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.
