Rhinoplasty, sometimes referred to as a “nose job” by patients, is surgery that changes the shape of the nose. The motivation for rhinoplasty may be to change the appearance of the nose, improve breathing or both. It can be done for medical reasons -- such as to correct breathing problems related to the nose or correct disfigurement resulting from trauma or birth defects. It can also be done for cosmetic reasons, which will change the nose's shape and appearance.

Liquid rhinoplasty, or nonsurgical rhinoplasty, is a series of office-based procedures done while the patient is awake. Injectable hyaluronic acid fillers are used to alter the shape and size of the nose without invasive surgery.

Does Rhinoplasty Hurt?

With rhinoplasty, the most unpleasant part tends to be during the initial aftermath. Following surgery, most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort that can be controlled with medication. Patients are bruised and swollen and their noses are packed with gauze, but it looks much worse than it feels. Once the initial post-op edema subsides (relatively quickly), some swelling may persist for few months.

After removing the splint, which is usually a week after the surgery, patients should avoid wearing glasses or sunglasses, particularly plastic-framed glasses (which would rest all the way over the top of the nose), for 6 weeks following the surgery. Since the nose is still soft, the weight of glasses would press the healing nasal bones.

How to make bruises go away after rhinoplasty?

Bruising and black eyes are a normal part of the nose job. Knowing what to expect is a crucial part of maintaining a positive outlook through recovery. If you’re hoping that you’ll come out of surgery looking your best, you’ll be disappointed. With that being said, there are things you can do at home to make the bruising go away faster.

• Cold compresses are perhaps the most simple and effective self-treatment you can do to promote fast healing. Try to maintain a schedule of compresses every 30 minutes for a few days after surgery, then periodically as needed after that.
• Using non-steroidal anti-inflammatories are a potent way to reduce both pain and swelling.
• Try to keep salt right out of your diet, as much as possible, for a couple of weeks after surgery. Sodium causes the body to retain fluid, and that’s what we want to avoid to reduce bruising and swelling.
• Stay hydrated. When your body has lots of water available, water retention is less likely, and your circulatory and lymphatic systems work more efficiently, both of which contribute to fast healing.
• Avoid any exertion that causes blood to rush to your head, such as bending to lift something heavy. Instead, some light walking is quite beneficial for its gentle stimulation of circulation.
• Keep Your Head Elevated. Sleeping on your side after rhinoplasty isn’t just uncomfortable, it can prolong your recovery time by causing additional bruising and swelling. More frighteningly, it can displace your nose. To avoid this, you’ll need to keep your head elevated at night for 6 weeks following surgery.
• Don’t Smoke. Both before and after surgery, it’s important that you don’t smoke and avoid secondhand smoke if possible. The nicotine in tobacco products limits blood flow, making it more difficult for your body to heal itself and interferes with your plastic surgery recovery.

Rhinoplasty Healing Stages

1 week after the surgery: The splint can be removed from your nose and you can go out in public without showing noticeable signs of surgery unless there is bruising around the eyes.
2 weeks after the surgery: The majority of the facial swelling will have subsided and most of the bruising will have resolved.
3 weeks after the surgery: You can safely return to cardiovascular activities such as jogging, swimming and cycling.
6 weeks after the surgery: The bones are stable, you can resume resistance workouts (weight lifting), wearing glasses and blowing your nose.
3-6 months after the surgery: The numbness and abnormal sensations in your nose and nasal skin should be resolved.
1 year after the surgery: The healing process is complete – swelling should have subsided entirely and the nose’s new shape is fully refined.

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammaplasty, sometimes referred to as a "boob job" by patients, involves using breast implants or fat transfer to enhance your breasts.

Why it's done

Breast augmentation might help you:

• Enhance your appearance if you think your breasts are too small or that one is smaller than the other
• Adjust for a reduction in the size of your breasts after pregnancy
• Correct uneven breasts after breast surgery for other conditions
• Improve your self-confidence

Breast augmentation options

There are several types of implants available for breast enhancement surgery.
Saline breast implants are filled with sterile salt water. Should the implant shell leak, a saline implant will collapse and the saline will be absorbed and naturally expelled by the body.

• Saline breast implants provide a uniform shape, firmness and feel, and are FDA-approved for augmentation in women age 18 or older.
• Structured saline breast implants are filled with sterile salt water, and contain an inner structure which aims to make the implant feel more natural. Silicone breast implants are FDA-approved for augmentation in women age 22 or older. If you choose silicone implants, you may need to visit your plastic surgeon regularly to make sure the implants are functioning properly. An ultrasound or MRI screening can assess the condition of breast implants.
• Gummy bear breast implants are form-stable implants because they maintain their shape even when the implant shell is broken. The consistency of the silicone gel inside the implant is thicker than traditional silicone gel implants. These implants are also firmer than traditional implants. Shaped gummy bear breast implants have more projection at the bottom and are tapered towards the top. If a shaped implant rotates, it may lead to an unusual appearance of the breast that requires a separate procedure to correct. Placement of gummy bear implants requires a slightly longer incision in the skin.
• Round breast implants have a tendency to make breasts appear fuller than form-stable implants. Higher profile options can achieve even more projection. Because round implants are the same shape all over, there is less concern about them rotating out of place.
• Smooth breast implants are the softest feeling. They can move with the breast implant pocket, which may give more natural movement. Smooth implants may have some palpable or visible rippling under the skin.
• Textured breast implants develop scar tissue to stick to the implant, making them less likely to move around inside of the breast and become repositioned. Texturing offers some advantage in diminishing the risk of a tight scar capsule.

Whether you choose saline or silicone implants, it is important for you to monitor your breast implants and follow-up with your plastic surgeon for appropriate checkups.

Dual-plane breast augmentation

Dual plane augmentation is the type of breast enlargement technique in which the implant is placed under the pectoral muscle at the upper, and sometimes mid, part of the breast, but the lower part of the implant is not covered by the muscle. The varying different degrees of muscle coverage over the implant depends on the patient’s current breast shape and desired result, and that’s why it’s important to choose a surgeon that is experienced in this technique, as the ratio of muscle-covered implant to uncovered implant makes subtle adjustments that impact your result.

Dual plane augmentation technique was developed for women with low grade breast droop, or ptosis - as well as those desiring a more natural, lower fullness in their final result. In a classic breast augmentation, the pectoral muscle would restrict the adequate expansion of the overlying sagging breast tissue. This is seen most commonly in women who have lost weight, breastfed or found that ageing lead to excess lower breast (called ‘lower pole’) skin.

Patients who have constricted breast deformity, or tuberous breasts - where the distance from the lower edge of the areola to the lower breast crease is smaller (and often, the nipple is pointing downwards) - can also benefit from this technique. They find that as the lower pole of the breast expands to accommodate the breast implant itself, the implant sits in a more natural position relative to the overlying breast tissue. This can benefit women with tuberous breast deformity as well.

Generally, the operation involves:

• moving your nipple to its new position – usually while it's still attached to the blood supply
• removing excess fat, glandular tissue and skin from your breasts
• reshaping the remaining breast tissue

It can take 2 to 6 weeks to fully recover from breast reduction surgery. Avoid stretching, strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for up to 6 weeks after the operation. Some surgeons suggest wearing a sports bra 24 hours a day for up to 3 months after breast surgery

Who needs breast reduction surgery?

Breast reduction surgery is meant for women who have large breasts and want to resolve issues such as:

• Chronic back, neck and shoulder pain that requires pain medications
• Chronic rash or skin irritation under the breasts
• Nerve pain
• Restricted activity
• Poor self-image related to large breasts
• Difficulty fitting into bras and clothing

Men can also benefit from breast reduction. A male breast reduction surgery is the most effective known treatment for gynecomastia, or enlarged male breasts.

Liposuction, also called as lipoplasty and body contouring, is a surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to remove fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms or neck. Liposuction also shapes (contours) these areas.

Types of liposuction

There are a few different liposuction techniques. But what they all have in common is the use of a thin tube, called a cannula, connected to a vacuum to suction the fat from your body.

• Laser assisted liposuction or SmartLipo uses laser to produce a burst of energy to liquefy the fat.
• Ultrasound assisted liposuction (UAL) uses sound waves energy under the skin to rupture the cell walls of the fat, which liquefies the fat so it can be suctioned out.
• Vaser (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) liposuction is a type of ultrasound assisted liposuction.
• Tumescent liposuction (wet liposuction) is the most common technique which involves a sterile solution to be injected into the area where the fat is to be removed.

• Liposuction 360: 360-degree liposuction is a more comprehensive procedure that combines liposuction of the entire midsection to achieve an overall curvier, contoured figure from every angle.
• Vaser 4D Liposculpt: VASER 4D Liposuction is a specialized and advanced form of VASER Lipo. VASER 4D is an advanced body sculpting procedure, which removes fat, defines underlying muscles and significantly improves your proportions. It can target pockets of fat, eliminating them while redefining the shape of your body. VASER 4D Lipo can target fat on the upper arms, chest, abdomen, buttocks, back and upper legs to help transform and improve your body permanently.

How long does it take to recover from liposuction?

It usually takes about two weeks to fully recover from liposuction, but if a small area was treated you should be able to return to work within a few days. If a large area was treated you may need up to 10 days off work to recover.
