A rhinoplasty, also referred to as a nose job and nose reconstruction surgery, is a procedure where you can change the way your nose looks by making it smaller or adjusting certain features of the nose, such as the nostrils or bridge. You may want a completely new shape and a doctor can do this. You may have a nose that arcs upward and down your face and a plastic surgeon can help create a more uniform appearance. The biggest benefit of rhinoplasty is that you will feel better about yourself. You may not go places because of your nose or you may be afraid to meet other people because everyone stares at your nose when you meet them. These things can be repaired because you will feel so much better about yourself when you have your nose reshaped by a plastic surgeon. Any type of surgery carried some amount of risk. When you are considering nose-reshaping surgery, you should make sure that you are aware of the potential risks of nose surgery. Some side effects of a rhinoplasty procedure include: recurring nose bleeds, difficulty bleeding through your nose, and the possibility of losing your sense of smell. Another risk is possible numbness around your nose and even scarring. It is important to realize that once you undergo a rhinoplasty, there is the possibility that you will not be satisfied with the new shape or size of your nose. For example, if your nose was oversized before and you have a doctor make is half the size you may not like the new nose at all. Once the surgery is performed, you cannot go back to your original nose so it is important to thoroughly discuss your expectations with your surgeon. If you have an unnatural-looking nose that is too big or abnormally shaped, you might consider hiring a plastic surgeon for rhinoplasty. This can help you with your self-esteem, possible breathing problems, and more. Always speak with a skilled plastic surgeon about the risks of the surgery and if you are a good candidate. Also be sure to discuss the possibility of combining your rhinoplasty procedure with other facial treatments, including a facelift, eyelid surgery, or BOTOX® injection, to maximize the results of the procedure.

Liposuction offers a safe and fast way of removing excessive fatty pockets in areas where extra fat should not be. One of the more popular methods of cosmetic surgery, liposuction is a cost effective way of getting that extra edge when you have a few problem areas but yet are not willing to undergo more invasive forms of cosmetic surgery. Liposuction has many benefits from the procedure and there are several reasons why liposuction may be for you. Health conscious people want their body to reflect their beliefs, but sometimes certain pockets of fat are next to impossible to eliminate through exercise. Liposuction can give the fitness-minded person that extra edge to gain the body that they are already working so hard to achieve and maintain. Liposuction can help define muscle tone by removing pockets of fatty tissue that lay on or around them. Liposuction can improve a person's health. Liposuction does have its limitations but it is possible to get up to 10 pounds of fatty deposits removed from you body relieving extra stress put on your heart and other organs. Individuals already at risk of heart disease or diabetes can benefit by having excessive fatty pockets removed. Liposuction gives a less invasive way of reducing breast size for either women or men (gynecomastia). By doing so, liposuction not only gives the breast a more appealing look but can also relieve back neck, and shoulder pains in a heavy breasted woman. Another reason one may seek out liposuction is for the improved appearance of certain areas of the body such as thighs or jaw line. Combined with a facelift, this can raise ones self-esteem and confidence greatly. Liposuction can also aid in lessening the appearance of cellulite. Once you have cellulite there is no real total elimination of it and results with liposuction will vary dependent upon many factors. Consult with our Pennsylvania plastic surgeon to see if liposuction can assist you in lessening the appearance of cellulite.

Women have been trying to enhance their bust size for ages. In early times, this was accomplished by clever padding, cinching, and costuming. Then came brassieres, which were stuffed with everything from tissue paper to nylon hose filled with birdseed. Still, women wanted a better, longer-lasting solution. In 1895, Austrian-German surgeon Vincenz Czerny carried out the first breast augmentation surgery. The first breast implant patient had had a tumor removed from her breast. Czerny took fatty tissue from a benign tumor on the patient's back and implanted it into her breast to "avoid asymmetry". This procedure earned him the title "Father of cosmetic breast surgery". For years to follow, various substances were stuffed and injected into women's breasts, often with disastrous results. Some of these materials included ivory, wool, paraffin, ground rubber, sponges, and various plastics. As you can imagine, the results of these early forays into breast augmentation were less than suitable. In 1945, a Dr. Berson took the tissue from a woman's chest wall and rotated it into her breast region to add fullness there. This approach was abandoned in favor of silicone gel injections in the 1950's and 60's. Again, the results were horrific. About 50,000 women had silicone injected into their breasts, and many of those experienced necrosis, lumps, and hardening of the breasts. Some women had to undergo mastectomies just to find relief. In 1962, the first silicone breast implants came on the scene. They were looked on with suspicion by the Food and Drug Administration. In 1992, concerns were raised about their safety and the risks associated with this breast augmentation surgery, with some patients claiming that their silicone implants had given them systemic diseases. Their use would eventually be limited to breast reconstruction following mastectomies and carefully controlled clinical studies. Saline implants soon took their place, but many women complained about the quality of these substitutes. After years of intense scrutiny, silicone gel implants were cleared of any link to systemic illnesses. They were approved for use once again in 2006. Now women have their choice of silicone or saline breast implants. What will the future hold for breast augmentation? Some people think injections will make a comeback, using long-lasting fillers such as Restylane. Others believe that softer, more realistic materials will be developed for breast implants. Regardless, there is one thing we can be sure of: breast augmentation surgery will continue to be in demand.
