Suture Up Safely For Your Rhinoplasty & Avoid Infections

You probably must have heard quite a lot about the MRSA or staph infections that are the bane of health care providers around the globe.

The staph bacterium occurs on everyone's skin. The trouble begins when they find a break in the skin like a pore or a cut or in the case of nose enhancement surgery, an incision. Once the incision or wound is discovered by the bacteria, the infection takes root.

Healthcare providers and clinics employ various methods to prevent the onset of the MRSA or staph bacteria and play crucial attention to the practice of hygiene in the operating and treatment areas. Sometimes basic soap and water is all it takes to keep the germs at bay.

In a nose surgery procedure doctors at our advanced surgical institute practice the various steps of hygiene that are laid down and make use of sterilized equipment for the surgery. The suture area especially is kept clean and Antibacterial Sutures are made use of.

Developed by Ethicon, a division of Johnson & Johnson, these sutures are specially treated to kill the bacteria on site and hamper their spread.

MRSA is less known to respond to usual antibiotics making its treatment and prevention tricky. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California is aware of the risks that come with nose surgery or any other operation for that matter and take the appropriate steps to minimize these risks.

Each of our facilities is accredited by the AAAHC and this certification supports our professional and ethical outlook. Visit us to know more.

Nosey News - Insured Noses

As hilarious as it may sound there are people who have actually gone and insured their noses.

 

Dutch wine-maker Ilja Gort probably claims the highest amount of money for his insured nose with £3.9 million. In a profession where the senses of smell and taste are valued as much as the wines they sample, this is a completely justified move.

 

Insured with help from Lloyd's, the wine-maker's nose is considered insurable because it is the basis of occupational success for him- a point which the insurance giant deems vital. Perfume smellers too follow suit with similar policies and are practically invaluable for perfume houses.

 

Then again there are TV stars like Jimmy Durante whose nose and personality evolved around each other and claimed an amount of £25,000. Now I wouldn't be surprised if Amy Winehouse' cocaine-snorting nose (so important for musical sensibilities dahlin') or Gisele Bundchen's 'big' German nose started commanding such enormous sums of money.

 

Of course, if you have a nose enhancement surgery you wouldn't be eligible for such insurance since they just don't give out insurance for surgically modified parts, unless of course you plan on making a fortune out of it!

 

But a pleasantly structured nose goes really easy on the eyes and enhancing it with nose surgery even better so. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California can show you how. Visit us for an appointment today.

 

Nose Enhancement Update : Z-plasty Technique

A collapse of the internal nasal valve forms one of the mains reasons for nose obstruction in individuals. A problem like this is known to cause significant discomfort and at times severe breathing problems.

 

Rhinoplasty can correct this condition to an extent, but is more effective when a particular technique called Z-plasty is applied. This nose surgery technique is excellent for scar revision surgery as well and recent findings have supported its effectiveness.

 

It is crucially important for the nose surgery doctor to understand the procedure and have experience in it before proceeding with the operation. A thorough knowledge of facial dynamics is considered mandatory vital for the success of this nose surgery procedure.

 

Unlike the open rhinoplasty, the Z-plasty technique involves less surgery and recovery time making it easier on the plastic surgery candidate. It has even proven useful in reconstructive nose surgery as well and treating structural deformities like nasal valve stenosis (narrow nasal cavity).

 

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California houses some of the top plastic surgeons in the country who are experienced with Z-plasty techniques. You can even find additional help for nose implant surgery and nose enhancement surgery at our advanced surgical institute.

Kate Hudson & Her Nose – Lanced With Love

The one thing that you can't help noticing about Kate Hudson is her sunny mile wide smile. And these days smiling and grinning like a love-struck teen is something she just can't help thanks to the new man in her life- Livestrong founder and ace cyclist Lance Armstrong.

 

The pair has been spotted just about everywhere- with their kids, dining, shopping, etc. Looks like Goldie Hawn's baby is looking to settle down!

 

Kate looked very different when she stepped into her performing shoes for her roles in 200 Cigarettes and Desert Blue. Her nose was decidedly more bulbous at the tip. Compare it to her current nose and you will notice a more fluid angle and a finer tip.

 

Her alleged nose enhancement surgery put up on Good Plastic Surgery which has got clear pictures depicting it. Her nose surgery work looks pretty obvious out here.

 

All in all I feel it suits Kate's perfectly and lends a lovely touch to the rest of her doll-like face. She may not be as much a fan of cosmetic surgery as her mother Goldie Hawn, but she sure does know how to plays up her features.

 

Do you want a rhinoplasty that brings out the best in your face? Dial us up at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California and we'll have professional nose surgery consultants working hard on it.

 

Busted & Repaired Noses Uncovered

It never ceases to amaze me. Makeup can make a woman look like she's out to dazzle the world or can make her look like she has been dragged all over the world.

 

Take Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, one-time It girl, socialite and cocaine-abuser. In the years prior to her rehab stint, she was a mess. No amount of makeup- subtle or dramatic could disguise the fact that Tara's skin and face was beyond help.

 

Tara's nose too faced severe trauma from cocaine use and for a year or two she went around with a septum that had collapsed in a rather ugly way. A reconstructive rhinoplasty fixed the defect very well and improved the now 36-year-old's face beautifully.

 

In a recent shoot for Heat Magazine Tara took her transformation a step ahead and washed the goop off her face for the camera. The first thing you will notice is her face which immediately looks years younger and more relaxed.

 

While the Plastic Surgery Institute of California is on no account telling you to get rid of your pots and tubes of joy, what we are hinting at is subtle cosmetic enhancement. Whether you chose to beautify yourself via makeup or a small cosmetic surgery procedure like nose enhancement surgery, steer clear from an overenthusiastic approach.

Matt Dillon, A Convicted Criminal & Nose Surgery

Now that might not be the formula for a perfect Hollywood blockbuster, but the movie Matt’s currently filming does have all these ingredients. Matt stars in Bone Deep an action flick that includes T.I. a rapper facing imprisonment for weapons possession.

Jezebel calls Matt “the poor man’s Clive Owen” and they couldn’t be less correct in this point. Matt has always portrayed roles that may at best be called eclectic and in the process has left behind his teenage heartthrob status to achieve a more mature look.

Chiseled cheekbones and deep-set eyes make Matt perfect for roles spanning from diabolic villains to smooth-talking charmer to the boy-next-door. The nose enhancement surgery he is believed to have had just polished looks that already made women hoot.

Matt Dillon’s nose surgery can be seen to have shaved the bulbiness from the tip and awarded it with a smooth, defined tip that gelds well with the rest of his face. New age Hollywood heartthrobs know how to make cosmetic surgery work for them alright! Nothing of the Kenny Rogers-kind of over enthusiasm can be seen in Dillon’s case.

The rhinoplasty surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for one love the work done on Matt Dillon’s nose. Get in touch with us to know what your nose enhancement surgery options are.

Cocaine, Pregnancy & A Rhinoplasty Surgeon

Natasha McElhone, the late Dr. Martin Kelly’s widow is expecting a baby and looks so healthy despite her grief that you can’t help but admire the woman.

Dr. Kelly was considered to be one of the best plastic surgeons in the UK and died a tragic death believed to have been caused due to an onset of a viral infection. He was especially noted for his cosmetic surgery work in reconstructing deformities and in rhinoplasty.

One of the most celebrated nose surgery cases he took on was the cocaine-busted nose of the socialite Tara Palmer-Tomkinson. The repeated drug use can leave a body with a collapsed septum in the nose.

Dr. Kelly corrected this deformity in Tara’s nose and gave her new nose added definition and support. Despite Tara’s reservations about the nose enhancement surgery, she went ahead and got her nose repaired.

Dr. Kelly, according to his colleague Norman Waterhouse was “a pivotal figure in the world of craniofacial surgery”. Quite a keen loss for the plastic surgery profession, but not more so than what Natasha must be facing.

Here’s hoping she has a smooth pregnancy and finds solace for her grief.

The Nose That Sells The Most – Oprah Winfrey

The woman absolutely rocks! Oprah Winfrey, queen of daytime television in the U.S. has topped the Forbes Most Powerful Celebrity list for the second year in a row.

Who says there’s no life for women in showbiz after 40? At 54, Oprah Winfrey still reaps the ratings while changing the lives of millions of American women- and possibly elsewhere as well. I wouldn’t blame the lady for taking help of a little cosmetic surgery for keeping up the well-groomed look.

Rumored to have a nose surgery among other cosmetic procedures, Oprah thrives on the image she projects across to her audience. She has taken on everyone on her show from battered, abused women to Barack Obama and Tom Cruise and has changed the way a lot of women think and act in the U.S.

If anyone has mass appeal, it’s this African-American woman and her leading the Forbes list is simply a reiteration of her power.

In fact I’m totally convinced. If Oprah comes clean on her rhinoplasty and announces it to her audience, the ASPS would find nose enhancement bypassing breast augmentation in the nationwide plastic surgery statistics!

Have you done something because Oprah or a similar famous figure told you its good? Would you give nose surgery consideration in such a case? Let us know at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Don’t Trust This Nose Surgeon

It looks like every second day there is a plastic surgeon who’s in the news for everything but rosy reviews of his job. Times Online UK reported one such doctor who had all the marks of a terrible plastic surgeon.

Currently on trial for mutilating and endangering the lives of 90 patients, the plastic surgeon in question is actually an anesthesiologist by training. In this lies the first mistake that patients who came to him made. A plastic surgeon who performs a nose enhancement or related plastic surgery must have a certification from a recognized board or at least be cleared to practice plastic surgery.

A patient who came in for a face lift procedure to this doctor was left with numbness in the area around the ears. Patients claim that the cosmetic surgeon was incompetent in administering anesthesia and several had a traumatic time recovering from the sound of their own body being operated on.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California anesthesiologists and plastic surgeons check the patient for anesthesia tolerance and offer an alternative for the nose surgery if the patient is found to be severely lacking. This kind of doctor is the one you can trust for a nose surgery procedure.
