Botox is a popular injectable treatment used to smooth away a variety of wrinkles. It is typically employed to get rid of embarrassing crow’s feet, glabellar lines, and horizontal forehead wrinkles. However, it can also address other facial wrinkles, including chin dimpling.
When small wrinkles form on the chin, it creates an issue that is often called peau d’orange chin (orange-peel chin) or golf ball chin. This can make a person look stressed or older than they really are. For a smooth chin and a more relaxed and youthful appearance, Botox injections can be quite effective.

Revision rhinoplasty, or secondary rhinoplasty, is conducted in order to change the results of the original surgery. This is very important in cases where patients are unhappy with the look and/or functionality of their results.

Why Do People Need Revision Rhinoplasty?
There are several reasons why a patient may need revision, or secondary, rhinoplasty:
The original, or primary, rhinoplasty may have been performed incorrectly. The nose consists mainly of delicate cartilage, and because of this, it is prone to several complications if the surgeon […]
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a method used to remove signs of aging around the eyes. As time goes on, the skin starts to droop with age. The eyelids tend to display signs of aging sooner than most areas of the body, since the skin is so thin in this area.
When the eyelids start drooping, they cause cosmetic problems, giving their owner an older, more haggard appearance. If the skin around the eyes sags too much, it can cause vision-related issues by affecting one’s peripheral vision.
Many patients choose to get excess fat, skin, and muscle removed to correct […]
If you had a rhinoplasty and are unhappy with the results, a revision rhinoplasty may be the perfect procedure for you. It is performed to fix problems experienced during or after an initial rhinoplasty procedure. It is also referred to as a “secondary rhinoplasty.”
Since it can take up to a year to see the results from an initial nose job, this procedure is performed a year or more after a patient undergoes a rhinoplasty.
Patients often undergo this procedure for a variety of reasons. Below are some of the reasons you may require a secondary rhinoplasty.
You Had an Accident or Experienced […]

A balloon sinuplasty, or a balloon catheter dilation surgery, is a minimally invasive surgery that ENT specialists administer on patients with severe sinus issues and blockages in the nose. Nicknamed the “smart sinus” procedure, the balloon sinuplasty was inspired by the angioplasty, where damaged blood vessels near the heart are dilated using a balloon catheter.
Because the procedure doesn’t involve any cutting or any removal of nasal tissue, it has a short recovery time. This has made it the go-to procedure for patients with chronic sinusitis. It is also fully covered by many medical insurance agencies.
