Facial Plastic Surgery
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is probably a Facial Plastic Surgeon's favourite surgical procedure. It is not always done to modify the appearance of the nose. It is sometimes done to correct a blocked nose caused by:
1. crooked nose
2. collapsed nasal valves
3. trauma
When Rhinoplasty is done for cosmetic reasons, the commonest requests are:
1. raise the nose bridge
2. make the tip sharper
3. make the base of the nostrils narrower

Upper Lid Blepharoplasty
Upper Lid Blepharoplasty is usually done to:
1. remove excess skin from the upper eyelid
2. create an upper lid crease - the so-called "double eyelid". This can be done with and "without" cutting skin
Many clinics do not warn patients that excessive skin at the corner of the eye (lateral hooding) may not be corrected by upper eyelid surgery alone. For more information, visit our blog
