Smell with a difference:

Nasal surgery is done by patients to correct a defect of the nose along with reshaping and resizing of the nose.

Nose surgery is a type of reconstructive and cosmetic surgery which can be executed outside as well as inside the nose. Nasal surgery is usually to improve breathing, correct congenital or acquired deformities, change size or shape of nose (cosmetic), narrow the nostrils, change the angle between the nose and lips & to repair nasal injuries.

Incisions are made inside the nose to avoid visible scars. The procedure requires about 60-90 minutes. A splint is placed over the nose and is left usually for one week. Healing is a slow and gradual process. Some swelling may be present for months, especially at the tip of the nose.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, expert surgeons at Beverly Hills & Los Angeles, guide you to build realistic expectations & a positive approach so that you can achieve maximum benefit from your surgery.

Lip - licious:

Full lips with an accentuated border have been associated with beauty and youth for virtually all women from all sections since the beginning of recorded history. Beauty has always been a matter of pride, earlier and today is no different.

Full lips complete the look of your face, balancing it from the middle. With age, lips become thin and the upper part of the lip becomes more and more apparent.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California suggests lip augmentation surgery to restore the balance on your face, contributing to the attractive appearance of your face.

One can opt for different techniques used for lip augmentation which include:

• Injectables, whose effects lasts for 4-6 months.
• Dermal Grafts are protein frameworks processed from human skin which mold with the patient's own tissue. They last longer than injectables and can result in a permanent appearance.
• Synthetic Implants such as "soft-form" yield permanent results.
• Surgical Procedures to shorten the long upper lip increase the fullness and projection. In some instances, reduction of lip fullness can also be performed.

These procedures are successfully carried out at our advanced surgical institute, with the team of expert cosmetic surgeons in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles.

Chin Augmentation: A Balanced Face:

Chin Augmentation is a common procedure which brings balance to the facial structure by way of correcting a weak chin due to innate deficiency, age-related bone restoration or facial trauma, resulting in a more vibrant facade.

A weak chin makes a normal nose emerges large and an already prominent nose seem even larger. It may also give the appearance of a 'fleshy' neck.

At our advanced surgical institute, we understand that while chin enhancement can be a relatively simple procedure, it requires good verdict, knack and a proficient aesthetic eye. We have researched and specially selected chin augmentation surgeons, who can give you the great results.

Chin Augmentation surgery generally comprises up to two weeks of swelling and pain. At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, the practice is normally executed in two 15-minute sessions, which take place about two weeks apart. Patients’ own bone is donated from ribs and from part of the pelvis (the ilium). One may experience two to three days of minor swelling and tenderness. The result of Chin Augmentation Surgery lasts for about two years.

Successful Chin Augmentation surgery is a result of good affinity between a patient and a surgeon. Faith, rooted in realistic expectations and exacting medical expertise is what develops at our advanced surgical institute, in the consulting stages before surgery.

Whether you are interested in chin surgery for functional or cosmetic reasons, the Plastic Surgery Institute of California located at Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, understands that your choice of a qualified facial plastic surgeon is extremely important.

Ear correction:

Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, is typically done to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to moderate the size of large ears. Few unfortunate people grow up with prominent ears, receiving teases and scoffs.

In order to avoid this, the Plastic Surgery Institute of California suggests ear correction surgery, preferably when the child is between ages four to 5 years. Ear surgery, by and large takes about two to three hours. However, complicated procedures may take longer. The problem determines the duration of the operation.

There are two ways that cosmetic surgeons go about this surgical procedure. With one of the more common techniques, the surgeon makes a small incision in the back of the ear to expose the ear cartilage. He will then sculpt the cartilage and bend it back toward the head. Non-removable stitches may be used to help maintain the new shape. Occasionally, the surgeon will remove a larger piece of cartilage to provide a more natural-looking fold when the surgery is complete.

Another technique involves a similar incision in the back of the ear. Skin is removed and stitches are used to fold the cartilage back on itself to reshape the ear without removing cartilage.

Ear correction surgery will leave a faint scar in the back of the ear that will fade with time. Even when only one ear appears to protrude, surgery is usually performed on both ears for a better balance.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California helps you build a positive approach towards the surgery. At our advanced surgical institute, we have the best plastic surgeons in the industry at are work centers located at Beverly Hills and Los Angeles.

AGE, NOW REVERSIBLE!

“I want to die young at a ripe old age”- if this is the passion you share; a face lift is the keyword for you.

We all know aging is an irreversible process. Genetics, hormones, skin types and texture, over exposure to the sun, diet and general health, etc. effect aging. With aging, the elastic tissue of the skin weakens and lines deepen around the mouth and between the eyebrows. Wrinkles take place of the earlier tight & fresh skin. The sagging eye brows & drooping eyelids start defining your age.

A facelift surgery can shed 5-10 years in your life.

The facelift is becoming one of the most popular facial rejuvenation procedures requested. The facelift is inspired by the idea of removing the excess skin that is loose and sagging on the face and the neck, plus to tighten the underlying tissue. The excess skin that is removed never returns, which inturn keeps you looking younger for a longtime. However the skin continues to age but this sagging skin can be controlled with a minor tuck-up procedure.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we can produce beautiful, natural-looking results. With meticulous attention to tightening and repositioning muscle and skin, in addition to sculpting and repositioning facial fat, our cosmetic surgeons create a rested, youthful, long-lasting natural-looking result.
