When is the best time to have a rhinoplasty? It's not just about a number! It’s about readiness.

We asked Dr. Farzad R. Nahai about the optimal age for this procedure, and he focuses on two critical factors:

➡️ Facial Maturity: Ensuring the nose has completed its structural growth.

➡️ Mental Maturity: Ensuring the patient fully understands the procedure, the recovery, and has realistic expectations.

Dr. Nahai also highlights key considerations for all age groups:

➡️ Younger Patients (Teens/Underage): Requires solid family support, ensuring parents are fully onboard and the decision is thoughtful.

➡️ Older Patients: Requires careful evaluation of overall health to ensure they can safely tolerate the surgery and recovery.

Dr. Corrie Alford Featured in Parents 🌟

What do pregnancy hormones have to do with your skin? 🤰✨ During postpartum, many people experience changes in pigmentation - and understanding why and how to manage it can make a real difference in confidence and skin health.

Dr. Corrie Alford, M.D., Board-Certified Dermatologist at MetroDerm, was recently featured in Parents magazine offering, expert insights on postpartum skin pigmentation and safe, effective care strategies.

According to Dr. Alford,
“Pigmentation during and after pregnancy is best addressed by taking preventive measures... Limiting significant sun exposure and using a sunscreen that contains an SPF 30 or greater and offers UVA and UVB protection is key.”

Post-pregnancy skin changes like melasma (“mask of pregnancy”), darkened freckles, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation are common due to hormonal shifts, and they can stick around longer than expected if not thoughtfully managed.

Dr. Alford also discusses how blue light exposure (from screens) can affect pigmentation and why gentle at-home care combined with Dermatologist guidance matters, especially for those with darker skin tones.

When considering facial aging, should you focus on one area (like the eyes 👀) or address the face as a whole?

Dr. Farzad R. Nahai weighs in on the strategy of Total Face Rejuvenation versus treating isolated areas. He explains that addressing the upper face, lower face, and neck together often yields the most harmonious and natural-looking result because aging rarely respects boundaries.

However, he emphasizes that the best approach is always customized, balancing your specific needs (e.g., severe neck laxity vs. isolated brow heaviness) with your unique anatomy and goals.

Is Plastic Surgery right for a patient in their 20s or 30s? Dr. Farzad R. Nahai weighs in! 🤔

For purely aesthetic goals in younger patients, cosmetic injectables (like neurotoxins and dermal fillers) are often an appropriate and effective solution for prevention and refinement.

Dr. Nahai emphasizes that Plastic Surgery is often only really necessary in younger patients to address non-cosmetic issues such as:

• Trauma or Injury
• Congenital Issues
• Cancers

In these cases, surgical procedures are essential not only for achieving the best aesthetic outcome but, critically, for restoring function and quality of life.

Patients in Atlanta, Alpharetta, an Hiram love these treatments because they provide lift, contour, and improved skin quality without looking overfilled 💙💉.

PSA: Filler does NOT replace Eyelid Surgery! ⬇️

Misinformation around eye rejuvenation is common. We asked Dr. Farzad R. Nahai to set the record straight on key Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) misconceptions:

❌ Myth: Filler can do the same thing as Eyelid Surgery.
✔️ Fact: Filler addresses volume loss (like tear troughs); it cannot remove excess skin or permanently reposition bulging orbital fat. When skin laxity is the issue, surgery is necessary.

❌ Myth: Eyelid Surgery is only for older patients.
✔️ Fact: Genetics can cause excess skin or fat pockets to appear in patients as early as their 30s. When the anatomy is ready, the timing is right.

❌ Myth: Eyelid Surgery can fix sagging eyebrows.
✔️ Fact: Eyelid surgery addresses the lid skin. Sagging eyebrows require a separate procedure, like a Brow Lift, for correct positioning and a refreshed look.

Understanding the difference between Filler and Eyelid Surgery is crucial for choosing the right solution and achieving a natural result.

If one of the world's most accomplished Plastic Surgeons needed a procedure, what would he look for in a Surgeon?

Dr. Farzad R. Nahai shares his personal checklist for selecting the right Plastic Surgeon:

✅ Credentials: Are they Board-Certified? Where did they train?

✅ Experience: How long have they been in practice, and how frequently do they perform the procedure you need?

✅ The Vibe Check: Do you enjoy the Doctor and their office? Is the staff happy, pleasant, and responsive (do they answer the phone)? Is the office clean?

✅ Communication: Are your questions being thoroughly answered? Are they taking the time needed to ensure you are fully informed?

These factors determine not just your result, but your entire surgical experience. Trust your care only to a Plastic Surgeon who excels in every area.

If you're tired of looking tired, you're not alone. We asked Dr. Farzad R. Nahai what truly provides the most effective, long-term solution for under eye bags.

He explains that the best solution depends entirely on the cause:

➡️ Tear Trough/Volume Loss: Often corrected with dermal fillers for temporary, non-surgical results.

➡️ Excess Fat (Bags): For permanent correction of true under eye bags caused by orbital fat protrusion, the surgical option (Blepharoplasty) is typically the best and most lasting solution.

➡️ Loose Skin: May require surgical skin removal or resurfacing treatments.

Dr. Nahai emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive Plastic Surgery consultation to determine the underlying cause and tailor the treatment plan, whether surgical or non-surgical, to your unique anatomy and goals.

Why does my skin get red and itchy during winter? 🤔❄️

Reset and renew your skin this season by restoring skin health caused by winter.✨

Cold, dry winter weather can do more than make your skin feel tight. It can strip away moisture and lead to what’s commonly called a winter rash. 🧣🌬️ When skin becomes overly dry, it may itch, flake, turn red, feel rough, or even crack. Left untreated, symptoms can worsen and trigger eczema or flare-ups of conditions like psoriasis or keratosis pilaris.

Why winter is tough on your skin ❄️
Lower humidity, cold winds, and indoor heating all work together to pull moisture from your skin, leaving it dry and irritated 😣

How to protect and restore your skin this winter 💙
• Moisturize more often. Choose a cream over a lotion and apply right after bathing 🧴
• Wear SPF daily. UV exposure remains strong in winter, especially in snowy areas ❄️
• Use a humidifier at home to add moisture back into the air 💨
• Cover up with gloves, hats, and scarves to protect skin from harsh winds 🧤🧣
• Stay hydrated to support skin health from the inside out 💧

If winter rashes or flare-ups persist, prescription treatments may be needed. A Dermatology Provider can help reset your skin and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

Are you curious if insurance can assist with the cost of your nose surgery?

Dr. Farzad R. Nahai breaks down the distinction: while a cosmetic rhinoplasty is typically elective and not covered, insurance may assist in coverage when the procedure is necessary to correct functional breathing issues (often referred to as septoplasty or functional rhinoplasty).

If your nose surgery aims to improve your ability to breathe, there may be options for coverage!

Ready to take the next step in your rhinoplasty journey? Schedule your Plastic Surgery consultation with Dr. Nahai at MetroDerm's Center for Plastic Surgery - Sandy Springs to discuss both the aesthetic and functional aspects of your nose surgery.

What's the best way to look younger around the eyes? 👀

Dr. Farzad R. Nahai performs a live mini-consultation, pinpointing key areas that contribute to an aged or tired appearance and suggesting procedures that could offer significant rejuvenation:

➡️ Brow Position: Assessing for brow descent that can weigh down the upper face.

➡️ Eyelid Skin: Evaluating excess skin on the upper and lower eyelids.

➡️ Ptosis (Droopy Eyelid): Identifying if the eyelid itself is drooping, not just skin.

➡️ Aging as a Whole: Considering the overall facial harmony and how these individual changes contribute to the perception of age.

Dr. Nahai then discusses potential procedures to address these factors, demonstrating the comprehensive thinking behind a personalized Plastic Surgery treatment plan.
