    How To Choose The Best Nose Plastic Surgeon?

    How To Choose The Best Nose Plastic Surgeon?

    Best Nose Plastic Surgeon

    Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery involving augmenting, reshaping, and reducing the nose to make it more proportional to other facial features. The surgery should only be performed by a facial plastic surgeon that has an expertise in rhinoplasty and detailed understanding of the nasal structure.

    Rhinoplasty, popularly known as a nose job, may sometimes entail functional corrections. It may also be recommended as a reconstructive procedure for addressing congenital disabilities or injuries to the nose.

    Board certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Eric Yavrouian provides rhinoplasty to patients in Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Greater Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, CA, and surrounding locations.

    Dedicated Surgical Expertise for Facial Procedures

    Dr. Yavrouian has significant experience in performing Rhinoplasty surgery. The objective during the surgery is to ensure all incisions are made discreetly and the procedure kept minimally invasive. Dr. Yavrouian is dedicated to ensuring the shortest possible downtime and least amount of scarring. He also aims at providing patients with functional results from the surgery.

    Existing nose size and shape will be assessed by the doctor including tissue availability, cartilage and bone, type and thickness of nose, and proportion of the nose with other facial features, such as the chin. Each rhinoplasty procedure will be individualized based on this evaluation. This will be done to align cosmetic and anatomical requirements of the patient.

    Handling Complicated Rhinoplasty Cases

    Experience and training of Dr. Yavrouian in facial cosmetic surgery allows him to undertake complicated rhinoplasty procedures. This includes revision rhinoplasty where a patient may be dissatisfied by a previous procedure performed by another surgeon. These cases have several limitations since the procedure is being repeated. There are several changes occurring in the nose including the formation of scar tissue.

    Dr. Yavrouian has a proven track record with a high success rate where primary and revision rhinoplasty is concerned. He has several times combined rhinoplasty with other procedures to enhance efficacy of results. Generally, rhinoplasty is combined with nostril reduction and alar base reduction. Ethnic and reconstruction rhinoplasty is also performed by Dr. Yavrouian.

    Choosing the Right Surgeon

    Once a patient shortlists one or more cosmetic surgeons for their procedure, they should get an understanding of the experience and scope of practice by visiting the website. They should also have a look at all the procedures being offered by the surgeon.

    Patients should list out all questions they want to ask before the initial consultation to get better clarity. Committed surgeons will answer all your questions and clarify all doubts in detail. They should speak in a language that can be understood by the patient.

    Skills of a Head and Neck Surgeon

    Nose reshaping plastic surgery may involve procedures to address sinus disease. You may not need higher surgical precision or external incisions if you select advanced endoscopic surgical procedures for nasal conditions and sinus.

    Correction of deviated nasal septum (septoplasty) and nasal obstruction (congestion) are a few other standard surgeries included. Head and neck surgeons (ENT surgeon) have better chances of success because they are trained in treating these conditions while performing cosmetic facial procedures.

    Microneedling vs Microdermabrasion

    Which procedure is the best skin rejuvenation for you?

    Microneedling and microdermabrasion are used for treating medical and cosmetic skin conditions. The procedures don’t take more than a few minutes to an hour per session. There is almost zero to little downtime involved in the treatment. However, you may require multiple treatment sessions for addressing your concerns.

    Board certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Eric Yavrouian provides safe and proven skin rejuvenation procedures, such as microdermabrasion and microneedling to patients in Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Greater Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, CA, and surrounding communities.

    Understanding Microdermabrasion

    This is a form of dermabrasion and skin resurfacing. It can be performed on the face and the body for exfoliating or removing damaged and dead skin cells at the topmost skin layer.

    Microdermabrasion is recommended by the American College of Dermatology for:

    • uneven skin tone (hyperpigmentation)
    • sunspots (melasma)
    • acne scars
    • age spots
    • dull complexion

    How does it work?

    Microdermabrasion works a lot like gentle sandpaper on the skin. A special machine is used to remove the topmost layer of the skin. The machine may have a wand encrusted with tiny crystals or a diamond tip for polishing the skin. Certain microdermabrasion machines include a built-in vacuum as well for sucking up the debris removed from the skin.

    You can notice results almost immediately following a microdermabrasion treatment. The skin will feel smoother, look brighter, and more even-toned. Microdermabrasion machines for home use are less powerful than the ones used by skincare experts.

    Understanding Microneedling

    Microneedling can be performed on the scalp, face, and the body. This procedure is relatively newer as compared to microdermabrasion and is also known as:

    • collagen induction therapy
    • percutaneous collagen induction
    • skin needling

    Risks and benefits of microneedling are not well known. More research is required for understanding how the treatment works on improving the skin. However, as the American Academy of Dermatology, microneedling can be used for improving skin conditions, such as:

    • scars
    • acne scars
    • fine lines
    • wrinkles
    • large pores
    • hyperpigmentation
    • brown spots
    • stretch marks
    • uneven skin texture

    How does it work?

    Microneedling triggers the skin to repair itself. It can promote collagen growth and elastin. Collagen is useful for plumping the skin and reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Tiny holes are poked in the skin using 0.5 to 3mm needles.

    Microneedling is usually performed using a dermaroller that contains a small wheel with rows of fine needles. 250 holes can be made per square centimeter by rolling it on the skin. The doctor may use a microneedling machine as well. This has a tip similar to the one present on a tattoo machine. The tip pushes the needle back and forth as the machine is moved across the skin.

    Microneedling is marginally painful as compared to microdermabrasion. Numbing cream may be applied to your skin by the healthcare provider before the treatment. It may take several weeks for complete benefits to manifest following a microneedling procedure. You may require more than a single treatment as well.

    Facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Eric Yavrouian receives patients from Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Greater Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, CA, and nearby areas for advanced and innovative microdermabrasion and microneedling skin rejuvenation procedures.
