Join Rhinoplasty Specialist Dr. Paul Nassif, of Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery & Dermatology located in Beverly Hills, in the operating room as he performs Tip Cartilage Contouring.

Although techniques and methods employed during rhinoplasty surgeries are the same regardless of race, there are some trends that apply to patients of certain ethnic backgrounds.

East Asian patients often want their noses to appear narrower. This can be done through the use of infractures, where the nasal bones are broken and moved in or reset to thin out the nasal area and add projection in the process. Outfractures, where the nasal bones are broken and moved outwards, are used to widen a too-narrow dorsum. East Asian patients typically seek augmentation (adding material) of the bridge of their nose which will make the nose appear narrower as well. In Asia, patients typically use a variety of alloplastic implants including Gore-Tex, Med-Por, or silicone. Due to the risks of alloplastic materials, natural materials to the bridge of the nose, such as rib cartilage (costal cartilage) or ear cartilage (auricular cartilage) are being used more commonly.

Patients of African descent commonly seek narrowing of wide nostrils. This procedure may include removing sections of the base of the nostrils or sections of the nose where it meets the face. The tip of the nose can be restructured by removing tiny sections of cartilage to give the nose more shape, or even adding cartilage to provide additional structure to the nasal tip.

Narrowing of Nasal Dorsum

The results are incediblle! It’s like a dream come true. I am so happy that I chose Dr. Paul S. Nassif as my surgeon. He is truely a gifted and wonderful surgeon.

Every year, half a million people who are interested in improving the appearance of their nose seek a consultation with a Facial Plastic Surgeon. Some are unhappy with the nose they were born with, and some with the way aging has changed their nose. For others, breathing may be a problem, or an injury may have distorted the nose. A slight alteration of the nose can greatly improve ones appearance. Rhinoplasty (reshaping the nose), could improve ones looks, self-confidence or health. As with all facial plastic surgery, good health and realistic expectations are prerequisites.

The goal of rhinoplasty is to improve the nose aesthetically (without creating a surgical look) in order to create harmony with other facial features. Additionally, many patients have a chin augmentation in conjunction with rhinoplasty to create a better balance of features. Rhinoplasty is usually performed with local injections of anesthesia with intravenous sedation, or in some cases, under general anesthesia.In rhinoplasty, the majority of incisions are made inside the nose, where they are invisible. In some cases, an incision is made in the area of skin separating the nostrils. Certain amounts of bone and cartilage are then removed or rearranged to provide a newly shaped nose. If the patient has a deviated septum (cartilage and/or bone causing obstruction inside the nose), septal surgery, called septoplasty, is simultaneously performed. The incision is placed entirely inside the nose. The septoplasty removes portions of cartilage and/or bone that are causing the obstruction. The incisions are then closed with fine suture, followed by placement of a splint to the outside of the nose. The splint helps retain the new shape while the nose heals.

Rhinoplasty – Nose Surgery – Dr. Kim Beverly Hills -Los Angeles

Follow my experience as I have rhinoplasty surgery to remove a bump on my nose that has been bothering me forever.

The procedure was performed by plastic surgeon Dr. David E. Kim of Beverly Hills Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Located in the Los Angeles area, specifically Beverly Hills.

My results were amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a more natural looking result. My family and friends all thought I had done something different with my hair. When I told them I had my nose done they were just as amazed as I was at the outstanding results.

The size and shape of your nose is considered by many to be the most defining part of your face. A nose job, or rhinoplasty, can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve breathing problems.

The main focus of rhinoplasty is to alter the bone and cartilage of your nose, because your skin and connective tissue essentially “hang” on a “frame” of cartilage and bone. During your surgery, small incisions are made on the inside of your nose, or in the columella (skin that separates the nostrils), before a selective amount of soft tissue is separated from the cartilage and bone. The surgeon will than alter the cartilage and/or bone to achieve your desired look; for example, bone may be removed or cartilage may be reshaped. During you consultation with Dr. Kim, you will learn which technique — “open” or “closed” rhinoplasty — is best to utilize for your surgery.

Rhinoplasty is typically performed while under general anesthesia or, depending on the type of nasal procedure, under local anesthesia with a sedative. The length of the surgery depends on the intricacy of the surgery. For instance, altering the size of the nostrils along with the nose can take about one to two hours, but surgery to correct a birth defect is known to last longer because it can be more complicated.

The final step of surgery is the reattachment of soft tissue. Your nose then will be held in place with a splint (similar in idea to splinting a broken arm); a plastic or metal splint will be taped to the outside of your nose, and smaller splints may be placed within your nostril to allow your new nose to heal properly.

    My Pains, My Chiropractor

    Having low back pains has made me very familiar with Chiropractors.  As a health care discipline and profession, it emphasizes diagnosis, treatment and prevention of medical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine thus I usually run to my Nashville chiropractor for my pains. 
    As the third largest health profession, behind medicine and dentistry, chiropractic care for low back pains became common. With their license, practitioners in the field are reliable enough given the education and training they obtained. 
    My Chiropractor has been taking care of me for ages now and without his help, I would not be able to function properly nor write this blog post without pain. So, if you even need chiropractic care, do your research because getting a good chiropractor may just be your saving grace too. 

    The Unexpected Benefits of a Good Colon Cleanse!

    Why are so many people looking for the perfect colon cleanse? Given all of our unhealthy diets and unhealthy lifestyles, colon cleansing is a great way to regulate and improve the function of the colon. A regular colon cleanse is also helpful in preventing constipation. A good colon cleanser, coupled with a healthy diet rich in fibers gets rid of undigested waste as well as the hardened fecal mater that is blocking the passageway of the colon. Waste has no problem passing through the intestinal organs, preventing constipation.

    There are many benefits associated with colon cleansers, but perhaps one that people do not expect is the significant weight loss that may come with it. The average colon weighs at about 4 pounds, but it has the amazing ability to store up to 30 pounds of fecal matter. Once the colon is rid of this, it is only natural for a person's weight to go down too!

    Effective Sleep Aid Remedies

    As more and more people experience trouble sleeping, the search for effective sleep aid remedies grows along with it too. From warm milk to prescription sleeping pills, most insomniacs are borderline desperate to try out anything! While it may be helpful to try out herbal infusions and teas, soothing baths, doctors insist on caution when taking over the counter sleeping pills. These pills may do more harm than good, pumping the body with potentially dangerous chemicals. What's more, taking these sleeping pills can lead to dependency, making it harder than ever to fall asleep without them. The best solution is still to go with something natural, which poses less threat to side effects.

    Getting Menopausal Symptoms Under Control

    Many women complain about the very uncomfortable symptoms associated with the onset of menopause.

    A great way to get menopausal symptoms under control is to use Hot Flash freedom, a natural and safe progesterone cream!

It just might be what you need to get rid of hot flashes and other menopausal discomforts!

    The Search for the Perfect Dentist

    Tooth problems can be quite bothersome, not to mention, expensive! The longer you leave it unattended, the worse it becomes! There are people who have trouble looking for the perfect dentist, which is why they let their tooth problems go on unattended. These people have obviously not heard of the amazing Glastonbury Dentist that I have come to swear by! I am confident that they're not all that's out there. I've heard good things about Richmond Dentist, Dr, Charles Martin. He is always talked about as being the best Richmond Dentist around! My cousin from Kauai also swears by her Kauai Dentist , Dr. Clyde Ishida. He comes with a great recommendation!

    All these referrals just give me confidence in saying that the perfect dentist is out there for you! So, stop hesitating and start your search! It's the only way you'll say goodbye to your tooth troubles!

    Good Quality Water Damage Cleanup Services are not Optional

    If you’ve ever experienced a blown pipe, then you already know how much damage it can do to your home. It happened to me recently and I was unfortunately not home at the time. By the time I got home, the water damage was unbelievable. I lost a lot of items, including books that I’ve had for a long time and really treasured. It was hard to believe that all that damage could come from just one blown pipe. I didn’t know where to start with the water damage cleanup. My carpets were an unbelievable mess and after just a few hours, I could see mold starting to form on my wooden furniture. It’s a good thing that the same thing had happened to someone from work who gave me a number for a water damage Orlando restoration company that he had already tried before. They offered a 24 hour service which was great since I didn’t get around to calling them until pretty late at night. They gave me a free phone consultation and threw in a free visual inspection too. They got my house back to normal in a lot less time than I could have hoped for. They also cleaned my carpets and they look pretty great now. I’m glad that I got the number of a reliable restoration company when I needed it. Hopefully, this will never happen to me again but in case it does, I’ll at least have a number that I can call to help me get back on my feet.
