Nose Surgery

Rhinoplasty Reshapes Imperfect Nose Into A More
Normal Nose

When a large hump is removed, the base of the nose needs to be proportionately narrowed. To accomplish this, small skin wedges are removed, bringing the nostrils closer to the center. The more pronounced the abnormality of the nose, the more striking will be the change; if just a minor bulbous tip or a small hump, the effect will be subtler. A patient can be up and about in a day or so following surgery. Any post-surgical pain is easily controlled by medication.

Q. People comment that I look tired all the time. I suspect it's my eyes. I don't want to change the way I look really. I just want to look rested and energetic. What can I do?

A. If you have bags under your eyes or hooded upper lids, or both, eyelid surgery certainly will take care of those baggy eyelids. The procedure's medical name is "Blepharoplasty". Surgery of the eyelids is still the second most common cosmetic procedure (behind liposuction) with more than 50,000 people in the U.S., choosing to have it performed each year by members of the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons. Excess, baggy eyelid skin or puffy fat in the eyelids are conditions which give a tired look to the entire face and can be readily corrected with eyelid surgery. Some people are born with fat pads in both the lower and upper lids, which become more noticeable with age. They can be removed through a small incision made at the lash line or inside the eyelid. The resulting effect is a fresh-faced look normally achieved by taking a vacation or a long rest, but this result lasts a long time. Some patients find that a browlift accomplishes the lift they require in the upper eye region and the lower eyes can often be improved with Laser Surgery for the bags under the eyes and the crow's feet around the eyes.
