Nip This Tuck That

10 ways to look fabulous this Holiday Season.

The holidays are fast approaching and very soon you’ll be at family gatherings, office parties and other social functions where you’ll want to look your very best. Here are 10 sure fired ways to wow them this holiday season.

1. If you have sagging skin of the face and neck but can’t take 2-3 weeks off work to recover or aren’t interested in an extensive face lift and neck lift taking upwards of 4-6 hours of surgery time and anesthesia…the Minimal incision face and neck lift may be just the thing. Based on the same principle as our more extensive Facial Contour(R) Facelift, the “Celebrity Lift” and the “Geometric Neck Lift” are designed to have very small incisions, limited tissue dissection (which means rapid recovery and virtually no time off from work), underlying muscle layer trimmed and tightened with excess skin removal…and best of all this procedure can be performed without anesthesia. The procedure takes about 90 minutes and when combined with Radiesse Injections to shape the cheek area, this procedure has the ability to make you look 10 years younger. Most patients return to work a day later. The Celebrity Lift uses dissolveable sutures and many patients fly home after several days.

2. Cheek Augmentation. Full shapely cheeks make a woman’s face appear soft, feminine and attractive. Think Halle Berry and Jessica Alba. Cheek Augmentation can be performed using:
a. Cheek Implants (read more here:) http://www.drfpalmer.com/CheekImplants.html

or with Radiesse Injections (see link above for more info). The benefits of Radiesse Injections are: It’s an office procedure, minimal bruising and swelling which is typically gone the next day and the shape of the Cheeks are obtained instantly with this molding paste. Radiesse also works great to shape chins for Chin Augmentation, fill in the NLF’s and for creating a more angular jawline (in men).

Rhinoplasty and Nasal Trauma:

I’ve received numerous questions about hitting, bumping or injuring the nose after a Rhinoplasty and I felt the following information would be useful. It is very true that your nose is quite vulnerable after Rhinoplasty. It can remain so for weeks depending on what was done to your nose during the Rhinoplasty. Here are some helpful tips to remember:

1. Avoid any contact during the first month following your Rhinoplasty. Avoid sports and horsing around with friends over this period. Should your nose get bumped or hit hard enough for it to hurt, you see stars, bleeding or significant swelling occurs…immediately contact the plastic surgeon who performed your Rhinoplasty for specific instructions and advice.

2. If you haven’t had a Rhinoplasty and you are hit in the nose hard enough to cause the symptoms described above, it’s a good bet that something has been torn, craked or broken in your nose. This does not mean that you will need a Rhinoplasty but you should: Go to an ENT or plastic surgeon in the first 24 hours to have the nose examined and evaluated. An X Ray only reveals whether the nasal bones were broken or not …the problem is that much of the nose is cartilage which does not show up on X Ray. The most important thing after nasal trauma is to rule out a septal hematoma.

The septum can die in as little as 24 hours after nasal trauma and if this occurs it will cause permanent nasal deformity. Only an experienced doctor such as an ENT or a plastic surgeon will most likely be able to examine your nose and identify whether or not a septal hematoma exists. I believe that most ER doctors do not have the same ability and thus a septal hematoma may be overlooked in the ER unless an ENT or Plastic Surgeon specialist is called to see you.

If a septal hematoma has been ruled out, the nose can be treated expectantly with ice and pain medication. Over the following several weeks, the aesthetics of the nose can be re-evaluated because what looked crooked at 3 days may appear straight at 3 weeks. I am not an advocate of immediate closed nasal reductions (where they place a metal object up your nose and attempt to reduce broken nasal bones or torn cartilage). I believe this to be a barbaric procedure that has little chance of correcting the aesthetic problems related to a nasal fracture. I believe it’s better to have an initial nasal examination to rule out a septal hematoma and then follow the injury at 3 weeks at which time a Rhinoplasty can be performed to correct the problems should they still exist.

Skincare, what’s it all about. I recall several years back when I first tackled the problem of formulating effective skincare products, there seemed to be a maze of misinformation out there in the industry.

The other day I ran across the following series of questions that I was asked by a wholesale agent who was considering our products. I think it’s great reading for anyone interested in skincare products.

Great Cheeks…that’s today’s topic. Everyone’s trying to improve their appearance but frequently overlook the number one aesthetic beauty feature of the face…you guessed it , the Cheeks.

You can have beautiful Cheeks with Cheek Implants:
(read more here: http://www.drfpalmer.com/CheekImplants.html a must read for anyone looking for Cheek Augmentation using Implants). But you can have more attractive Cheeks without Cheek Implants and surgery, although there’s certainly nothing wrong with Cheek Implants…I’ve been using them in patients for over 20 years….but if you want something quick, effective and less invasive then Radiesse is a sure bet.

Radiesse is a soft tissue filler that I use as a molding paste to shape the Cheeks into a more attractive shape.
(read more here: http://www.drfpalmer.com/radiesse-injections.html )
An office visit, the Radiesse is injected, molded with very little swelling and bruising.

Next time….now that you know the Cheeks are important in making the face appear: young, old, male, female, attractive or less so…what shape should they be?
