the instructions of your plastic surgeon to be sure you hit all of the key points, but this list can certainly serve as a starting point for your facelift preparations.
One Month Before Surgery…
With your facelift surgery on the books and drawing ever closer, the last three to four weeks is the perfect time to […]
HomeGeneral While plastic surgery has become increasingly accepted in American society, there are still taboos to undergoing an elective procedure. Some see surgical modifications as extreme, while others feel they diminish characteristics that make individuals unique. Though plastic surgery may be debated for years to come, there is some logic behind its acceptance.
Genetic Undertones to Altering the Physical Appearance
Humans are biologically inclined to look their best. The drive behind attraction and sex appeal is just that, and the intention is to eventually attract a mate and reproduce. Further, people enjoy looking and feeling their best because it boosts their own […]
HomeGeneral The lips can be a very sexy facial feature. We look to the mouth when someone makes a facial expression or speaks, helping us to interpret the meaning behind the look and words. Women and men alike choose to draw attention to this facial feature in a number of ways. They may whiten their teeth, or wear lip balm or lipstick to draw attention to the lips. Men can shape their facial hair to provide emphasis on this region of the face. Another way to emphasize the mouth is through lip augmentation, a cosmetic procedure that can be performed […]
