What is rhinoplasty? Rhinoplasty (a.k.a. a nose job) is a rather uncomplicated surgical procedure meant to improve the structure and the shape of your nose. It’s also a virtually pain-free surgery because of the anesthetics that are used.

To correct breathing issues due to nasal imperfections.
To greatly improve the visual appearance of the nose.
However, in today’s post we’re going to take a closer look at nose reshaping done for purely cosmetic reasons.

Correction of “smile lines” are a common request among patients seeking to improve their overall facial appearance. The smile lines typically begin in the mid to late 30’s, secondary to global fat loss in our face. As we lose facial volume, the skin has less support, which results in the descent of the cheek skin toward our lower face. Retaining ligaments in the face attach our skin to the underlying facial skeleton around our mouth which result in nasolabial folds, lateral smile lines, and marionette lines. However, our face is dynamic and cannot be treated as a static structure. Anytime […]

Have you ever looked down at your hands and thought, “I’m not the age of those hands”? As one gets older, yours hands lose volume, fat and elasticity. The top “meaty” supple layer of the hand starts to disappear; your skin starts to look a little translucent and your veins tend to be more apparent. You may even notice more sun spots in your skin. This is a natural part of life and aging, but it also doesn’t have to be a part of your story or something that you tend to hide or are self-conscious about.
