A rhinoplasty, or a nose job, is a cosmetic procedure that is designed to correct and restructure the form, architecture, and function of your nose. If you have a congenital defect that causes a respiratory impediment, nasal trauma, or an aesthetically unappealing nose, a rhinoplasty is just what you need.
However, a number of patients report being unhappy with the results of a primary rhinoplasty. If you fall in that bracket, then you can go for a secondary rhinoplasty, also referred to as revision rhinoplasty, to correct the results of your first outing.
Patients often request a secondary rhinoplasty to address persistent […]
The neck is one of the first areas of the body to show signs of aging. Along with the aging process, drastic weight loss and sun damage may also cause the skin on the neck to sag. While people go to great lengths to improve or preserve the appearance of their facial skin, they often tend to ignore their neck.
If your neck skin has begun to lose its elasticity, or if your neck has excess skin and fat that you want to remove, then a neck lift is the perfect cosmetic solution to the problem. Make sure that you choose […]
Septoplasty is a corrective surgical procedure that is designed to straighten out a deviated septum. The septum refers to the wall of cartilage and bone that divides your nostrils. A crooked septum can cause breathing problems and lead to sleep apnea.
During a septoplasty, the surgeon will straighten out and reposition the septum. Before planning for a septoplasty, the surgeon will make a careful assessment of the clinical signs – like breathing difficulties – as well as the shape of your nose.
Preparing for the Procedure
Before you schedule a date for the surgery, you will need to meet with your surgeon and […]

Studies indicate that one in every five Americans is suffering from skin cancer of some kind, and a majority of these malignancies typically affect the scalp, neck, and face. Basal cell carcinoma is the most prevalent skin cancer in the world, and squamous cell carcinoma is second most common.
Mohs surgery is typically used for treating and removing cancerous lesions on the skin. After the skin cancer has been eliminated, you may need a subsequent plastic surgery procedure called Mohs reconstruction surgery. Reconstructive surgery is typically performed right after the removal of cancerous lesions from the skin.

Facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Andrew Compton offers a multitude of procedures and treatments for patients, including Botox Cosmetic. Botox is an excellent injectable treatment for reversing and preventing the signs of the aging process by doing away with unwanted facial lines and wrinkles.

However, like all good things, Botox treatment comes with its fair share […]

Cheek Implants
Well-defined cheeks are a sign of beauty and youth. But over time, the face ends up losing fat, causing the cheeks to become saggy and flat.
Although some people are born with high cheekbones, you can also achieve sculpted cheeks through surgical and non-surgical methods that seek to restore the plumpness, definition and volume in the cheeks. If you want to restore volume to your midface and recreate the youthful contours, your surgeon might suggest cheek implants.
What Is a Cheek Implant?
Cheek implants have been used since 1956 and have been proven to be an effective cosmetic enhancement option. They are […]
At some point, we all start to notice sagging skin. This unfortunate issue can be corrected with the help of plastic surgery! With a facelift and necklift, we can achieve rejuvenation of the face and neck, including the chin and jawline.
During a facelift and necklift, your surgeon will contour numerous types of tissue. He will trim away excess drooping skin from regions of your face and tighten the remaining skin. Fatty tissue will be removed and in some cases repositioned, leading to a more defined look. Loose muscles will also be tightened to increase support and eliminate sagging.
