Revision Rhinoplasty (Nose Job Surgery) Overview

Tag Archives: Facial Plastic Surgery

Fairfax Plastic Surgery | Loudoun | Revision Rhinoplasty Nose Job SurgeryDr. Trang Vo-Nguyen (Dr. V) is a board certified facial plastic surgeon providing rhinoplasty as well as revision rhinoplasty procedures. If a patient is dissatisfied with the primary nose surgery performed by a surgeon, a corrective surgery called revision rhinoplasty may have to be performed. Dr. V provides this procedure to her patients in Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, Warrenton, and other areas.

When is Revision Rhinoplasty Performed?

In some cases, the original rhinoplasty procedure may have resulted in a compromise of the patient’s basic facial integrity or ethnicity, or the results may appear very obvious. Some patients may be unhappy with the lack of harmony of the new nose with other facial features, or the procedure may have caused obstruction in breathing or other functional difficulties. In such cases, an experienced plastic surgeon may be consulted for a revision rhinoplasty to remove the aberrations caused by the primary surgery.

Treatment Planning

Revision rhinoplasty is typically a more complicated procedure compared to primary rhinoplasty. Therefore, this procedure should be performed only by an experienced plastic surgeon specializing in facial procedures. Patients in and around Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, and Warrenton have an opportunity to receive this treatment from Dr. V.

She will first assess the cosmetic and functional problems of the nose that the primary surgery may have caused or left untreated. In some cases, the problem may not be directly related to the primary nose surgery, but may have occurred during the period of recovery. The exact nature and causes of the problem will be established, and an appropriate treatment plan will be prepared taking into account the patient’s facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and previous nose surgeries.

Goal of Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty procedure aims to restore the appearance of the nose in accordance with the patient’s aesthetic goals through correction of the problems caused during the first surgery. In revision surgery, sometimes the plastic surgeon may be required to perform a re-construction of the nose and re-draping of the skin.

Limiting factors such as natural thickness and texture of the nasal skin, elasticity of the skin, and availability of cartilage may have to be dealt with in revision rhinoplasty. The primary procedure may have caused scar tissue formation, which can be another factor that the surgeon will have to overcome in a revision procedure.

Nose Reconstruction

Revision rhinoplasty may often require reconstruction of the underlying nasal structure to restore aesthetic appearance as well as correct functional problems of the nose. In some cases, nose grafting may be necessary, which may involve patient’s own cartilage from the ear, nose or ribs. Aberrations on the nasal bridge or nasal tip may be obscured by using Fascia from the scalp. Silicone implants may be used if the patient’s natural tissue availability is limited, or cosmetic concerns require the use of silicone implants.

Recovery

The patient can go back to work usually within a week after the surgery. Full effects of the procedure become visible as the swelling and bruising resolves over the next several weeks.

 

Facelift Before and After Photos – Northern Virginia

facelift before and after photosA facelift is a plastic surgery procedure designed to reduce the conspicuous signs of aging from the face in a comprehensive manner and restore a more youthful looking facial appearance. Dr. Trang Vo-Nguyen is a board certified facial plastic surgeon providing facelift surgery to patients in Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, Warrenton, and surrounding communities.

What are Facelift Before and After Images?

A facelift ‘before and after images’ refer to a set of photographs pertaining to a previous patient who has undergone a facelift procedure. The set includes photographs taken prior to the surgery and at different stages after the surgery. These images can serve as an effective visual aid to help a new patient understand the facelift procedure clearly and make an informed decision about treatment.

Before and after pictures are taken discreetly and with the consent of the patient. The plastic surgeon will use these pictures during the initial consultation, and the only goal is to use these photos to educate a new patient about facelift. See Facelift Before and After Photos

Benefits

A new patient may have only a vague idea of facelift surgery, and it can be difficult to explain the real effectiveness of the procedure in words. This is where before and after photos can play a key role and show visual results of the procedure. Some patients may be unsure whether to choose a facelift, a mini facelift or a procedure for the upper face only such as eyelid lift or brow lift. In some cases, the surgeon may recommend a facelift combined with a neck lift surgery.

The patient can gain a better perspective about various treatment options with the help of before and after photos. Dr. V makes sure that her patients in and around Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, and Warrenton are able to make informed choices using before and after photos of the procedure.

Expectations from a Facelift Surgery

In any cosmetic surgery procedure, it is very important for a patient to know clearly what the procedure can or cannot do for them. Despite the best explanations of the plastic surgeon, a patient may sometimes misinterpret the aesthetic goals that can be achieved with a certain procedure.

When a patient forms wrong expectations, the final results can be disappointing, even if the surgeon has performed the procedure very successfully. This scenario can be avoided with the help of facelift before and after photos. Most surgeons use these pictures to ensure that the patient forms realistic expectations from the facelift procedure in order to achieve satisfactory results.

Photos Online

A plastic surgeon may also provide facelift before and after photographs on the practice website. This can allow free access to the photos to anyone who needs to learn more about facelift surgery. A potential patient who may first like to know more about the surgery before considering a personal visit to the surgeon’s office for a consultation can simply review before and after pictures from the comfort of their home or office.

Mini Facelift Cost – Northern Virginia | Loudoun | Fairfax | Prince William | Fauquier | Arlington 

Mini facelift costDr. Trang Vo-Nguyen (Dr. V) is a board certified facial plastic surgeon in Chantilly, near Northern Virginia. She leads a state of the art plastic surgery practice called the Virginia Institute for Surgical Arts. Patients in Loudoun County, Fairfax County, Prince William County, Fauquier County, Arlington County, and nearby areas who are looking for facial plastic surgery procedures can receive advance treatment from Dr. V.

What is Mini Facelift?

Mini facelift is an innovative surgical procedure to reduce the signs of aging from the face in a minimally invasive way. The procedure is designed to reduce the risks typically associated with a traditional facelift plastic surgery procedure. The treatment involves minimal downtime and reduced swelling and discomfort during the recovery period. Dr. V is an experienced plastic surgeon providing mini facelift to patients in Middleburg, Leesburg, Fairfax, Manassas, Warrenton, Arlington, and surrounding communities.

Cost Factors in Mini Facelift

Compared to a traditional facelift plastic surgery, a mini facelift is a less complication procedure as it deals with selective areas of the face to reduce the signs of aging. Due to the quickness of this procedure, it is also sometimes called by the name of a Weekend Facelift. While a traditional facelift involves a major incision through which the underlying muscles and tissue are tightened and excess skin is removed, in case of a mini facelift only minor incisions are involved to tighten the neck and jowls and other targeted specific areas.

Location of the Practice

The cost of a mini facelift in Loudoun County, Fairfax County, Prince William County, Fauquier County, Arlington County, or nearby locations may differ from the cost of the same procedure in Chicago or another region. This happens because the cost of living in each region may differ, which may influence the cost of all products and services, including facial plastic surgery services.

Surgeon’s Fee

If the mini facelift procedure is performed by a highly qualified and experienced facial plastic surgeon, the fee charged may be higher compared to another surgeon who may not be a recognized expert in the area of head and neck surgery. A higher demand from patients may make a surgeon hard pressed for time for a particular procedure, and he or she may charge a higher fee. As per the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the surgeon’s fee should be a secondary factor, and patients should choose the right surgeon for their surgical needs.

Cost of Operating Facility

If a mini facelift procedure is performed at a state of the art surgical facility that is fully equipped with advanced technologies and systems, along with the backup of experienced support staff, and provides high quality services and comforts, it may charge more than an average operating facility.

Cost of Anesthesia

In case of a mini facelift, the patient will not require to undergo general anesthesia. That will save a considerable part of the cost in comparison to a traditional facelift surgery that is typically performed under general anesthesia. A mini facelift is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation.

Additional Costs

A mini facelift is performed on an outpatient basis, and the entire procedure can be completed within 45 to 90 minutes in most cases. Therefore, overnight stay costs are eliminated in this procedure. However, the patient should take into account costs of any medical tests, prescription medications, post-op visits or other related expenses. An accurate estimate of costs will help a patient arrange the finances for the procedure well in advance.

Average Cost of Mini Facelift

A mini facelift procedure will usually cost in the range of $4,000 to $7,000 depending on several cost factors as discussed above. This cost is usually about half the total cost involved in a traditional facelift plastic surgery. In cosmetic enhancement procedures, the cost is forgotten quickly, but the results are remembered for a long time. Therefore, patients should choose an appropriate procedure with a qualified, preferably board certified plastic surgeon specializing in facial plastic surgery for such a procedure.

Insurance and Financing

Mini facelift is typically performed for cosmetic reasons, which makes it an elective surgery. Health insurance plans normally do not provide coverage for such cosmetic surgery procedures. Patients may be required to make an upfront payment at the plastic surgeon’s office. Therefore, financing issue should be discussed with their office well in advance.

Some practices may provide guidance or assistance with regarding to arranging finances for the procedure. Alternatively, third party financing is available directly through various professional medical care finance companies. Financing can make it convenient for the patient to make payments in affordable monthly installments.

Facelift  – Northern Virginia

Fairfax Plastic Surgery | Loudoun | Cosmetic Facelift | ManassasDr. Trang Vo-Nguyen, also known as Dr. V among her patients, is a board certified facial plastic surgeon providing state of the art plastic surgery procedures in Chantilly, Northern Virginia. She heads the Virginia Institute for Surgical Arts, which is an advanced facility for cosmetic and reconstructive facial plastic surgery procedures. Patients in Loudoun County, Fairfax County, Prince William County, Fauquier County, Arlington County and surrounding areas have an opportunity to receive remarkable, impressive, and verifiable treatments from Dr. V.

What is a Facelift?

Facelift is among the popular plastic surgery procedures to reduce the signs of aging from the face and provide a rejuvenated look. The procedure involves skin tightening and reposition of fat, muscle and skin. People in the age group of 40 to 70 are usually magnificent candidates for this procedure, and a facelift can at least seven to 10 years off their face.

An experienced plastic surgeon will ensure that the patient achieves a younger looking face, but the basic integrity, countenance, and features of the face remain unaltered. Dr. V is a dedicated facial plastic surgeon providing facelift surgery for patients in and around Middleburg, Leesburg, Fairfax, Manassas, Warrenton, and Arlington.

Procedure

A facelift surgery practically involves lifting the skin off the face so that the underlying tissue and muscles can be tightened. Once this skin and muscle tightening is completed, the skin is repositioned smoothly over the face. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation and local anesthesia. The surgeon begins by making an incision starting in the temple area and circling the ear.

Through the incision, the muscle and tissue are tightened. The raised skin is then re-draped over the face and incisions are closed with sutures. A skilled facial plastic surgeon will make sure that the incision is made along the hairline or in an area where the skin would naturally crease to keep the scarring hidden. The procedure may take several hours, depending on the extent of surgery involved.

Recovery

The face is wrapped in a bandage after the surgery, and the dressings will be removed in a day or two. Drain tubes, if any, are also removed around the same time. Stitches will be removed in about a week or 10 days. The plastic surgeon may prescribe pain medications for a few days. The patient may experience bruising and swelling on the treated area for several days.

Patients must avoid smoking for a few weeks before and after the surgery. The patient can expect to resume normal activities within two to three weeks in most cases. Numbness may last for several months on the affected area, and the skin may feel dry and rough. Dr. V prepares and instructs her patients in Loudoun County, Fairfax County, Prince William County, Fauquier County, and Arlington County for the recovery period.

Facelift Types

Facelift procedure can be performed either with the traditional approach or with a modern endoscopic technique. The traditional facelift addresses the lower face and neck area, and involves removal of excess fat and skin and tightening of underlying muscles. A traditional facelift can improve the following conditions:

  • Loose skin
  • Sagging jowl
  • Fat deposits
  • Creases below your lower eyelids
  • Mid-face sagging
  • Creases around the mouth
  • Double chin

The endoscopic facelift plastic surgery, on the other hand, is a less invasive procedure. The advantage with this technique is that it leaves little or no scarring. The technique involves the use of a miniature camera that is inserted in the skin through tiny incisions. The surgeon can view the inside condition of the face with this technology and lift the upper face and cheeks in a safe and minimally invasive manner. This technique can help correct the following conditions:

  • Sagging brow
  • Frown lines
  • Sagging cheeks
  • Cheek folds
  • Lines around your mouth
  • Sagging jowls
  • Sagging mid-face

Choice of Technique

Both traditional and endoscopic facelift have their own merits, and the surgeon will choose the right technique that is best suited to a particular patient’s needs. Dr. V takes into account the unique aesthetic goals and health condition of her patients in Middleburg, Leesburg, Fairfax, Manassas, Warrenton, Arlington, and surrounding communities while recommending the appropriate technique.

The facelift procedure may be performed independently or in combination with other procedures such as brow lift or rhinoplasty. Patients should also be aware of what a facelift can or cannot do. This helps them have realistic expectations from the procedure, and they can experience more satisfactory outcomes.

The Virginia Institute for Surgical Arts in Chantilly, near Northern Virginia is led by Dr. Trang Vo-Nguyen (Dr. V), who is a board certified facial plastic surgeon. She provides state of the art surgical treatments to patients in and around Loudoun County, Fairfax County, Prince William County, Fauquier County, and Arlington County. Dr. V also appreciates the needs of patients who wish to reduce their facial signs of aging without plastic surgery. In such cases, she may recommend injectable cosmetic treatments such as Botox or Dysport.

Surgical vs Injectable Treatments

In some cases, the patient may be unsure whether to opt for facial plastic surgery or choose a minimally invasive injectable treatment such as Botox or Dysport. Dr. V will explain the pros and cons of both treatment options to the patient in detail in order to help them make an informed decision.

Outcomes with cosmetic surgery treatments such as facelift can be more comprehensive compared to Botox or Dysport. However, if the patient needs only minor improvements such as reduction of facial lines and wrinkles between the brows and reduction of crow’s feet around the eyes, it may not be necessary to opt for a surgery.

In some cases, the patient may not be prepared to undergo a surgery or may not be a fit candidate for surgical procedures. The next best option in such cases may be Botox or Dysport to reduce the signs of aging from the face and make the patient appear more youthful.

Dr. V may explain the difference of outcomes between surgery and injectable treatments to patients with the help of before and after images. Patients in Middleburg, Leesburg, Fairfax, Manassas, Warrenton, Arlington, and other surrounding areas may seek consultation with her for the best facial treatment options suited specifically in their case.

FDA Approved Injectable Treatments

Both Botox and Dysport are widely used injectable anti-aging treatments that can successfully reduce fine lines and wrinkles from the face. Botox was approved by the FDA in 2002 for cosmetic treatment of wrinkles and frown lines on the forehead. Dysport came up later as a treatment similar to Botox, and was also approved by the FDA in 2009 for same cosmetic purposes. Both treatments are based on botulinum neurotoxin, which temporarily paralyzes the overactive muscle on the face that is causing the wrinkle.

When the treatment is injected directly into the targeted muscle, the wrinkle will disappear immediately, and the effects may last for up to six months. Botox has recently been approved by the FDA for the cosmetic treatment of crow’s feet around the eyes. This has expanded the scope of treatment, and many more patients in and around Loudoun County, Fairfax County, Prince William County, Fauquier County, and Arlington County may now receive Botox treatment from Dr. V for the reduction of crow’s feet.

Dr. V makes use of before and after photos to show the outcomes that a patient may be able to achieve with Botox or Dysport treatment. This helps the patient make an informed choice between facial surgery, injectable treatments, and other invasive and non-invasive procedures.

Each patient has unique aesthetic goals, which may be addressed with a particular treatment in the best possible way. If the patient is looking for more comprehensive and long-lasting results, and is ready and fit to undergo a surgery, a facelift surgery or brow lift or eyelid lift may be the recommended options.

However, if the patient is happy with temporary results that can be achieved with Botox or Dysport treatment, the surgeon may support the patient’s choice, and recommend the appropriate treatment option.

Apart from helping decide the choice of treatment, before and after images can also provide another key benefit. They can ensure that a patient has realistic expectations from the procedure, whether it is a surgery or an injectable treatment. When the patients have a clear idea of what to expect as an outcome, they will typically draw a higher satisfaction from the results.

Choice between Botox and Dysport

Each patient may have different preferences when it comes to the choice of treatment. Dr. V offers both Botox and Dysport treatment options, and explains their inherent benefits to help patients make the correct, independent decision. Since both treatments essentially work on the same principle of blocking nerve signals to the wrinkle-causing muscle, there is not much difference between the two options.

However, Dr. V will show before and after pictures of previous patients who have received either treatment so that the patient can make a comparison and opt for the most suitable treatment according to their needs.

The Brow Lift – Northern Virginia

Brow Lift Plastic Surgery Northern VirginiaThe Virginia Institute for Surgical Arts provides advanced facilities for cosmetic surgery in Northern Virginia. The facility is led by Dr. Trang Vo-Nguyen (Dr. V), who is a board certified facial plastic surgeon. She is focused on providing safe and effective surgical and non-surgical solutions for facial rejuvenation. She makes use of the latest, proven techniques to reduce signs of aging and other discrepancies in the upper face, mid-face, lower face, and the neck.

Dr. V is board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery. With her special focus on facial plastic surgery, she can provide safe and effective facial solutions for patients in Chantilly, Fairfax and nearby areas in VA. She received her medical degree and completed her residency training at the University of Minnesota. She was chosen for a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, Shreveport, LA.

Types of Brow Lift

If the brows have become furrowed and the skin is drooping over the upper eyelids, it may need to be corrected both for cosmetic reasons as well as to restore clear vision. Brow lift procedure may be performed independently or in combination with facelift or other upper face procedures. Two main types of brow lift techniques include the following:

Classic Lift: This technique involves a single incision that begins at the level of the ears, and continues up around the hair line. The surgeon will take care to keep the incision hidden in the hair life so that the scar remains inconspicuous.

Endoscopic Lift: This technique involves multiple small incisions in the scalp. The plastic surgeon will insert a miniature camera or a scope on the end of a slender tube through an incision, and introduce another surgical device to make the necessary changes. Smaller incisions in this technique make it less invasive, resulting in quicker recovery, and minimal scars.

Brow Lift Consultation

Patients are advised to be candid about their innate desire and need for a cosmetic surgery during the initial consultation. This will help the surgeon recommend appropriate facial procedures to meet the patient’s expectations. The surgeon will also evaluate the general health condition and medical history of the patient. The entire forehead area will be evaluated along with muscular resilience and skin elasticity. The patient may clarify all concerns and doubts about the procedure at this stage, and make an informed decision about the surgery.

Preparation

Any facial plastic surgery procedure requires minor adjustments to the lifestyle. If the patient is a smoker, an important adjustment will be to quit smoking for several weeks before and after the surgery. Aspirin and other anti-inflammatory medications may have to be stopped temporarily. Patients with long hair that fall in the front may have to get them trimmed. Patients with very short hair may have to grow and maintain hair in a way to hide potential scars.

Brow lift is a relatively minor surgery, but any surgery still needs all the necessary pre-op precautions and preparations. Before leaving home, the patient should keep a stock of gauze and clean towels. Sufficient quantity of ice cubes, containers to carry ice or cold water and plastic covers to hold ice should be kept at home. Pillows may be necessary if the surgeon recommends the patient to keep the head elevated for a few days.
Recovery

Recovery will depend on whether brow lift is performed alone or along with other procedures, as well as the technique used. Stitches will be removed within a week in most cases. Patients can expect to have bruising and swelling in and around the area of surgery for a few days. Pain relievers may be prescribed for a few days.

Some patients may also experience tingling sensation and numbness for a few days, which will go away on its own. Most patients can resume their regular activities within a week to 10 days. The surgeon will instruct the patient to avoid vigorous physical exercise or heavy lifting for the first few weeks.

Risks

Side effects with brow lift are minimal and temporary. In rare cases, complications such as infection, conspicuous scarring, distorting of eyebrow movement or loss of sensation on the surgical site may occur. A revision surgery may be performed in such condition.

Brow Lift with Dr. V

Patients in Chantilly, Fairfax, and Northern Virginia may consult with Dr. V at the Virginia Institute for Surgical Arts for brow lift cosmetic surgery. She is a board certified facial plastic surgeon with experience in various facial plastic surgery procedures, including the brow lift.
