Earlobe repair is appropriate for women and men with elongated or torn piercing sites.
Earlobe repair is a simple office procedure. This is performed with local anesthesia. After numbing the area, a sterile procedure is performed trimming and resuturing the area. You need to bring a earring post if you want your ears repierced. This will be placed after the suturing. The posts will remain in place for approximately 2 weeks while the skin heals. Then, the sutures are removed leaving a new piercing site.
A chin enhancement can be performed in many ways. If the teeth are in alignment, the chin can be enhanced by either an implant or an advancement (genioplasty). The procedure of genioplasty balances the facial profile by extending the chin in relationship to the nose. Dr. Jeffords prefers the genioplasty technique because of the post operative stability of the surgery.
Rhinoplasty is one of the most common plastic surgical procedures for young adults. Rhinoplasty derives from the latin words of nose remoulding. Nasal surgery is performed for many reasons.
