Nose
Surgery - Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose,
is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures.
Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose,
change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of
the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your
upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or
help relieve some breathing problems.
Ear
Surgery
- Ear
surgery, ear pinning, or Otoplasty, is usually done to set
prominent ears back closer to the head or to reduce the size
of large ears. For the most part, the operation is done on
children between the ages of four and 14. Ears are almost
fully grown by age four, and the earlier the surgery, the less
teasing and ridicule the child will have to endure. Ear
surgery on adults is also possible, and there are generally no
additional risks associated with ear surgery on an older
patient.
Scar
Revision
- Scars, whether they're caused by
accidents or by surgery, are unpredictable. The way a scar develops
depends as much on how your body heals as it does on the original
injury or on the surgeon's skills. Many variables can affect the
severity of scarring, including the size and depth of the wound, the
blood supply to the area, the thickness and color of your skin, and
the direction of the scar. How much the appearance of a scar bothers
you is, of course, a personal matter. While no scar can be removed
completely, we can often improve the appearance of a scar, making it
less obvious through the injection or application of certain steroid
medications or through surgical procedures known as scar revisions.
Male
Breast Reduction
-
Gynecomastia is a medical term that comes from the Greek words for
"women-like breasts." Though this oddly named condition
is rarely talked about, it's actually quite common. Gynecomastia
affects an estimated 40 to 60 percent of men. It may affect only
one breast or both. For men who feel self-conscious about their
appearance, breast-reduction surgery can help. The procedure
removes fat and or glandular tissue from the breasts, and in
extreme cases removes excess skin, resulting in a chest that is
flatter, firmer, and better contoured.
