Areas of Expertise
Rhinoplasty
This surgical technique enhances the nose's appearance, addressing deformities or asymmetries in the bone and cartilage structure. Advances in technology have introduced more precise tools like the Ultrasonic Bone Cutter, which allows for detailed shaping of the bone without damaging surrounding tissues, leading to faster recovery and minimized long-term issues
Revision Rhinoplasty
For those unsatisfied with their first rhinoplasty, revision surgery offers a chance for correction. It's highlighted that even the most skilled surgeons might have cases needing minor adjustments. Revision procedures are notably more complex and require a surgeon well-versed in rhinoplasty and up-to-date techniques
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
This specialized rhinoplasty addresses the unique anatomical features of individuals, particularly of African or Asian descent, aiming to modify the nose's structure for a thinner, longer appearance. Such procedures often involve cartilage grafts to achieve the desired outcome
Blepharoplasty
Focused on the eyelids, this procedure removes excess skin from the upper eyelids and reduces lower eyelid bagging. While it primarily serves cosmetic purposes, it can also improve vision for older individuals with droopy eyelids. The surgery doesn't correct dark circles, crow's feet, or other facial wrinkles
Bichectomy
Aimed at sculpting the face, this procedure removes buccal fat pads to create a more defined facial structure. It targets cheek fat that's resistant to diet and exercise, offering permanent results by enhancing the cheekbones and reducing facial roundness
Otoplasty
This procedure corrects prominent or protruding ears, affecting self-esteem across ages and genders. Through surgery, ears can be made less noticeable, reduced in size, or repaired from injury. Otoplasty may involve removing or reshaping ear cartilage and skin, often under local or general anesthesia
