Augmented Rhinoplasty (Nose Augmentation)

Overview of the surgery:


Augmented Rhinoplasty is very common among Asians and non-Caucasians to correct a flat nose with a round bulbous tip and flaring nostrils. The aim is to build an aesthetically pleasing nasal bridge with an elegant projection and well defined nasal tip, and at the same time narrow the flaring nostril base. An implant is usually used. The implanted material is biocompatible and extremely safe.
Incisions are made inside the rim of the nostrils. Soft tissues of the nose are then separated from the underlying structure to create the appropriate space for nose implant projecting the nasal tip and increase the height of the nose.

Duration of the procedure:
Rhinoplasty generally takes about 1 to 2 hours to complete.
Post operative care:
The nose will be covered with either plaster or a light metal or plastic splint to maintain the position of the nasal bones. You will feel some pain and discomfort at the nose area during the first days after surgery but can be alleviated by medications prescribed.

Recovery period:
Most nose augmentation patients are able to return to school or work after surgery within 2 days. However it will be about 2 weeks you’re entirely healed.

Possible risks and complications:
Rhinoplasty will provide significant improvements in the appearance of the nose for the vast majority of patients although, in occasional cases, a secondary correction may be required. There are risks with all surgical procedures, including infection, nose bleeding, or a reaction to the anesthesia.

Anesthesia use:
Using IV sedation (medicine administered through an IV) and local anesthesia (numbing medication administered in the surgical area)

Hospital admission:
It depends on your preferences as well as your surgeon’s. Augmented Rhinoplasty can be performed on an out patient basis, in the hospital, or in an ambulatory surgical suite.

Preparation before Surgery
  • Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
  • Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
  • You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
  • Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.

Conjunctival Incision Blepharoplasty

Overview of the surgery:
Conjunctival Incision Blepharoplasty is another type of cosmetic procedure used to remove pocket of fat beneath the lower eyelids but not tightening or removing the skin. Incision is made on the inside of the lower eyelid. Excess fat and muscle are removed (no tightening or removing of skin). Incision is closed with self-dissolving sutures or they will heal naturally without sutures.

Duration of the operation:
Conjunctival Blepharoplasty generally takes about one to 2 hours to complete.

Post operative procedure:
After surgery, the physician will lubricate your eyes with ointment to reduce dryness in this area. Your vision may be blurred temporarily from the ointment. The first evening after surgery, you should rest quietly with your head elevated. It will help to apply cold compresses to your eyelids. Your blood pressure should be monitored to avoid bleeding complications that can affect vision. And, although you can be up almost immediately, you should limit your activities.

Recovery period:
In general, bruising and swelling are less than with other types of eyelid surgery, and recovery is rapid. A small amount of residual swelling, however, will persist for some months and resolve very gradually.

Possible risks and complications:
Significant complications from aesthetic eyelid surgery are infrequent. As with any surgical procedure, however, there is always a possibility of infection, or reaction to the anesthesia, bleeding behind the eye, temporary problems with excessive tearing, and decreased sensation in the eyelid, dry eyes, prominence or firmness of the scars, blurred vision, and asymmetry in healing or scarring, difficulty closing eyes completely; in rare cases. You can help minimize certain risks by following the advice and instructions of your plastic surgeon, both before and after your eyelid surgery. Pre-existing conditions can also put you at risk. They include thyroid problems such as hypothyroidism, insufficient tear production or dryness of the eye, elevated blood pressure or other circulatory disorders, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.

Anesthesia use:
Local anesthesia with oral or intravenous sedation

Hospital admission:
It depends on your preferences as well as your surgeon’s. Conjuctival Incision blepharoplasty can be performed on an out patient basis, in the hospital, or in an ambulatory surgical suite.

Preparation before Surgery
  • Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
  • Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
  • You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
  • Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.

Lateral Eyebrow Lift

Overview of the surgery:
Lateral Eyebrow Lift corrects the drooping of the outer brow line. This technique is also known as a temporal brow lift, and addresses sagging around the outside of the eyebrow almost exclusively. Lateral brow lifts can be performed in conjunction with blepharoplasty or other procedures.
During a lateral brow lift, incisions are placed in the hairline at the temples towards the sides of the face. The lateral brow lift removes excess skin, lifting the outer corners of the forehead. Unlike a traditional brow lift, a lateral brow lift will not raise the middle of the brow, but it will somewhat alleviate crow's feet (the creasing at the outer corners of the eyes). Lateral brow lifts are ideally suited to prospective patients who are only concerned with the drooping of the ends of the eyebrow.

Duration of the operation:
The procedure normally takes about 20-30 minutes.

Post operative care:
When your procedure is completed, your forehead may be taped and your head may be loosely wrapped with a soft compressive dressing usually for 1-2 days to minimize swelling and bruising. A thin tube may be present to drain any excess blood or fluid that may collect under the skin. You may experience little or no postoperative pain for the first few days. Analgesic medications for pain and antibiotics to prevent infection will be prescribed.

Recovery Period:
Swelling in the eyelids can be profound but is usually short lived. Most patients can go back to work in about a week. Sutures or staples maybe remove at 5-7 days post op.

Possible risk and complications:
Complications are rare; however, there are risks associated with any medical procedure. Some patients may not be able to move their eyebrows or forehead. Scar formation and permanent hair loss within the scar area may occur. Permanent lack of sensation at the incision line is also a rare complication. Infection, bleeding, and other minor complications are possible.

Anesthesia use:
Most brow lifts are performed under local anesthesia with sedation.

Hospital admission:
Lateral Brow Lift can be performed on an out patient basis or in the hospital under local or general anesthesia. You and your surgeon will discuss preferences.

Preparation before Surgery:
  • Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
  • Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
  • You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
  • Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.
