Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty:

Continuing with our Holiday Glam top 10, we’ll discuss Rhinoplasty. If you’d like to improve the shape of your nose, you might consider Rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty takes on average 2-6 months to see the results in a primary (first time) closed Rhinoplasty. Open Rhinoplasty or Revision Rhinoplasty is much more complicated and can take a year or longer for the final results, so you may want to plan ahead if you want to have this procedure and look great this holiday season.

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).

Stay tuned for more………

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.

Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery “Tip of the Day” from Dr. Francis R Palmer, III Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon and creator of the “What’s Your Number” concept.

I have several things that I’d like to discuss today.

1. We continue to see members of the military and are proud to offer discounts to these brave men and women who serve our country.

2. Rhinoplasty was very common for us this summer and more importantly…the post Rhinoplasty nasal manipulations that I have evry one of my Rhinoplasty patients do starting at 1 month post Rhinoplasty. These manipulations take less than 5 minutes a day, once a day and will improve the look of the nose and I believe, the final result. Unfortunately, medical ethics preclude me from advising fresh Rhinoplasty patients of other surgeons on how to do these manipualtions. The direction must come for the Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon who performed your Rhinoplasty.

3. The “Celebrity Lift” continues to gain popularity with patients from all over the world and why not…they can look 10 years younger in 90 mintes or less with no anesthesia required.

Ashley Simpson’s new look is said to be
the result of plastic surgery.
Other pop stars that did or didn’t?IT was the pale green and pink striped bikini that did it.

When Sandra Cornier, a mother of two from Brooklyn, looked at a recent photo of herself taken at Manhattan Beach, N.Y., she didn’t like what she saw. She had been nursing her son for 11 months, and now she could barely fill out the bathing suit top.

She made a decision: She would have breast implant surgery, and right away, because she wanted to be cozy in her favorite bikini by the end of the summer. She did not have the cash available, but she was willing to borrow.

“I just wanted to proportion myself out and look like I did before I had children, simple as that,” said Ms. Cornier, 33, who is married and works for a government agency. She took a loan for $10,800. “I did not want to wait two or three years to save up for surgery.” Cosmetic medicine used to be the province of the rich and celebrated who would pay cash or write a check up front for their tummy tucks and eyelid lifts. (Such procedures are not typically covered by health insurance.) But in the last five years, with the advent of reality shows like “Extreme Makeover” and the popularization of nonsurgical treatments like lasers and wrinkle injections, people with blue- or pink-collar incomes and Beverly Hills ideals are embracing vanity medicine.
