Rhinoplasty for reduction of a minor dorsal bump. Even for smaller bumps, attention to detail and maintaining the right proportions are key to a good result.

This teenage patient had a congenital (something you’re born with) nasal deformity resulting in a deviated nose, something she’s had her whole life. In children, rhinoplasty is typically avoided because it can result in growth disturbances to the nose. It can be safely done in the late teenage years to early adulthood, after the growth spurt has occurred. This patient had to wait a few years to get the surgery she needed, but she’s very happy with the initial results, it was worth the wait!

Both Dr. Simo and Dr. Chen see pediatric patients at the Ballas clinic. Dr Chen also sees patients and performs surgery at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital .glennon

Our expertise as a practice is a reflection of the patients we care for and the community we serve. As an academic practice in a level 1 trauma center, we treat many patients with severe facial trauma.

This patient had a severely depressed midface fracture. The fracture was reduced by opening incisions in the lower eyelid, under the lip, and at the brow. It was secured with titanium plates and screws to restore the cheek projection.

Facial paralysis is one of the most difficult issues to treat in facial plastic surgery. At SLUCare, we work closely with head and neck surgeons to help rehabilitate patients with facial paralysis. This resilient patient had a malignant parotid tumor which damaged his left facial nerve. As a result, he had no muscular tone and poor eyelid position. This was improved with a facial sling using tissue from the thigh, and the eyelid position was corrected to allow eye closure and more symmetrical appearance.

As an academic facial plastic surgery practice, we perform a high number of reconstructive rhinoplasty procedures. We help patients with complex nasal deformities and severe nasal obstruction improve their breathing and appearance. These surgeries are often covered by insurance, and we see patients with different insurance plans including Medicare and Medicaid.
