Is Your Rhinoplasty Surgeon Any Good?

You may not have Elisha Cuthbert’s wide nose, or Janet Jackson’s perfect [cosmetically enhanced] nose. The elegant Roman nose too may not be the one you have been born with. But these famous noses may not necessarily be the noses that will gain you fame in your workplace after getting them cosmetically enhanced. What is considered beautiful by some may turn out to be downright ugly from someone else’s viewpoint. A ‘nose job’ is a procedure that patients would consider getting when a rich lifestyle commanded them to look picture perfect. However, the health- improving options offered by a Rhinoplasty are what are being taken into account as well by more aware patients. Besides tackling breathing problems, Rhinoplasty also enables a patient to correct birth defects.

When going ahead with the decision of getting a ‘
nose job’, consulting a surgeon certified with a board like the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) [the largest plastic surgery specialty organization in the world] is recommended. Discuss the complications and after effects that may arise post surgery with him. How qualified your doctor is, directly influences the intensity of the complications that may arise, which could be anything from a nosebleed to a reaction to anesthesia. Get a Rhinoplasty because you want to improve your nose, not perfect it.

You can either find a good doctor on the internet at the sites of the respective boards, or you can contact the
Plastic Surgery Institute of California by clicking here. We are members of the ASPS. If you are considering a Rhinoplasty, you can request a consultation with any of our highly experienced surgeons at locations like Beverly Hills, Newport Beach, Pasadena, San Diego and Huntington Beach. They can help guide you through the decision making process and answer any questions you may have.

Save Face With Rhytidectomy:

The health benefits offered by alternative healing methods like progressive relaxation, meditation, yoga, chiropractic medicine, etc. have multitudes believing in the sensibility that you are as old as you look. Though there are many critics for this branch of medicine, science proper is constantly discovering and finding innovations for methods of prolonging life. Over the counter drugs and the beauty business too have played no mean role in furthering this notion. An individual is not old at 50 anymore, he is ‘ancient’. The ‘new’ old age creeps in on a person at 30 years of age as is believed by an entire generation fed on Hollywood beauties and dazzle. The rise of the gym culture too has people running the treadmill to a healthier body. It’s a race against time, and everyone’s running in it. Where is your place in this race?

You may have joined the health revolution with your body feeling like a million bucks, but does your face match up to your body’s oomph? If you have followed every avenue to a healthier body and
lifestyle, chances are you may have already heard of a cosmetic procedure called rhytidectomy. More commonly known as a ‘face lift’, rhytidectomy assures long term benefits which beauty creams and over the counter drugs only aspire to fulfill.

Natural aging of the face occurs due to factors like exposure to extreme weather, stress, hormones, etc. The area between the eyebrows, around the mouth, the corners of the eyes and the neck are main areas which face the brunt of such damaging factors.
Rhytidectomy, though not holding a promise to freeze time, offers the hope of slowing time up for you. It removes excess fat, tightens underlying muscles and re-drapes the neck and facial skin.

Procedures like a
forehead lift, eyelid surgery and nose reshaping are supplementary procedures which also can be opted for in order to attain a younger look. At the Plastic Surgery Institute, we offer all these procedures besides rhytidectomy. Our consultants in Beverly Hills, Newport Beach, Pasadena, San Diego and Huntington Beach are highly experienced and capable of providing you with answers to all your questions.

Exceptional Surgeons And Exceptional Services:

Your plastic surgeon’s dexterity in being able to provide you with the latest tried and tested developments in the domain of plastic surgery is an essential function which any leading cosmetic surgery practice has to be able to provide you with. That extra radiance can thus be easily assured.

Studies like geographical differences, differing laws and stances on cosmetic surgery, patient surveys, innovations, demographics, religious beliefs, etc. along with avoiding misinformation, also allow doctors to provide their patients with
customized service. For instance, a recent survey conducted by cosmetics manufacturer Dover, revealed that 27% of Arab women between the age of 18 and 64 would consider plastic surgery to improve their looks. There are around 3,000 plastic surgeons practicing in Tehran, Iran alone. Such is the popularity of this branch of medicine in the Middle East.
Ask your clinic for any free consultations or orientations which you can avail of to better understand what you are going to under go. Establishing a patient- doctor trust is an important aspect of pre- surgery procedures which you have to take care to follow.
At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, we pay a lot of attention to detail. Personalized attention combined with the latest technologies is provided to each and every patient so that they can evaluate their requirements.

Plastic Surgery Mistake #1 - Choosing The Wrong Place:

A BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat and 1Xtra TXU survey into how young Britons feel about their bodies found that more than 50% of female respondents said they would consider having plastic surgery. With similar trends reflected in American society as well, cosmetic surgery is an option many are taking recourse to.

Its rising popularity has got more and more doctors trying to meet the demand for this specialty that has become an integral part of mainstream medicine. There is a possibility that any licensed physician can call himself or herself a cosmetic surgeon, consequently the importance of finding a properly trained and certified surgeon is paramount. Choosing a doctor who’s a member of the
American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) is the first step. A certified member is qualified to manage the complications and handle the risks that might arise from plastic surgery.

It is important to get your homework done when selecting a cosmetic surgeon. His
credentials, his experience, etc. have to be valid. More often than not, general physicians or close friends are known to recommend a cosmetic surgeon. In such a situation, do not aim for appeasing their concern; instead make sure that it is your queries that are appeased. Do not hesitate to run a background check on the surgeon’s credentials. Scars are the inevitable result of surgery since they are the body's natural response in the healing process. But they might be the least of your problems if your surgeon lacks the skills to perform the surgery well and deal with the post operation procedures.

Our qualified and experienced surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California
will be able to guide you through procedures like Rhinoplasty, breast reduction and augmentation, tummy tucks and nose and face lifts with ease. You can be sure you have chosen the right place to make your dreams of renewing your body come true.

Confidence And Health With Plastic Surgery:

Scenario 1: Delia is relaxing after a hard day at work with a glass of cranberry juice, when her son comes in from school. She asks him what’s happening in school lately. He informs her about the PTA meeting which was coming up the following month. Delia volunteers to attend, but the son waves her off saying that he will take his dad along, as the teachers prefer speaking to dad who looks younger and more approachable. She sadly consents and looks forward to receiving the news about the PTA from her husband.

Scenario 2: It’s been another hard day at work. A year since she opted for a
Facelift, Delia is lost in a pleasant glow of contentment. Her son comes skipping in from school and happily announces that she simply has to attend the next PTA meeting for him. Delia happily agrees and looks forward to telling her husband all about it later.

Cosmetic surgery is long past the stage where it used to be viewed as a status symbol and monopoly of the rich and famous. It is no longer a
lifestyle statement.

Besides a boost in self esteem, cosmetic surgery is also able to provide an individual with an option to improve their health.

Get Beautified With Cosmetic Surgery:

An intense sense of aesthetics and proportion is what sets plastic surgeons apart from the rest of the practitioners of the medical profession. To mold, shape, and sculpt is what this branch of medicine intrinsically deals with. From being applied by the ancient Indians for purposes of skin grafting to being applied notoriously by the famous Michael Jackson for lightening his skin, cosmetic surgery sure has come a long way.

The demand for solutions to
cosmetic problems have in no mean way been accelerated by the emphasis on beauty and presentation, the media interest in the lives of the newsmakers, and popular culture which have ultimately led to a more style sensitive populace. And it is just not limited to women, who seem to form a majority group of those turning to the knife. With major brands like Estee Lauder, Biotherm and Clinique coming up with excellent skin care ranges for men, men too have leapt on the beauty bandwagon and are serious users of cosmetic surgery procedures.

Though quite a lot is possible these days with the various options available to those desiring
cosmetic surgery, it is important to be realistic about the options you have recourse to and the results you are hoping to achieve. A new look, while changing your appearance physically also has repercussions on your emotional persona. Procedures like Rhinoplasty, Breast reduction and augmentation, face and nose lifts and tummy tucks often lead to a change in outlook and ultimately in personality.

At the
Plastic Surgery Institute of California, our surgeons provide you with the option of being able to weave your dreams of a beautiful you. The innovations are endless, and so are the possibilities.

Teens And Plastic Surgery: When Is It Appropriate?

The recent addition to youth channel MTV’s pool of uber cool shows, titled “MTV I Want a Famous Face”, documents the transformations of twelve young people aiming to look like the movie or rock stars that they idolize. The glamour business is one of the foremost propagators and followers of the entire cosmetic surgery revolution. Impressionable teenagers, who make up a majority of their fan following, are the ones who are more exposed to the implications of cosmetic surgery and the seemingly deceptive promise it seems to hold in turning their everyday world around.

Common disfigurements teenagers opt to correct include nose reshaping, protruding ears, overly large breasts, asymmetrical breasts, severe acne and scarring. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons [ASPS], over 333,000 people 18 years and younger had plastic surgery in 2005, up from about 306,000 in 2000. There is a section of teens that also opt for surgery procedures like augmentation, mammoplasty, reduction mammoplasty, Rhinoplasty, and liposuction. According to a survey by Bliss magazine, four in ten teenage girls have considered plastic surgery. Bliss editor Chantelle Horton said the survey results were a "21st century tragedy".

While cosmetic surgery is a relatively safe option for anyone to go for, the mindset with which a teenager sets up an appointment with a plastic surgeon is very important. Adapting cosmetic surgery in order to correct disfigurements is a good reason for taking recourse to plastic surgery. It is when cosmetic surgery is turned to for reasons of social acceptance by teenagers, and filial acceptance by parents, when the resulting implications are something that the parents have to take into consideration along with the doctor.

There is no specific age as such for an individual to undergo plastic surgery where correction of disfigurement is concerned. However, if cosmetic enhancement is what is desired by a patient, then the patient’s emotional maturity has to be carefully evaluated by the surgeon. If the patient is below
18 years of age, parental consent is an absolute requisite for surgery of any kind.

A good candidate for plastic surgery:

Am I a good candidate for surgery?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions from people around the globe to surgeons. The answer is just as simple as the question.

An irresolute patient is not a good contender for plastic surgery. A patient with unrealistic goals also contributes to not be a good applicant for surgery.

People with health problems like diabetes, hypertension, lung disease, heart disease, high cholesterol, arthritis, emphysema don’t generally form good candidates for cosmetic surgery. An emaciated, severely depressed, corpulent or someone who is a chain smoker or heavy drinker does not make a good applicant for surgery.

Most plastic and cosmetic surgeons will ask potential patients a sequence of questions upon their original. The idea of asking the questions is to calculate whether the patient is genuinely bearing in mind plastic surgery to look and feel in good health, or if the patient is in quest of plastic surgery as a means of camouflaging emotional suffering.

At Plastic surgery Institute of California, we help you evaluate your goals and help you decide whether or not you should be ensuing cosmetic surgery.
