Award Winning Plastic Surgeon Offers Alternatives to Surgical Nose Jobs

Newport Beach Doctor Uses Dermal Fillers for Temporary Re-Shaping
Newport Beach, CA, United States (pr4links.com) 18/08/2011
Plastic surgery can be a daunting decision because there are a lot moving parts to consider: surgeon expertise, pain, recovery times, and final results. And, for some, it is just a downright frightening proposition. You are planning to make a change, perhaps permanently, to your appearance and your face is the first thing people notice. Naturally, you want things to come off without a hitch and you want to look great! What about those patients who just cannot bring themselves to “go under the knife” as it were? Fortunately, there is a solution that has long-lasting, yet temporary effects and can change the shape of your nose. Newport Beach plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Sadati uses what are known as dermal fillers to accomplish nose sculpting without the use of a scalpel. In fact, just because a patient opts for a rhinoplasty procedure does not necessarily mean that a surgical procedure is necessary. Many patients can benefit from the subtle nature of fillers. "Every week I see people who are looking to change the appearance of their nose," says Dr. Sadati "but in many cases, they just want to do something small, like modifying the tip or filling out the bridge. For these patients, I often recommend non-surgical rhinoplasty.”

Dermal fillers such as Restylane™ and RADIESSE™ are injectable gels that can reshape the nose without a surgical technique. One of the major advantages of the non-surgical dermal fillers is a rapid recovery time. While surgical rhinoplasties can take weeks or even months in recovery, dermal fillers cut the time to a third. Some procedures are so subtle that they can be performed in an office setting with a weekend recovery. One of the disadvantages of the dermal filler option is the fact that it is, by definition, temporary. Touch ups and follow up visits are generally accomplished every six or nine months. Another advantage of a non-surgical nose job is that it is generally a less expensive alternative. While surgical rhinoplasty ( http://www.orangecountynosejob.com ) procedures can run into the thousands, injectable fillers usually go into the hundreds.

The procedure starts with the application of a numbing cream at the injection sites. Once the cream has taken effect, the surgeon then injects the dermal filler in precise amounts to achieve the patient’s appearance goals. The filler gels work to fill pockets and smooth out wrinkles; thereby, changing the shape of the nose. Fillers can add symmetry, smooth out fine lines, and reduce the effects of natural occurring humps and bulbs. Sagging and wrinkles can be eliminated, leaving an attractive, streamlined nasal profile. As mentioned earlier, this can be accomplished in an office visit and requires very little recovery time. Many patients experience a same day recovery because the procedure does not require traditional surgical recovery such as bandaging or swelling.

So, how do you know which option is right for you? A candid discussion with your surgeon during the consultation phase will reveal whether you would benefit from a traditional nose job or a non-surgical technique. Good candidates for dermal fillers include individuals who are healthy and have realistic expectations about their results. They are in good psychological health and have done research on the benefits of both surgical and non-surgical nose jobs. Generally, good candidates for dermal fillers are those that require very subtle changes to their noses or those that do not want to permanently change their appearance. If you experience problems breathing, a deviated septum ( http://www.orangecountynosejob.com ), or other functional problem with the nasal airway, dermal filler will probably not help. Functionality can only be permanently corrected through surgery. Injectable fillers are appropriate for those seeking an aesthetic solution to their appearance and require a very fast recovery time.
