Facial Implants Information 

Cheek | Chin Facial Implants | Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Northern VirginiaFacial implantation is a plastic surgery procedure designed to enhance facial contours. It involves the use of synthetic or natural implants to improve the facial balance and a more sculpted facial appearance. Dr. V is an experienced, board certified facial plastic surgeon providing facial implant surgery to patients in Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, Warrenton, and nearby areas.

Facial implants can be used to augment a recessed chin, provide improved definition to the jaw line, make the facial structure more proportionate, and provide a well-defied contour to the face. Chin and cheekbones are two of the most common areas where facial implants can be used effectively.

An Overview of Cheek Implants

Augmented cheek bones can enhance the appearance of the face dramatically. If the face appears sunken underneath the eyes or mid-face area, cheek augmentation can improve that appearance. It can restore facial proportion by the improving the maximal projection point. Cheek implants can also help patients with a narrow face. The implants can be placed apart in a way to make the face appear wider. Conversely, by reducing the gap between the implants can make a wider face look narrower and more angular.

Dr. V uses the latest techniques for effective cheek augmentation for her patients in Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, Warrenton, and nearby areas. According to Dr. V, the three key variables that can be used to achieve the desired impact include implant volume, implant shape and projection, and implant position. A balanced use of these variables can help a patient achieve the desired aesthetic outcomes.

Chin Implants

Chin is one of the areas that can make a significant difference to the overall facial balance. Along with the nose, the chin determines the facial symmetry of the lower face. If the chin is short or small, it can create an illusion of a larger sized nose or a poorly defined chin. Similarly, a disproportionately long chin can make the nose appear smaller, and the upper face to appear depleted or sunken. Even minor improvements in the chin’s appearance with implants can lead to marked improvement in the overall facial harmony.

Chin implant procedure begins with the selection of the right size and shape of implants that will enhance the facial profile and balance. The soft, biocompatible implants are surgically inserted into the space above the front of the jawbone. Following the implant procedure, the patient will experience some swelling and bruising. However, most patients will be able to recover well within a week, and return to work. Results can be dramatic and long lasting with chin implant surgery.

Synthetic facial implants are usually produced with a variety of materials such as high density polyethylene, high strength silicone, nylon mesh, and other compounds. An experienced surgeon will tailor the implant material, size, and shape according to the facial form in order to achieve the best possible aesthetic goals as desired by the patient.

Rhinoplasty (Nose Job Surgery) Costs Northern Virginia

Rhinoplasty (Nose Job Plastic Surgery) Cost Fairfax | Northern Virginia Dr. V performs rhinoplasty procedure for her patients in and around Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, and Warrenton. The cost of this procedure may vary from one practice to another based on several factors, and in some cases it may even differ from one patient to another at the same practice.

The following factors may impact the overall cost of the procedure:

Where the Practice is Located

The cost of living in two different regions may not be the same, which will influence the costs of all kinds of goods and services in a particular area. For instance, the cost of rhinoplasty in Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, Warrenton, or nearby areas may differ from the cost in Santa Monica, CA.

Plastic Surgeon’s Fee

The plastic surgeon may charge a fee in accordance with his or her experience, skills, and reputation in performing rhinoplasty. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) recommends that patients should choose the surgeon appropriately, and the surgeon’s fee should only be a secondary consideration in the selection.

Anesthesia and Operating Room Costs

If the procedure is performed under general anesthesia the cost may be different compared to a situation where a minor correction to the nose is performed under local anesthesia. A state of the art surgical facility with the latest technology and experienced support staff may charge slightly more than an average facility.

Average Cost of Rhinoplasty

According to the national average figures regarding the cost of various plastic surgery procedures released by the ASPS, the cost of rhinoplasty in 2012 in the United States was $4,493 on average. However, this cost does not include the costs of anesthesia, operating room costs, or other related expenses.

The cost also depends on the length and complexity of the procedure. If the procedure involves revision rhinoplasty to correct the anomalies of a previous nose surgery, the cost may be higher than that of a primary surgery. The cost of a major rhinoplasty involving a complete re-doing of the nose, including correction of structural deformities, implants and cartilage grafting to recreate the nasal framework may be significantly higher than a minor corrective nose surgery.

If the rhinoplasty procedure involves using cartilage from another part of the body, it can add the operative time as well as the overall cost of the procedure. The cost of revision rhinoplasty or a major rhinoplasty procedure may range from $8,000 to $15,000, depending on several factors.

Insurance and Financing

When rhinoplasty is performed as an elective surgery for aesthetic reasons, the patient’s health plan will not provide coverage for the costs. However, if the procedure is performed to correct functional issues, which could include obstructed breathing, the cost of the procedure may be covered under the health insurance plan. Patients can also have the procedure financed through professional medical care finance companies. Payment can be made in convenient installments when rhinoplasty is financed through such third parties.

2O_yNwqpA92KTl90IERIh6oGMRO0vVYzyNCBd_CrpBs,CIHbm3aCj53nUhuHdKRPHxBIWwlO3yUqexVO-SMxR_cAs a facial plastic surgeon, in addition to consultations for surgical improvement of facial aesthetics, I am often asked by patients about basic skincare as a complement to other efforts. I like to compare beautiful skin to a perfect canvas on which an artist manifests her masterpiece. The skin on your face and neck can signify to others a lot about your health and how well you take care of yourself. Yet, many of us disregard our skin’s health and often spend little time nourishing it. Indulge your skin to allow glowing illustration of your emotions.

The most basic skincare regimen consists of cleansing, moisturizing, and protecting.

Wash your face twice a day with a mild cleanser specifically formulated for the face.  You may use a soft brush or your fingers to gently exfoliate and refresh in the morning, and de-stress and fully cleanse in the evening after a long day.

Moisturize with a balanced complex that uniquely harmonizes with your type of skin:  dry, neutral, oily.  Don’t be tempted to skip this step if you suffer oily skin.  Lack of moisture initiates a vicious cycle that throws your skin even more off-balance and causes more oil production.

And most importantly, protect your canvas at all times from the harsh aging effects of the sun.  Allow me to repeat.  Protect. Protect. And protect!  Each and every morning, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF of at least 30, covering both UVA and UVB.

In the summer months, constant reapplication is essential as the sunscreen shield often fades away during activity.  Don’t neglect your skin in the coming winter months.  Although the sun may not be directly beaming down on us, its rays still reach and damage our skin.  Most of us in the metro area spend an abundance of time in the car commuting during the week.  Sun exposure comes directly and indirectly reflected from other cars, from dashboards, from any shiny surface. Protect yourself.

In addition, always apply an initial layer of sunscreen before you apply make-up or other cosmetic products. Even though some products offer a degree of sun protection, most do not fully prevent sun penetration adequately. Check and confirm next time you pick up a foundation product.

Vigilance and dedication to nourishing and cultivating your skin with delay the signs of aging and lead to a healthy canvas whereupon a work of art and expression arises.
