People seek a revision rhinoplasty for a variety of reasons. In my practice, there are 2 main reasons people come for a revision rhinoplasty consultation.
The top reason is that they have an aesthetic or cosmetic concern from their previous rhinoplasty. The nose is the focal point of the face and one of the first things that someone looks at when first meeting someone or looks at themselves in the mirror. Because of this, it should be no surprise that individuals notice certain irregularities and shadows that they may consider unsatisfactory. In many instances, a revision rhinoplasty can provide a refinement to these areas […]
Breast augmentation is all about giving the patient their ideal breasts. You are the ultimate source of knowledge when it comes to your aesthetic needs. The best way to provide you with beautiful results is to make sure you have control over the key aesthetic aspects of your procedure.

There also are multiple options for the incision location for you to choose from, and the benefits of each will be thoroughly explained prior to your surgery. You will also have […]
When it comes to facial rejuvenation, surgery is not your only option. Before you consider something as dramatic or intensive as cosmetic surgery, consider the amazing results that non-surgical facial rejuvenation options can provide.
Botox can be incredibly effective at reducing the presence of fine lines and wrinkles on your face. A facelift can also correct these issues, but if your wrinkles are mild then a facelift may be too extreme an option. Juvederm, Restylane, and Perlane are all excellent fillers for treating those deeper facial lines. Voluma can restore any facial volume you have lost as a result of aging.

Cosmetic dermal fillers like Juvederm, Voluma, and Restylane are all excellent for filling in those mild and moderate lines and wrinkles that form on the face over the years. However, there are very severe lines and wrinkles that these dermal fillers can’t adequately treat.
Perlane is one of the best cosmetic dermal fillers for filling in those deep wrinkles and lines that diminish the natural beauty of your appearance. Perlane is made from hyaluronic acid, like other common dermal fillers, but Perlane has a noticeably thicker formula that can provide the added augmentation necessary for filling harsh lines.

The primary goal of breast reduction surgery is to reduce the size of the breasts, but that is not the only thing being done during the procedure. Plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Troy Pittman focuses on adjusting and refining the shape of the breasts to give you aesthetically stunning results.

Because every individual’s body recovers at a different rate, it can be difficult to determine exactly how long it will take you to recover from your abdominoplasty procedure. Knowing what to expect during your recovery and roughly how long it may take will help you to prepare for the process.
On average, most patients will experience mild to moderate discomfort, swelling, and bruising on the abdomen for the first few days. The pain can be managed through medication, but the swelling can take several weeks to subside. It can take up to two weeks before you are able to return to […]
What is Symmastia?
Symmastia, commonly known as uni-boob, is a condition caused by displacement of breast implants leaving little or no cleavage. The condition can range from mild displacement, leaving the breasts touching in the midline, to a more severe condition where the breast implant pocket is destroyed in the midline, allowing the implant to move from one side of the chest to the other. Basically, anything that pulls the skin in the midline away from the chest wall can result in symmastia.
Common causes of symmastia are:
Breast implants that are too wide
Over dissection of the implant pocket in the midline
Symmastia is […]

During the mastopexy surgery, you will be under general anesthesia. The incisions made and the skin that will be removed varies from woman to woman, as it must cater […]
