A browlift can be performed with IV sedation anesthesia or general anesthesia.

There are basically two types of wrinkles in the face. Dynamic and static. Dynamic wrinkles are caused by the excessive activity of the facial muscles. These are found in the upper one third of the face and include the “elevens” found between the eyes, the crow’s feet and the horizontal forehead wrinkles. The static wrinkles are those caused by either the descent of facial soft tissue and loss of fat. These are best treated with facial fillers or fat transfer.

The bags you are seeing in the lower part of your eyes is actually fat that has sagged from the inside of the orbit, or eye socket. Liposuction can be used to remove the fat because it is in a very delicate area. In order to remove it, I make a small incision underneath the eyelashes or inside the eye, and gently remove the fat. We then remove a small amount of skin so that it does not sag.

I think that anyone that is considering nasal surgery should consult with a surgeon that specializes in rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty, or cosmetic nasal surgery, is one of the most challenging surgeries plastic surgeons perform. For that reason , I think it’s very important to seek a specialist that experienced in this type of surgery.

If you have made a decision to undergo chin augmentation, the next step is to visit a reputable facial plastic surgeon or a plastic surgeon. In the consultation you should express how much augmentation you would like. Ask to see the implants and before and after pictures. Next, ask for computer imaging. This is a great tool that allows you to communicate with the surgeon, so that both of you are on the same page.

Facelifts can fail for several reasons. The most common reason is loss of elasticity of the skin.  No matter how well the surgery has done, if the skin type and quality is poor, the skin will likely sag again. However, if the skin quality is adequate and there is good elasticity, the facelift, when done properly, should have a good result.

Dysport injections last about as much as Botox injections do. The average is about 4 months.

I prefer to use hyaluronic acid fillers in the nose. This is because they resorb over time and do not leave any traces. Radiesse, although a great filler for soft tissue, can leave traces behind which can become a problem if the patient is going to have surgery in the future. Hyaluronic acid fillers last about one year in the nose.

Grafts are structural elements made from cartilage ( septal or ear) that are used in rhinoplasty. They are used to help shape parts of the nose. For example, some are used to strengthen or shape the tip. They can also be used to correct a collapsed nostril. The main risk of using grafts is that they may become visible. This risk is highest in patients with thin skin. When I use grafts, I am very careful to shape them and bevel the edges so they blend in with the rest of the nasal cartilages.

The eyebrow lift is the same as the forehead lift, so yes you can. There are several ways that the procedure can be done, and it really depends on your anatomy. It can be done through a “coronal” incision (middle of the scalp), a hairline incision (right along the hairline), or through an endoscope via small incisions.
