Rhinoplasty is a craft. Like all crafts, there are many different was to achieve an optimal outcome. Ultimately, safety and delivering improved facial harmony without changing one’s identity is the goal. This beautiful patient of mine is photographed approximately 3 months following open structural rhinoplasty. The following ares were addressed: dorsal hump, boxy nasal tip and droopy nasal tip. We are thrilled with her outcome and are grateful for her trust.

Double fold upper blepharoplasty is a very effective way to clean up either an irregular upper eyelid crease or to change an upper eyelid that does not have a crease. By doing so, there is less weight placed on the upper eyelashes which in turn causes the forehead to strain less. Makeup becomes easier to apply and the eyes tend to look more well rested and alert. This beautiful patient of mine who is in her early 50s is photographed approximately 3 months following surgery. She underwent upper and lower blepharoplasty surgery, with the creation of an upper eyelid double fold. She is thrilled with her outcome as am I.

Blepharoplasty surgery is not just for patients with puffy eyes. It is an effective tool used to regain the alert appearance to the face that time has taken away. It is difficult to believe that this beautiful patient is in her late 70s. She is photographed approximately one year following surgery. Her procedures included: 1. open sky fat preservation blepharoplasty, 2. Transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty with fat preservation and transposition into the upper cheek, orbicularis oculi muscle sling to tighten the lower eyelid muscle laxity similar to that seen with deep plane face lifting. 3. Conservative lower eyelid skin excision and periorbital microfatgrating. 4. Fractionated erbium laser resurfacing to the periorbital region to improve skin quality. The procedure has taken off decades of time from her face. I am grateful that she has trusted me with her care.

In order to achieve a clean neck contour, it is important to understand why our necks lose their crop appearance as we age. Wii age, our necks lose their skin and platysma muscle loses its elasticity. As this occurs, the deeper neck structures that the platysma supports tend to sag downwards. The submandibular salivary glands also become larger and often produce a visible bump in the neck. The deep neck fat sags and occasionally the deep diagastic muscles become bulky. To attain an optimal outcome, it is vital to consider removing some of the enlarged submandibular salivary glands and anterior diagastic muscles, to contour the deep neck fat and to tighten the overlying platysma muscle with an anterior platysmaplasty and facelift procedures.

It is always important to assess our patients for upper eyelid ptosis when considering upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery. Eyelid ptosis is a droopy appearance to the upper eyelid which is often due to a laxity of a ligament that allows the upper eyelid to often fully. If this ligament is not tightened during upper eyelid blepharoplasty, this may result in the upper eyelid appearing more droopy following surgery. This beautiful patient of mine is photographed approximately 6 weeks following upper blepharoplasty and tarsolevator advancement (ptosis repair) surgery. I am grateful for her trust.

Over twenty years, the mission statement for patient care has remained the same. 1. Safety 2. Maintenance of Patient Identity 3. The Treatment Needs to Result in a Noticeable Outcome. The “Art” of Plastic Surgery is to produce a result that looks natural and cleaner. The best compliment that our patients often receive is that no one has commented that they have had surgery. This is especially true with facial rejuvenation surgery. This beautiful patient of mine is photographed 3 months following deep plane facelift, deep necklift, micro fat grafting and full face Erbium laser treatment (both TRL and fractionated). I am grateful that she has trusted me with her care.

Double fold blepharoplasty surgery is much different then upper blepharoplasty surgery. The double fold procedure is typically performed in patients of Asian descent and involves constructing a fold where one did not exist. The most durable and reliable technique involves and incision being placed where the new crease is desired. Furthermore, the levator aponeurosis is anchored using deep sutures to the tarsal plate and overlying orbicularis oculi muscle. Upper eyelid fat is redistributed and a conservative amount of skin is removed.

Patients commonly ask if I perform lower eyelid blepharoplasty surgery using an internal (transconjunctival) or external (transcutaneous) incision. My reply is both. If a patient younger and has lower eyelid puffiness and good tissue quality/elasticity, an internal incision is often best. However, if the orbicularis oculi muscle has lost its elasticity and bunches up when the patient smiles, it is important to tighten the lower eyelid orbicularis oculi muscle. This approach is performed through an external incision. Not only does it effectively correct the excess loose muscle and skin but it also supports the lower eyelid and avoids a change in lower eyelid shape following surgery. This extremely kind patient of mine who is in her early 70s, underwent previous lower blepharoplasty surgery which did not include a tightening of the lower eyelid orbicularis oculi muscle. Unfortunately, she developed a retraction of the lower eyelid following surgery and lower eyelid ectropion. I shushed allow me to perform lower eyelid revision surgery. I inclined a canthoplasty and lower orbicularis oculi tightening to restore her eyelid shape and function. I I this procedure has reminded me how helpful our profession can be in improving the quality of life of our patients. I t a privilege to have the trust of our patients.

One of the most enjoyable parts of practice is seeing our patients back in follow up following surgery and listening to how surgery has improved their lives. The body image and confidence improvement that rhinoplasty surgery offers to our young patients is remarkable. This generous patient of ours is in her late teens. She underwent open structural rhinoplasty surgery to improve a deviated nose, septum and correct a bulbous deviated tip. She is photographed approximately 5 months following surgery. I am grateful that she trusted me with her nose and am thrilled to see the joy in her eyes during her follow up visit.

What is upper eyelid ptosis and why is it important to address during upper blepharoplasty surgery. Ptosis often presents as a droopy upper eyelid. It is commonly due to a weak tendon (aponeurosis)that spans between the tarsal plate (cartilage just above the eyelashes inside the upper eyelid) and the levator muscle (the muscle that allows us to actively open our eyes) and is locate deep behind the upper eyelid. It is critical to tighten this weak tendon in order to make the eyes appear more open. This procedure is best done on both sides to improve symmetry and is commonly performed with upper blepharoplasty upper eyelid skin excision. Below is a beautiful patient of mine who underwent this procedure. Her outcome has improved her confidence tremendously. I am grateful that she has trusted me with her care.
