Cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures that are performed on an individual’s nose are typically referred to as rhinoplasty. This type of surgery can be performed in order to improve the appearance and the proportion of an individual’s nose, or in order to enhance an individual’s facial features. Surgery may also be performed on this region if a person is showing signs of impaired breathing that is caused by abnormalities of their nasal region.
The shape of a person’s nose can be influenced by several different factors. These factors include heredity as well as events throughout a person's life. For instance, anyone who has had a broken nose might have noticed that the break caused their noses to reform incorrectly afterward. On the other hand, the nasal passages of an individual’s nose may be blocked due to the shape of their nose. A candidate in these situations would be a perfect candidate for cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures to be performed on their nasal region.
The surgery can help accomplish a variety of things. Typically, rhinoplastys will change the size of an individual’s nose in order to coordinate with other facial features. The patient and physicians may agree to change the width of the nose along the noses bridge. The profile of someone’s nose may also be changed in accordance to the procedure performed.
Before the procedure is performed on a patient, they will have to undergo a consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon. Your surgeon will discuss various things with you in accordance to the reason why you desire the surgery and your expected outcome from the surgery. At Village Pointe Aesthetic Surgery the cosmetic consultations are always free.
During the consultation, the patient will be required to release any information pertaining to their medical conditions, as well as any medical treatments that they have undergone in the past. Personal lifestyle questions will also be asked to the patient, regarding if they are a smoker or a non-smoker and if they consume any alcoholic beverages on a regular basis.
Before the procedure begins, a plastic surgeon will go over the entire procedure with the patient. They will proceed to draw on the site that they will be performing the cosmetic and plastic surgery procedure on. All patients are put through general anesthesia or intravenous sedation upon their choice. After the anesthetic has been given to the patient, the surgeon will then commence with the procedure.
This procedure involves creating an incision, so the doctor can then reshape the nose structure. The cosmetic and plastic surgery procedure performed will also concentrate on correcting a septum that has been deviated, if the reason for the surgery was due to breathing problems.
After the doctor has completed the procedure they will close the incision, and bandage the area of the nose up so it can proceed in the healing process. Patients will be sent home after the procedure has been performed. However, they will be required to come see their surgeon for a few follow up visits after the procedure has been completed.

How can I make my eyes stand out better?
Want to get rid of those tired looking eyes? Or just want to make your eyes stand out better? Options range all the way from surgical procedures to non invasive (non surgical) procedures or injectables. Let’s take a look at these different options.
Blepharoplasty, also referred to as eye lid surgery, can definitely give you the opportunity to allow your eyes to stand out. Our board-certified plastic surgeons can perform surgery around the eyes in order to improve the appearance of both upper and/or lower eyelids. This is a surgical procedure that removes the excess skin and fat that has accumulated over time in this area.
The procedure performed will allow an individual to showcase a look that says that they are completely rested and alert. This type of surgery is also excellent for making puffy, baggy or otherwise tired appearing eyes look a lot more youthful.
Thermage is a less invasive alternative. It can be done to create a more youthful appearance around the eyes as well. Thermage is a patented radiofrequency technology that over a period of time stimulates the existing collagen and promotes new collagen growth for younger looking skin. This procedure is known for smoothing and tightening the skin to soften wrinkles, reduce under eye sagging and smooth the eyelids. There is virtually no down time with Thermage. You are able to wear make-up and return to your normal routine right after the procedure.
Permanent Cosmetics are another option that can be performed following Blepharoplasty, Thermage or by itself. Permanent Cosmetics can really make your eyes stand out in a crowd. This involves applyinh natural pigments into the dermal layer of the skin, also known as a tattoo. It can be done on the upper and/or lower eyelids (eyeliner) and the eyebrows. A subtle, natural look can be created or a more bold appearance can be achieved. Not to mention it’s extremely convenient!
BOTOX and other injectable fillers can be used to enhance the results of Blepharoplasty and Thermage. BOTOX is great for the wrinkles on the forehead, crows feet and glabellar (lines between the eyes). Injectable fillers do just that, they fill in the lines and wrinkles on the face primarily around the mouth and nose. There are several different options depending on your expectations. Juvederm and Radiesse can give you an instant result that will last for about 6 months – 1 year or more. Sculptra (read our blog on Sculptra) is a more long term result that works gradually over a period of time. Ultimately, they all work together to give you a more youthful appearance.
Even though these procedures can correct certain appearance dilemmas, the individual will still begin to age naturally after the procedure has been performed. By remaining away from excess sun, you can help maintain your results for a longer frame of time.
To evaluate your particular case, a plastic surgeon or other qualified, licensed professional will ensure that you are a rightful candidate for any procedure.
