Types of Rhinoplasty – Orange County, CA - Dr. Ali Sajjadian

Commonly referred to as nose surgery, rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve the overall shape and size of the nose to create a more balanced and symmetrical appearance.  By making slight changes in size, shape, and contour, rhinoplasty can enhance a patient’s facial harmony and self-confidence.  While the shape and size of the nose is typically the result of heredity, the shape and size of the nose can be impacted by injury or prior surgery as well.  Regardless of the reasons for imperfections of the nose, a rhinoplasty in Orange County can create and restore facial harmony and balance.

Septoplasty (Nasal Obstruction Correction)

Nose surgery isn’t always about the aesthetic appearance of the nose.  In some cases, patients who may experience impaired breathing from a deviated septum or obstructed airway will have corrections done surgically.  Using similar incisions and techniques to traditional rhinoplasty, septoplasty or nasal obstruction correction is designed to improve the overall function of the nose.  When operating on such delicate structures to improve airways, it is important to find a surgeon with experience in this area. Improving an obstructed airway requires careful examination of the structure of the nose, and minor changes can have a large impact on your way of life.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty Orange County

Similar to traditional rhinoplasty, ethnic rhinoplasty is designed to improve the shape and size of the nose to promote facial harmony and balance.  Ethnic rhinoplasty also uses advanced techniques to preserve ethnic identity for patients of African, East Asian, Middle Eastern, and Hispanic descent.  Since the contours of the nose and face vary among different ethnic groups, ethnic rhinoplasty is designed to preserve the ethnic attributes that can often contribute to ethnic identity.  Dr. Ali Sajjadian is one of very few surgeons in the Orange County/Newport Beach area who performs ethnic rhinoplasty.  He can reshape and contour the nose while preserving ethnic attributes that contribute to the overall facial appearance.

Middle Eastern Rhinoplasty Orange County

Middle Eastern Rhinoplasty is an advanced approach to rhinoplasty that improves the shape and size of the nose for patients of Middle Eastern descent.  As the contours and structures of the nose vary, Middle Eastern Rhinoplasty is designed to achieve desired results, while also preserving the ethnic look and feel of the facial structure.  Differing from traditional rhinoplasty procedures, Middle Eastern Rhinoplasty takes extra steps and requires special attention to preserve attributes of the nose and face that make up ethnic identity.  Dr. Ali Sajjadian has a great deal of experience performing Middle Eastern Rhinoplasty, and he understands how Middle Eastern attributes can contribute to the overall appearance of the face.

Revision Rhinoplasty Orange County

Occasionally, Orange County patients are not happy with the results of a rhinoplasty procedure performed by another plastic surgeon.  In these cases, patients may be afraid to schedule another appointment to correct issues that may have developed as a result of the first rhinoplasty procedure.  Revision rhinoplasty is specifically designed to correct issues that are a result of an initial rhinoplasty.  Dr. Ali Sajjadian understands the emotional distress that can result from needing rhinoplasty revision, and he is committed to delivering the results originally expected from the first rhinoplasty procedure.

Mommy Makeovers: Caring for You… (part 2)

Continued from Mommy Makeovers: Caring for You… (part 1)

Addressing the myths associated with Mommy Makeovers…

3. Diet and exercise can get you back to your original shape, if you simply work hard enough.Not always… While diet and exercise are the best and preferred way to lose weight and get a toned body, muscle separation and laxity caused by the swelling of the uterus during pregnancy often require more than diligent physical activity and healthy eating. What’s great about mommy makeovers is that a tummy tuck or even a mini-tummy tuck which  targets just the lower portion of the abdomen, is often necessary to put the finishing touches on hard work done by diet and exercise.

4. A tummy tuck procedure will leave additional scarring if you’ve had a C-Section or Hysterectomy. False… Many Newport Beach plastic surgery clients who undergo a mommy makeover but have had a C-Section or hysterectomy can actually benefit from tummy tuck surgery because the procedure often minimizes the older scars and smooth excess skin, resulting in a smoother contour in those areas.

Mommy Makeovers: Caring for You (part 1)

It’s a no-brainer. When it comes to caring for baby, as a new mom you likely armed yourself with the best information possible, but now what about caring for yourself?

After childbirth many women find that diet and exercise alone cannot fully restore their bodies after childbirth. In Newport Beach we know how hard and frustrating this can be for moms. Especially in an area where it’s swimsuit season all year long. We want women, especially those hard-working dedicated women who are called “Mom” to enjoy feeling confident in their own skin. Sadly stretched out excess skin, or sagging breast can’t necessarily be fixed with diet and exercise alone.

There is no doubt that pregnancy is a beautiful, miraculous process, but it can also leave women feeling stretched out and not happy about the way they look afterwards. Women all over California and the world are finding that a mommy makeover is a great way to get the body back after having a child. Once they have gone as far as possible with diet and exercise, a mommy makeover can assist in treating problem areas that are left, like excess skin around the navel and/or saggy, deflated breasts.

Portland Rhinoplasty - Reviance Plastic Surgery

How Can a Rhinoplasty Help Me?

Portland rhinoplasty patients find that a rhinoplasty can improve any of the following features about your nose:

• Nose size
• Nose width
• Profile
• Tip of the nose
• Large, wide or upturned nostrils
• Asymmetry

How is a Rhinoplasty Performed?

Dr. Chan will either perform an “open” or “closed” rhinoplasty depending on the needs of the patient. Dr. Chan will then change the aesthetic appearance of the nose through these incisions, shaping the nose to best match the patient’s vision for their nose.

What Can I Expect After Rhinoplasty?

A plastic cast will be applied to the outside of the nose for one week after a rhinoplasty procedure. Internal splints may also be necessary to ensure the nose heals in the correct shape. Pain and discomfort vary and is usually very tolerable. Oral pain medication will be prescribed and post-operative instructions will be provided and should be followed diligently to avoid complications and shorten recovery time.

How Much Does an Aesthetic Rhinoplasty Cost?

The cost for nose surgery in Portland can vary depending on the aesthetic changes desired, the complexity of the surgery, and the surgical techniques used. Dr. Chan will be happy to discuss all of your pricing and financing options at your initial rhinoplasty consultation. Insurance does not generally cover the cost of an aesthetic nose job.

Portland Facelift - Reviance Plastic Surgery

Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift?

Reviance Plastic Surgery in Portland has developed its own method for a facelift that provides an overall lift to the lower third of your face and neck. Compared to a traditional facelift, it is a quicker procedure associated with a much faster recovery. The Réviance® Facelift is particularly well-suited for middle-aged and younger patients and tightens sagging muscles and skin of the cheeks and jowls. The result is an overall rejuvenated appearance that makes Portland facelift patients feel younger than they have in years.

How is a Facelift Performed?

Dr. Chan begins a facelift by making strategic incisions, the location of which is determined by the specific needs of the patient. From here, he can tighten the underlying tissue and muscles. Dr. Chan can also smooth out the skin to remove wrinkles and signs of aging.

A Réviance® Lift is performed using local anesthesia and may be combined with neck contouring procedures. Results from your Réviance® procedure can be further enhanced with subsequent laser resurfacing to smooth wrinkles and provide greater skin contraction. Ask Dr. Chan about the new, revolutionary Réviance® Laser Lift Package. The Réviance® Lift can be combined with volumizing procedures such as the use of fillers and fat grafting to create a fuller, more youthful look to your face.

What Can I Expect After a Facelift?

Portland facelift patients will likely experience some bruising and swelling post-operatively, which usually subsides within 1 to 2 weeks. Dr. Chan will prescribe pain medication to help lessen any discomfort during the recovery process. Following Dr. Chan’s post-operative advice will help ensure your recovery is as quick and easy as possible.

How Much Does a Facelift Cost?

The cost for your Portland facelift surgery can be discussed at your initial cosmetic surgery consultation. Schedule your facelift consultation today to discuss all of your pricing and financing options.

Portland Eyelid Surgery - Reviance Plastic Surgery

Portland Eyelid Surgery can provide an improvement in the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. Also known as blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery is often used to provide Portland plastic surgery patients with a more rested and alert appearance. Eyelid surgery can be combined with a brow lift, laser skin resurfacing, facial fillers and Latisse to provide a complete rejuvenation of the eye area. Our staff is equipped and experienced to provide Portland eyelid surgery patients the results they desire.

Am I a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery patients and plastic surgery patients in general should be in good overall health prior to any procedure. Both physical and mental health are important, both for the effectiveness of the procedure and the recovery process. Good Portland eyelid surgery candidates typically display the following concerns:

• Puffy upper or lower eyelids
• Tired looking eyes
• Excess upper or lower eyelid skin

 How is Eyelid Surgery Performed?

The best technique used to perform every eyelid surgery in Portland will depend on the patient and their needs. Factors that decide how the surgery will be performed include age, ethnicity, and which eyelids (upper, lower, or both) are being operated on.

Incisions for upper eyelid surgery are made along the crease of the lids, so scars are virtually invisible. For the lower eyelid, the incision can be made on the inside or outside of eyelid. Depending on your cosmetic needs, Dr. Chan can remove excess fat and skin from the eyelids and surrounding areas.

What Can I Expect After Eyelid Surgery?

Portland eyelid surgery patients should expect slight swelling and bruising of the eyelid surgery. These symptoms should subside within a week and can be helped along by following post-operative instruction given to you by Dr. Chan.

How Much Does Eyelid Surgery Cost?

The cost for eyelid surgery can be discussed at your initial eyelid surgery consultation with our expert cosmetic surgery staff. Insurance will generally not cover the cost of eyelid surgery.

Dr. Jeffrey Brown Joins Dr. Brendan C. Stack at Vienna, VA Sleep & TMJ Therapy Practice

Vienna, VA (PRWEB) March 20, 2014

Dr. Jeffrey Brown, Master Dentist from the prestigious Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, has joined Dr. Brendan C. Stack and his Vienna, VA Sleep & TMJ Therapy practice to best understand Dr. Stack’s revolutionary approach to Temporomandibular Disorders and to ensure the groundbreaking techniques are properly implemented in the future.

Dr. Brown already has many years of experience treating Temporomandibular Disorders and chose to join Sleep & TMJ Therapy in Vienna, VA to ensure that Dr. Stack’s world renowned expertise in how to treat TMJ disorders lives on after his retirement. Dr. Stack’s work has been described as “miraculous” by his peers, especially for how his techniques have been able to remove patients’ dependency on medications while better treating their symptoms.

“Dr. Stack’s work treating TMJ disorders in Vienna, VAand around the world is nothing short of amazing,” Dr. Brown said. “It is my hope that by joining Dr. Stack’s practice, I can make sure his message about the best ways to treat TMJ disorders will live on and help more and more people.”

Dr. Brown and Dr. Stack’s Sleep & TMJ Therapy practice also sees patients suffering from persistent migraines, headaches, jaw popping, and diagnosed movement disorders such as Tourette’s syndrome. With a combination of traditional dentistry and Dr. Stack’s pioneering treatments, many patients experience relief from their symptoms, often without the need for invasive surgery or medications.

Sleep & TMJ Therapy is also experienced in treating children of all ages, especially those with deep bites that were told by their orthodontist that they would need jaw surgery to reposition the jaw. In many of these cases, Dr. Brown and Dr. Stack can avoid such surgery with proper appliance therapy.

About Dr. Stack: Dr. Brendan C. Stack is a university trained orthodontist (Georgetown University) who, since 1965, has limited his practice in Northern Virginia (Washington, D.C. suburb) to the clinical treatment of patients with craniofacial pain, headache and TMJ dysfunction. He is strictly a “results oriented” clinician who cuts through the extraneous issues to diagnose and treat the precise problems with a minimum of time and a maximum of efficiency. He has lectured extensively in the United States, Canada and most recently in Europe. Dr. Stack has a special interest in Tourette’s patients, particularly teenagers and preteens. Over the years this has developed from his ability to treat craniofacial and headache patients.

About Dr. Brown: Dr. Jeffrey Brown grew up in the state of Maine and went to Bowdoin College where he graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1982. He accepted early decision into the Georgetown School of Dentistry and graduated from there in 1986.

Mt. Scott Ear, Nose and Throat & Sleep Medicine Launches Balloon Sinuplasty Website for Portland Chronic Sinuplasty Patients

Portland, OR (PRWEB) February 21, 2014

James Chan, MD and Robert Roberts, DO, board certified otolaryngologists at Mt. Scott Ear, Nose and Throat & Sleep Medicine, have launched a balloon sinuplasty website to inform potential Portland sinus surgery patients about chronic sinusitis and the benefits of balloon sinuplasty.

The website features a custom built survey that asks questions about symptoms and other factors that can contribute to chronic nasal congestion. Filling out the survey gives users a “SNOT-20” score, which can be used to determine if they are good candidates for balloon sinuplasty. If they are candidates for balloon sinuplasty, they can request a consultation with aPortland sinus expert.

“Our new website does a great job of informingPortland chronic sinusitis sufferers of treatments that can help them,” Dr. Chan said. “Our goal is to help patients breathe better, especially those who have been suffering with chronic nasal congestion. Balloon sinuplasty is the breakthrough treatment that many of them need.”

Balloon sinuplasty is a novel office-based procedure that treats chronic sinusitis without the need for invasive surgery. More than 350,000 patients suffering from chronic sinusitis have been treated with balloon sinuplasty and most patients report an improvement in sinus symptoms and quality of life following the procedure.

With balloon sinuplasty, ENT doctors can open inflamed sinus passageways similar to how heart doctors open blocked arteries with balloon angioplasty. Balloon sinuplasty is less invasive than traditional sinus surgery and allows patients to quickly return to their normal daily activities.

About Mt. Scott ENT & Sleep Medicine: At Mt. Scott ENT & Sleep Medicine, you will find a team of highly trained, caring specialists who specialize in treatment of disorders related to the face, head and neck. They provide life-changing solutions for patients of all ages and backgrounds.

He holds special interest in nose and sinus disorders; head, neck, thyroid and parathyroid surgery and the medical and surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.

Understanding Chin Implants - Bel-Red Center for Aesthetic Surgery

Nose jobs (rhinoplasty) get all the credit, but did you know that if you have a small, flat chin, your nose may seem more prominent?  Getting a chin implant will easily improve your facial contours and even make your nose less noticeable.  Many people who consider getting a rhinoplasty (nose job)are often surprised when their surgeon recommends a mentoplasty (chin implant augmentation) as well.

Or if you just want to improve your facial profile and image, a chin implant is definitely a wise choice for men and women alike.  A chiseled, prominent chin is often associated with strength and confidence, whereas a small, flat chin is often called a “weak chin.”  A well-defined chin helps give balance to the face and is a key part of a person’s profile.  Dr. Jan Zemplenyi at Bel-Red Center for Aesthetic Surgery in Bellevue will use computer imaging to demonstrate the pleasing effect of a chin implant on the balance of the rest of your face.  We see people from all over the Seattle area who are so thrilled that they underwent mentoplasty because their facial appearance improves so dramatically using just a small implant!

Following a small incision, the implant is inserted just below the skin of the chin.  The implant is made of synthetic material that feels so much like the tissue naturally found in the chin that most people can’t tell the difference.  The implant is available in a wide variety of sizes and shapes so you can find one that fits your face.

After surgery you’ll have a dressing that stays in place for about three days.  There will be some mild tenderness but at the Bel-Red Center for Aesthetic Surgery, Dr. Jan Zemplenyi will prescribe medicine to make you comfortable. Chewing may be limited so expect to be on a soft food diet for a few days following the surgery.  The discomfort tends to last only a few days.  Many of our patients in the Seattle area can resume normal daily activities in less than a week.

You’ll be surprised at how the shape of the chin has a remarkable influence on the overall appearance of the face and neck. For the next few days, take notice of people’s chins around you. It doesn’t take long to notice how much of a difference the chin can make on a person’s facial appearance and their overall image.  You’ll see that improving the shape of the chin can have positive effects on other areas that you might not anticipate.

If you live in the Bellevue or Seattle area, contact our office today and we’ll be happy to discuss all the options available to you.

Liposuction for Your Arms - Swan Center for Plastic Surgery

Liposuction is a safe and effective choice for removing excess fat in the arms, especially for women who want to avoid working out to the point of over-developed biceps or triceps.  Liposuction can improve both the size and the shape of your arms.

Liposuction is the removal of fat cells using an extraction technique, and recovery time is minimal. The upper arms are an excellent area to target with liposuction, and the results are long lasting.

Only through an in-person consultation can your Atlanta plastic surgeon determine whether or not you are a good candidate for arm liposuction.  The technique you and your Atlanta plastic surgeon choose for your arm liposuction procedure is an important but secondary factor to your overall satisfaction of your outcome.

Most techniques are good just so long as they are being performed by a highly qualified and skilled plastic surgeon. If you are ready to inquire about liposuction of the arms, call the Swan Center for Plastic Surgery in Atlanta today to schedule a consultation.

Preparing for your Tummy Tuck - Dr. Larry Schlesinger

Being prepared, both mentally and physically before undergoing a major surgery is very important. Your preparedness could end up sparing you a lot of inconvenience, discomfort, and difficulties. Depending on your personal habits you could be preparing for your tummy tuck up to three weeks before the actual procedure.

Safety trumps everything! Your Honolulu plastic surgeon wants you to have a safe and successful tummy tuck procedure so you will need to take all necessary precautions to make sure you are in the best possible health before your procedure. If you smoke, your Honolulu plastic surgeon will require that you quit smoking at least three weeks prior to your tummy tuck, and maybe even sooner. Smoking greatly increases the risk of complications during and after your tummy tuck, and also significantly slows the healing process. If you are taking any supplements let your Honolulu surgeon know. They may recommend that you refrain from taking certain vitamins or supplements just before your surgery, or an alternative for them. Maintaining a healthy diet and active lifestyle before and after your tummy tuck is best for optimal results.

An exciting life event like a tummy tuck procedure seems to sneak up on people faster than they expected. Do not let that be you! Go to the store and get everything you will need during your healing process and down time. Necessities include Q-tips, comfortably loose clothing, a removable shower head, and a shower chair. Honolulu plastic surgeons also recommend that you stock up on healthy, easy access foods, your favorite movies, books, and anything else that you will enjoy while you are healing.

Arrange for someone to drive you home after your procedure and to stay with you for three nights post-operatively for your safety. Prepare to be very limited for about two to three weeks and be sure to clear your calendar and any prior obligations that involve any strenuous activity.

When you schedule your tummy tuck consultation with Dr. Schlesinger in Honolulu you can ask any and all remaining questions you may have about the tummy tuck procedure.

Post-Facelift Comforts - Dr. Ali Sajjadian

Here in the Newport Beach, Costa Mesa area we’ve helped numerous men and women recover from facelifts and other plastic surgery procedures in their own homes and in hotel rooms.  Through these experiences, we’ve discovered certain comforts that make recovery as easy and comfortable as possible:

1. Reusable gel ice packs. Gel ice packs are gentler on bruised or sore body parts than regular ice because of their smooth edges and the packs don’t drip unlike ice packs.
2. Antibiotic Ointment and Aquaphor.  Antibiotic ointment will ensure that any incision sites or other wounds don’t get infected.  Aquaphor is a thick, soothing moisturizer, and is great for lips after a facelift or other facial procedure.
3. Bendable straws.  Facelifts and other procedures may make drinking straight out of a cup difficult because of all the swelling. Straws can make it a lot easier to drink right after a facelift.
4. Crackers and broth-based soups. Many of our clients in Costa Mesa plastic surgery patients opt for soothing, bland, comfort foods for the first few days following a facelift.  These types of foods can help with nausea and the decreased post-anesthesia appetite. After having face work done, like a facelift, crunchy foods will be challenging, so stick with soups and smoothies for the first week or so.
5. Stock up on a wide selection of juices and soda. In our experience, it helps to have something with a bit of taste in what you’re drinking when you’re taking medication.  Ginger ale and Sprite are also helpful with any nausea you may have from anesthesia or the pain meds.
6. Comfy pajama’s and socks. You’ll likely not want to get out of pajamas and lounge wear for a while after recovering from a facelift or other major surgery.
7. Prescriptions and other instruction from your surgeon. Your surgeon will almost certainly prescribe you pain medication along with an antibiotic.  Be sure to have your prescriptions filled a few days ahead of time so that in case your pharmacy has to order medication.  You don’t want to be running around town the day of your surgery trying to get your prescription filled.
8. Most importantly, follow all the instructions given at the pre-op visit and discharge.
