Microfat Grafting, Dermal Fat Grafting

Microfat grafting is a process of transferring small amounts of fat from one area of the body to another. Its purpose is to fill in lines and wrinkles, or shape, emphasize, and increase the fullness of facial features. Microfat grafting is frequently used to augment the lips, correct nasolabial grooves and orbital hollows (thin skin beneath the eyes),... [Read more of this review]

Cheek (Malar) Implants

Malar implants, commonly referred to as cheek implants, come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and designs. Cheek implants are also available in a range of projections, from moderate projection, with less prominence and thickness from the base of the implant, to high projection, creating the greatest amount of thickness and distance from the base... [Read more of this review]

Facial Augmentation

About Rhinoplasty

For men and women alike, the nose is a central cosmetic feature of the face. The size and shape of the nose can complement or detract from an individual’s appearance dramatically. For that reason, until the recent popularity of breast implants, rhinoplasty has been the most frequently requested cosmetic procedure in plastic surgery. Aside from being... [Read more of this review]

Tip-Plasty, Tip Refinement in Rhinoplasty

The tip of the nose is the second most common area of concern for those considering rhinoplasty. It may be the only area of concern for some, and it may be addressed independently, without other procedures commonly associated with rhinoplasty surgery. Tip issues which may compel an individual to seek rhinoplasty include a wide or boxy tip, a bulbous... [Read more of this review]

Hump Removal in Rhinoplasty

The presence of a dorsal hump is the most common reason patients seek rhinoplasty. It is also often the starting point of the rhinoplasty surgery, if there is an existing hump. The dorsal hump is made of bone and cartilage and it runs along the dorsum - the ridge of the upper two thirds of the nose. A prominent dorsal hump may create an overpowering... [Read more of this review]

Revision Rhinoplasty (Secondary Rhinoplasty)

Revision rhinoplasty is considered the most complex and possibly time consuming of nose surgeries. This is because there is often less cartilage and more scar tissue with which to work. In both primary and revision rhinoplasty, cartilage within the nose may be removed and either discarded or grafted to another site in the nose, to lend support to surrounding... [Read more of this review]

Septoplasty, Septorhinoplasty

The septum is the wall of cartilage which divides the nose into two sides. This wall helps shape the nose and direct airflow through the nostrils. An estimated 80% of the population have septums which venture, to greater or lesser degrees, away from the midline, in a condition known as a “deviated septum.” In most cases, this deviation goes unnoticed,... [Read more of this review]

About Brow Lifts

For many of us, the first signs of aging appear around the eyes and forehead, sometimes as early as our 30’s. Vertical lines, caused by contraction of the muscles which draw the brows together (corrugator muscles), may begin to emerge between the eyebrows, creating the appearance of a perpetual frown. The effects of gravity may be seen as the brows... [Read more of this review]

Other Face Lift Types

Subcutaneous Face Lift Simply put, this is the original “skin only” face lift, which relies on the straight forward method of lifting the skin off the framework of the lower face and pulling it tightly towards the hairline, without repositioning or reinforcing underlying muscles and tisues. A long skin flap is created by placing incisions which... [Read more of this review]
