Repairing Torn Earlobes

Multiple ear piercings, stretching the lobe for large-gauge jewelry, years of wearing heavy earrings, and attempting self-piercing can turn ugly when the soft skin of the earlobe is stretched to the point of tearing. The good news is that a cosmetic solution is possible.

Torn earlobe repair is available to men and women who have separated earlobes due to piercing or other injuries. This type of facial reshaping procedure involves manipulating the thin, delicate tissue of the soft earlobe in order to recreate a normal contour. This surgery is also available for patients with ear tissue deformities.

In some cases, an immediate repair is recommended. For others, waiting until the tear heals is ideal. The reconstruction technique used will depend on the degree of tearing and tissue damage. In most cases, evidence of a tear is virtually eliminated.

After a successful earlobe repair, you should also be aware not to have the ear re-pierced for three months, and in addition, to have the location of the new piercing carefully selected by your plastic surgeon (to avoid injuring the area of repair).

Facial Enhancement With Cheek and Chin Implants

Thanks to safe, affordable facial implant surgery, you can actually change the shape and dimensions of your facial features. Facial rejuvenation and reshaping is a popular cosmetic surgery option for men and women who desire a more proportionate, balanced facial appearance.

•    Cheek implants (or cheek lift) can recreate the coveted “high cheekbones” look, or replace volume that has been lost.
•    Chin implants (or chin augmentation) can create a strong chin appearance to balance out other facial features that appear disproportionately large in comparison to a small chin, for example, the nose.

You may also want to consider facial fillers like  Radiesse, Juvederm, or Restylane or a face lift or brow lift for a more dramatic facial enhancement.

Look Younger With Neck Reshaping

If the skin around your neck is revealing signs of aging you’d rather not show, the neck lift procedure can be a very effective and natural-looking cosmetic solution. Like the facial skin, the neck skin can be very delicate, showing off wrinkling, creping and sagging that draws attention from the face and make you feel self-conscious. A neck lift can help you maintain a youthful neck appearance and avoid these telltale signs of true age.

During the neck reshaping procedure, your facial rejuvenation plastic surgeon will work to minimize band lines and excess skin or fat with gentle surgical techniques.  Liposuction may also be performed during the procedure to remove fatty tissue for a slimmer, sexier neck line. The results are often dramatic and may subtract years from your outward appearance.

For a more in-depth neck and facial makeover, you can supplement your neck lift with a facelift, forehead lift, or eyelid surgery.

To learn more about the incredible benefits of the neck reshaping procedure, talk to experienced Orange County plastic surgeon Dr. Nirav Savalia at Finesse Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery.

Reshape Your Nose With Rhinoplasty

Have you ever looked at photos of yourself and wished your nose didn’t look so large or out-of-place? Cosmetic nose reshaping (rhinoplasty) can enhance the overall appearance of your nose and restore a sense of balance to the face. The primary goal of this procedure is to create a very natural-looking shape that blends well with, and even accentuates, the facial features. Rhinoplasty can also be performed for men and women who experience breathing difficulties due to airway obstruction.

You may be a great candidate for rhinoplasty if:

• Your nose is disproportionate to your face
• Your nose has noticeable bumps
• Your nose seems too wide or too narrow
• The nasal tip is uneven or enlarged
• The nostrils are uneven, too large or too small
• Your nose appears crooked or off center
• There are physical or functional deformities

To get an idea of how a nose reshaping procedure can dramatically affect facial appearance, take a look at these before and after photos and read a few patient testimonials.

If you’ve always wondered how a nose reshaping procedure could enhance your appearance, get the facts during a one-on-one consultation with a skilled cosmetic surgeon. And if it’s cost that’s holding you back, make sure to ask about affordable financing options that break the costs down into small monthly payments.

Wave Goodbye to Arm Flab With an Arm Lift

If you notice your arm flab waving goodbye longer than you actually do, it may be time to consider a cosmetic surgery solution called an arm lift. Since gravity and the effects of aging can result in sagging tissue or extra arm fat, this cosmetic procedure was designed to help self-conscious individuals gain confidence and wear whatever they want.

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is perfect for women and men in their 30s, 40s or 50s who are hesitant to wear short sleeves or tank tops due to arm shape embarrassment. The procedure helps upper arms regain a youthful contour and a more slender, toned appearance. Your arm lift surgeon will gently remove excess skin and fat from the upper arm area on both sides during the outpatient procedure. The result is firmed, natural-looking upper arm skin that fails to reveal your age or reflect previous weight gain or loss.

When weighing the benefits of an arm lift, you may also want to consider the other types of “lift” procedures available today, including a body lift, face lift, neck lift, and thigh lift. Liposuction is also a popular option often performed in conjunction with an arm lift.

If you’d like to learn more about advanced body contouring procedures, talk to an experienced cosmetic surgeon in Orange County. Dr. Nirav Savalia at Finesse Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery is recommended as a top area cosmetic surgery provider.

Anti-Aging Facial Options for Men

Many men face the same aging issues as women — but the topic is talked about far less openly. For some men approaching their forties or fifties, wrinkles may add a rugged, wise element to the face. For others, loss of fullness, thinning skin, crow’s feet, and other signs of aging are unwelcome guests that can inhibit the facial appearance and make them seem years older than they feel. Thankfully, there are quite a few cosmetic anti-aging treatments designed to help men target these signs of aging for a rejuvenated, refreshed look.  

Here are some of the surgical anti-aging options available for men:

Facelift ­– A facelift is the most popular and effective way to fight wrinkling, deep grooves and sagging skin by improving the overall facial appearance.

Forehead Lift – The forehead lift relieves a furrowed brow for a more relaxed forehead and eye appearance.

Eyelid Lift – Sagging eyelids can make you look tired or weary, but the eyelid lift can do wonders to rejuvenate this area.  This is popular option for men who want a subtle change without a long recovery process.

Nose Reshaping – An overly large or oddly shaped nose can draw negative attention to the face. Nose reshaping creates facial balance and can instill a youthful appeal.

Cheek Implants – Cheek implants help restore lost fullness and volume - strong cheekbones can enhance masculinity.

Chin Implants – A pronounced, defined chin is often a desirable quality in men.

Fat Transfer – Fat cells can be transferred from other body areas to add youthful fullness to the face.

There are also many non-surgical facial rejuvenation choices, too, such as Botox®, Radiesse®, Restylane®, Juvederm®, Sculptra and  lip augmentation.

Gynecomastia and Male Chest Contouring

Cosmetic surgery is not just for women! For men who desire a more masculine shape, male chest contouring offers an affordable, safe solution. Male chest contouring is a type of cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the pectoral muscles and remove excess fat and skin tissue. This type of treatment works well for men who desire more definition and tone, men who experience sagging skin as a result of weight loss, and men affected by gynecomastia, a medical condition that causes female-like breast characteristics in men.

Also referred to as male breast reduction, the procedure is done on an outpatient basis. Using a combination of liposuction and excision techniques, the surgeon will remove fatty tissue and loose skin, effectively toning the area and allowing muscle tissue to become more prominent.

For an even more dramatic masculine contour, some men choose to have pectoral implants added as part of the chest contouring procedure. Other cosmetic treatments can be used to enhance the male body, including tummy tuck, liposuction, and body lift.

If you are interested in learning more about male body contouring, an experienced cosmetic surgeon can help you decide if this is the right treatment for you. You can also find out how the procedure has helped others by reading patient testimonials and viewing a male breast reduction photo gallery.
