Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery “Beauty Tip of the Day” from Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon Francis R Palmer, III, MD.

 I have analyzed Facial beauty and found that it is defined by three aesthetic facial features.  These 3, top beauty features, account for roughly 92 % of what makes a face look young, old, female, male, attractive or less so!  I call this the “Beauty Trifecta”.  The top 3 beauty features and their respective % of facial beauty are:  

 #1: The shape of the cheeks (75%)

 #2: The shape of the eyebrows and eyes (10%)

 #3: The shape and proportion of the lips (7%)

 I have defined beauty and call these beauty rules my “Palmer Beauty Principles.”  You can read more at http://www.drfpalmer.com/palmer-beauty-principles.html

Ashton’s meeting went very well last night about collaboration on song(s).+�-� Things are moving quickly and hopefully very soon, you’ll all be able to hear her new songs.+�-� Just remember, you read all about it and heard it here first.

+�-�Rhinoplasty Part Four will cover the topic of “Revision Rhinoplasty.”+�-� In my Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery practice, Revision Rhinoplasty is as much a part as Primary Rhinoplasty, Facelifts. Minilifts and Breast Augmentation.+�-� Everything I wrote about Rhinoplasty applies to Revision Rhinoplasty with one exception!+�-� Revision Rhinoplasty is a quantum level more complex and difficult technically for the Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon to perform…

+�-�When I approach a potential Revision Rhinoplasty case…when I think about what I can do as a Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon with about 20+�-�years of experience doing Rhinoplastry Surgery.+�-� In Revision Rhinoplasty there are several important rules to follow as a Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon:+�-� Worst case scenario:

1.+�-�Little normal anatomy will exist within the nose.

2. Excess scar tissue and lack of tissue covering within the nose will exist.

3. Have a clear plan of what you’ll do if you find various things wrong aesthetically once the nasal structures are revealed…ie. tip cartilages twisted, various pieces of cartilage are freely floating or there are deviations or fractures of the nasal bones.

+�-�In Revision Rhinoplasty, I often adopt a more conservative approach to the nasal structures.+�-� I try to save and modify the nasal bones and tip cartilages instead of tearing everything apart and replacing them, as is frequently done in a primary or first time Rhinoplasty.+�-� Why?+�-� Because, the nasal tissues can only take so much surgery…so much intervention and there are very real limitations to a PLastic and Cosmetic Surgeon if he/she tries to be overly aggressive to a nose that has previously undergone multiple Rhinoplasties.+�-� Things could go terribly wrong.+�-� The skin could die, cartilages could die and the result, of this, is a severly deformed nose that basically will never look normal…forget about good!+�-�

So, my staff is instructed to tell everyone that inquires about Revision Rhinoplasty to ask one all important question…..”do you have any ear cartilage”?+�-� Sounds strange but what we are asking is has a previous Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon used one or both conchal cartilages during a previous Rhinoplasty or Revision Rhinoplasty Surgery?+�-� If there is at least one ear cartilage still intact, I have cartilage to rebuild the nasal tip.+�-� OK, I jumped ahead a little bit, let me digress.

+�-�In my Beverly Hills Practice of Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery, I perform a substantial amount of Rhinoplasties and Revision Rhinoplasties from patients that come here to Beverly Hills from all over the world.+�-� I have done many very difficult Revision Rhinoplasty cases and I know that there are two major areas of concern when thinking about Revision Rhinoplasty.+�-� The first is the nasal tip area: Is the nasal tip crooked, weak, bulbous, droopy etc.+�-� This translates to a problem with the nasal tip cartilages which may be uneven, or completely gone…and I have seen all that and then some.

+�-�The second area is the nasal bridge: does it have a hump, is it scooped out, is it crooked, are these any grafts and if so what are they made of…and are they dissolving partially?+�-� Once again, I have seen all of these scenarios and more.

+�-�In Revision Rhinoplasty, it’s all about making the nose look as natural and “unoperated” as possible.+�-� That means making things as even and symmetric as you can get them with an adequate amount of tip rotation, size and support.+�-� Since, I frequently can’t remove any more tissue from this area (because too much or all of the cartilage is already gone) placing a graft to take over the support and shape of the nasal tip is+�-�frequently required.

+�-�There are many different types of material that are used for tip grafts each with their pros and cons.+�-� Over almost 20 years, I have learned what works and what doesn’t…in my opinion.+�-� The premier nasal tip graft is one fashioned from conchal cartilage.+�-� It’s just the right strength and thickness to give the tip a very aesthetically pleasing shape.+�-� For the nasal bridge, I prefer a certain type of dorsal graft that’s made of silastic or solid silicone.+�-� No liquid or gel to leak out this implant will last forever and has just the right shape and strength for the nasal bridge.+�-�

+�-�No matter, well almost no matter, what has happened to your nose in the past, these two things can often give marked aesthetic improvement with a Revision Rhinoplasty….I know…I’ve done it many, many times.

+�-�Had a very interesting meeting+�-�today with a production company about a new Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery TV show.+�-� It features a Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon, such as myself, ……….sorry…….the idea is a secret for now!+�-� I like this Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Show more than many because it allows people to see the real Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery life style and not a made up representation.

+�-�Have a meeting this week for a possible singing collaboration between Ashton and another singer…..will keep you posted.

+�-�Just a quick reminder…. take care of your skin this summer…use my Cosmeceutical Skin care Products Francis R Beverly Hills ( http://www.frbh.com+�-�) ….and don’t forget the sun screen.

OK, if you missed me on ABC’s talk show “The View”, we have posted the appearance on our website http://www.drfpalmer.com as a quick time movie.+�-� This features our new Minilift called the “Palmer Celebrity Lift”

( http://www.drfpalmer.com/PalmerCelebrityLift.html )+�-�

You can go straight to the video clip here:

( http://www.drfpalmer.com/movie/index.html )

You can also see dramatic before and after pictures of this marvelous new Minilift with little or no recovery that can make you look 10 years younger in 90 minutes or less here:

( http://www.drfpalmer.com/PalmerCelebrityLift.html#Anchor-49575 )

The Celebrity Lift can be performed without anesthesia using novacaine-like injections similar to the kind you get at the dentist. No anesthesia to get out of your system after the facelift….which is a big plus to many patients.

+�-�Ok, in part three of Rhinoplasty 101, I’d like to talk about realistic expectations.+�-� Now that you know a little bit about facial aesthetics from my “Palmer Beauty Principles” ( http://www.drfpalmer.com/palmer-beauty-principles.html ) and about Rhinoplasty Surgery ( http://www.drfpalmer.com/Rhinoplasty.html ) it’s time to talk about the types of things that you can and can’t expect from your Rhinoplasty Procedure.

+�-�Rhinoplasty has the ability, in general, to improve the appearance of your nose two points.+�-� That means if your nose is rated from 1 to 10 (10 being a perfect nose) and your’s is a 7 before the Rhinoplasty…the best that you can expect is to+�-�improve 2 additional points or a 9 out of 10.+�-� This is a general rule but is typically true.+�-� This also assummes the best case scenario:+�-� best trained, aesthetically gifted and experienced Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon who is a Rhinoplasty Surgeon and that the case turns out as well as possible.

+�-�Rhinoplasty will not…..make you gorgeous…unless you already are and the nose is distracting attention away from your other features.+�-� This was the case with Ashlee Simpson’s Rhinoplasty ( nose job ).+�-� Ashlee Simpson’s+�-�transformation is dramatic because her cheeks, lips and eyes were not noticed for the length and distracting features of her nose.+�-� The moment that a Closed Rhinioplasty was used to remove the nose as a distraction…Ashlee Simpson’s true beauty was revealed.+�-� A gifted, experienced Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon who has experience performing Rhinoplasties (nose jobs) would have been able to see the transformation in his/her+�-�long before Ashlee Simpson had her Closed Rhinoplasty Surgery (nose job).+�-� But if Ashlee Simpson didn’t have that hidden beauty+�-�before the Rhinoplasty (nose job) it sure wouldn’thave been there after the Closed Rhinoplasty.+�-� Noses do not make people beautiful in and of themselves….rather a sleek and refined nose allows the cheeks, eyes and lips to reveal your true beauty.

+�-�If you are interested in seeing whether or not a Rhinoplasty could reveal the hidden beauty in you…I urge you to contact the most experienced Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon that you can find and have a consultation. My office in Beverly Hills+�-�allows patients to e-mail us jpeg’s of their nose for comments at drfpalmer1@aol.com and even offers+�-�internet and phone consultations for a more in depth analysis at 310-652-9583.+�-� In person consults, of course, are always encouraged as nothing takes the place of+�-� a face to face consultation with your surgeon if you can arrange the travel and don’t mind the expense of flying/driving+�-� for the consult.

+�-�Have a happy and safe 4th of July!
