Why Rhinoplasty Surgeons Shouldn’t Operate On Patients Who Need Therapy

Body dysmorphic disorder has reared its ugly head again, this time in Victoria, Australia.

Plastic surgeons in Melbourne and surrounding areas have noticed a rise in patients who are undergoing therapy for this condition and following it up with a plastic surgery procedure. Most of these patients focus on the face and go in for face surgery procedures like nose enhancement and eyelid surgery.

One surgeon discovered at least 15 percent of patients who want to have a nose implant or another surgery suffering from BDD. Very often, such patients do not leave it at one surgery and go on to have multiple surgeries in the same area, causing mild to severe disfigurement and even aesthetic deterioration.

To make it worse, there are cosmetic surgeons that will still operate such patients for yet another nose surgery or another cheek implant or something similar.

This is an utterly unscrupulous practice and one that needs to be discouraged. While cosmetic surgery laws are not that well defined in most countries, it becomes difficult for patients to refuse an unethical doctor's advice.

The best way to deal with such a situation is get help in accepting BDD and finding a way to beat it. Acceptance of the body will only then follow.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, we screen our patients intensively before consenting to perform a nose enhancement surgery on them. Patient-safety always comes first.

Stem Cells For Nose Surgery? Probably

Stem cell research has been on for at least two decades now and has made tremendous headway in biological and other related medical studies.

Generally, research utilizes two kinds of stem cells- embryonic and adult stem cells. While human embryonic stem cells (isolated from human embryos) are a largely controversial field, studies continue.

Plastic surgery procedures like nose enhancement and corrective nose surgery could benefit from adult stem cells that occur in the adult human body and display the potential to reconstruct lost tissue or grow it non-invasively. Certain reconstructive nose implant procedures make use of synthetic materials like silicone, which could be substituted with inherently cultivated stem cell implants.

Over a period of time, soft tissue implants tend to lose at least 40-60 percent of their total volume. Stem cells, on the other hand, once they have generated the final size and shape of the tissue mass (bone, fat, cartilage, etc.) could retain the shape for a longer time.

While medical researchers have carried out studies lasting up to four weeks after introduction, more long term observation and analysis is required. The expectations are very positive from this branch of medical science though not only for nose surgery but also for other cosmetic surgery.

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.
