Blepharoplasty is the name of the surgery to improve the appearance and/or function of the eyelids

The aesthetic appearance of the eyes and the vision can be affected in time by aging, environmental (sun, pollution) and genetic factors. Laxity of eyelid skin, muscles and excess fat tissue around the eyes lead to the settlement of wrinkles and eye bags on the eyelids, giving a tired look for the patient.

The principal aesthetic goal of lower-eyelid blepharoplasty is to rejuvenate the appearance of the lower eyelids while preserving their shape, position, and function. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty may also be used in treating the sagging of the lower eyelid due to loss of facial nerve function. In this aspect it is performed to restore normal appearance and protect the eye from excessive dryness and more serious complications related to chronic dryness. It is not only about skin; it includes the skin, underlying structures and orbital fat .

Face Lift surgery has changed dramatically over the past two decades. Stigmata of early, subcutaneous face lift techniques included an operated, overly lifted and unnatural appearance. These suboptimal results have effectively been replaced by the naturally appearing, predictable and long lasting results of sub-SMAS and deep plane face lift operations. Modern face lift techniques no longer apply significant tension to the lifted skin. Liposuction of the neck is frequently performed with a modern face lift. Thus an imbalanced appearance between an overly stretched face and an undertreated neck can effectively be avoided. Placement of the incisions has also been improved. The incision line runs inside the ear canal (retrotragal line), thus rendering the incision lines nearly invisible, even when the hair style is such that the ears are not covered.

An otoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to improve the shape of your ears. The type of deformity of your ears may be minimal such as an inward curved lobule or a major deformity in the shape of cup ears. 

An otoplasty can be performed for one or more of the following reasons:

• to alleviate the deformity in your ears
• to create symmetry between your ears
• to decrease the size of your ears
• to re-shape the deformity in children’s ears to decrease the amount of teasing they are exposed to.

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that is offered for two reasons:

First, it is performed to improve the aesthetic appearance of the nose. The goal is to generate a cosmetic result that is in harmony with the remainder of the face. 

Second, it is performed to alleviate a blockage of the nasal airway and to create an air passage that allows for comfortable and unhindered breathing.

The closed rhinoplasty technique:

No incision is placed on the skin and the structures of the nose are approached through incisions on the inside of the nostrils. When the corrections of the cartilaginous and bony structures of the nose are completed, the incisions are closed with sutures.

A small incision is placed across the columella. The columella  is the strip of skin between your nostrils. This incision is combined with incisions on the inside of the nostrils. The skin of the nasal tip is then carefully lifted up and the cartilages and bones of the nose are surgically corrected. At the end of the procedure the skin is redraped and the incisions are closed with fine sutures. The small scar on the skin between the nostrils typically heals well and is barely perceptible in most cases.
