Father's Day Gifts Ulterapy

Like any plastic surgery, the recovery in case of rhinoplasty will vary from one patient to another. This can depend on the extent of surgery performed, the skills of the cosmetic surgeon, and the natural healing ability of the patient. Dr. Suzanne Quardt will discuss the recovery process with her patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and other areas. She is a board certified plastic surgeon providing rhinoplasty and other surgeries.

First Week of Recovery

Most patients will experience a mild pain in the treated area and a dull headache for a brief period after rhinoplasty cosmetic surgery. Severe pain is rare, unless a patient suffers an infection after surgery. The surgeon may prescribe mild pain relieving medications for a few days to keep the patient comfortable during the early days of recovery. Congestion is a common symptom after rhinoplasty because there is internal swelling in the nose. As the swelling subsides gradually over a few weeks, the congestion will go away.

If the patient suffered from breathing obstruction in the nostrils prior to the surgery, they will experience an immediate improvement despite the swelling. Sometimes the plastic surgeon may also prescribe a mild sleep aid medication, if the congestion or other conditions interfere with sleep. Patients should avoid blowing the nose unless the surgeon allows for it. The degree of bruising and swelling during the initial period will depend on the extent of surgery and how delicately the tissues were handled. Bruising will be gone mostly within seven days of the surgery.

Time Off from Work

A majority of patients may have to take about five to seven days off from work following rhinoplasty plastic surgery. The patient is likely have a cast on the nose and may have stitches that need to be removed at the end of the first week. Once the cast and the stitches are removed, most patients could be ready to go back to work.

The patient can wash the face gently and put on some makeup to tone down the appearance of the treated area after a week. As an experienced cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Q tries to ensure that her patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage have to face minimal downtime. She performs rhinoplasty with incredible skill and care to achieve the desired results in a conservative manner.

Full Recovery

Within two to three weeks of rhinoplasty, nearly 75 percent of the swelling will have subsided. The patient will be in a position to notice and appreciate the improvements. However, detailed results will be visible only after six to eight weeks when about 90 percent of the swelling will be gone. Nasal tip in the initial weeks will feel slightly numb, which can make the patient feel slightly self-conscious.

However, as the weeks progress, more natural outcomes will appear. The complete natural feeling about the nose will return after six to eight weeks, but in some cases it may take longer. The results will be long lasting or even permanent in many cases of rhinoplasty and there is nothing wrong with this!

Rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure to reshape or resize the nose to achieve superior facial harmony. The procedure must be performed by an experienced cosmetic surgeon who has a track record of successful rhinoplasty procedures.

Dr. Suzanne Quardt is a board certified plastic surgeon providing rhinoplasty to patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and other areas. Here is a list of FAQ on rhinoplasty that should address the common concerns and queries of patients regarding nose surgery.

What is Rhinoplasty?

‘Rhino’ means nose and ‘plasty’ means shaping, forming or molding. Rhinoplasty, popularly known as a nose job, is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, or overall appearance of the nose to make it more attractive and proportionate to the rest of the face. The surgery could involve something as minor as removing an odd nose bump, or as major as complete nose reconstruction, involving nose implants, bone reshaping and grafting.

Is rhinoplasty a popular procedure?

According the statistics released by the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, rhinoplasty was ranked as the fifth most commonly performed procedure by cosmetic surgeons in the US in 2012. Advanced surgical techniques in rhinoplasty and its safe and effective outcomes have resulted in an increasing number of people, both natives and from ethnic backgrounds, opting for this procedure.

Why do people choose rhinoplasty?

Nose is the central feature of the face, and even a minor anomaly in the nose shape, size, or appearance can have a magnified impact on the overall facial profile. Such nasal defects can distract attention from an otherwise well-proportioned face. Some people may choose rhinoplasty in conjunction with chin augmentation plastic surgery or another procedure to achieve more comprehensive and harmonious outcomes.

Who is a fantastic candidate?

Any individual who is bothered by the size, shape, or appearance of the nose in relation to the rest of the face may be a salient and outstanding candidate for rhinoplasty. The procedure may also be recommended for people who face functional difficulties related to the nose, such as breathing obstruction. Ideal candidates will be non-smokers or willing to quit smoking several weeks prior to the nose surgery.

As an experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. Q will examine the facial anatomy, patient’s health condition and their aesthetic goals before determining whether they are good candidates. Patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and nearby areas may consult with Dr. Q for rhinoplasty.

What does the rhinoplasty procedure involve?

Rhinoplasty surgery may be performed using general anesthesia or intravenous sedation. The surgeon may decide to perform the surgery from within the nostrils or from outside. When the incision is place inside the nose, the scar will not show outside. In any case, the incision is placed discreetly, through which the resizing, reshaping, or re-sculpting of the nose will be done. Cartilage grafting or synthetic implants may be used in some cases, where the nose needs substantial reshaping, augmentation, or reconstruction.

How long will the results last?

The results of rhinoplasty are long lasting, and may even be permanent in many cases.

Rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure designed to improve the size or shape of the nose. Dr. Suzanne Quardt (Dr. Q) is an experienced plastic surgeon providing this surgery to her patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and surrounding areas. At the time of the initial consultation, Dr. Q discusses the cost aspects of the procedure with the patients so that they are in a position to make an informed decision.

Factors Affecting the Cost of Rhinoplasty

Variations may exist in the cost of nose surgery, and each practice may charge differently for the procedure. In some cases, the cost may also differ between two patients at the same practice. The following factors may affect the cost of rhinoplasty:

Practice Location

The cost of living index will vary between two different geographical regions in most cases. This can have an impact on the average cost of most products and services, including cosmetic surgery services. For instance, the cost of the procedure in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, or surrounding areas may not be the same as the cost in Oklahoma City.

Fee Charged by the Rhinoplasty Surgeon

The qualifications, experience and recognition of a cosmetic surgeon in the field of rhinoplasty may influence the fee charged by them for performing the procedure. Rhinoplasty is an intricate procedure that can have a major impact on the overall facial appearance. Therefore, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) recommends patients to choose the best surgeon for their needs.

Anesthesia and Operating Room Costs

Rhinoplasty plastic surgery may be performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation. The fee of the anesthesiologist may vary according to their skills and experience. The kind of technology, comforts, services, and skilled staff that is available at an operating facility may also impact the cost of the facility.

Nature of Surgery

Rhinoplasty is a highly customizable procedure, and may be performed according to the unique aesthetic needs of a particular patient. The extent and complexity of the surgery may influence the overall costs of procedure. Cartilage grafting, synthetic implants, functional corrections, or nose reconstruction are special procedures that may add to the overall cost of rhinoplasty cosmetic surgery.

The extent of surgery in case of rhinoplasty can vary from one patient to another significantly. If the surgery involves cartilage grafting from another area of the body, or the use of synthetic implants, the cost of the surgery may be higher than that of a simple procedure involving minor nose surgery. If the procedure combined functional and aesthetic improvements, the surgery may be more complex and lengthy, resulting in higher overall costs.

Average Cost

According to the ASPS data for 2012, the average monetary figure of a rhinoplasty procedure in the United States was $4,493. However, this cost does not include the costs of anesthesia, operating room costs and other related expenses. The ASPS also makes it clear that the costs will vary significantly from one practice to another depending on various factors. Patients should assess the cost of the procedure in view of the factors that impact the financial undertaking at a particular practice.

 

Dr. Suzanne Quardt (Dr. Q) is a board certified plastic surgeon providing some of the latest and most innovative cosmetic surgery procedures. One of the key procedures available at Dr. Q’s practice is rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job or nose surgery. Patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and surrounding communities who are looking to improve the size or shape of their nose may consult with Dr. Q.

Need for Rhinoplasty

The nose is among the prominent facial features that makes a significant contribution to the overall facial appearance of an individual. Even a minor anomaly in the appearance of the nose can have a magnified effect on the facial profile. Just a wide nasal tip or a bump on the nasal bridge can be enough to undermine the look of a person. The sparkling aspect here is that the shape, size, and appearance of the nose can be corrected with plastic surgery.

Dr. Q is an experienced cosmetic surgeon who understands the importance of rhinoplasty, and how can be transform the facial harmony and overall personality of an individual in a favorable manner. Patients located in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and nearby areas have an opportunity to receive state of the art rhinoplasty treatment at Dr. Q’s practice. Rhinoplasty is also an effective way to correct functional abnormalities of the nose.

Standout Candidates

Any man or woman who is unhappy with the appearance of their nose, or who is suffering from anomalies of the nasal function, such as obstruction in breathing, may be an appropriate and much anticipate candidate for rhinoplasty cosmetic surgery. The surgery may be performed on anyone who is in wonderful or stable general health, and has a fully developed nose and other facial features.

A decent or text book candidate will have a positive outlook, clear aesthetic goals and realistic expectations. The plastic surgeon will prefer candidates who are non-smokers or commit to stop smoking several weeks before and after the surgery. Patients suffering from functional problems of the nose may also be blossoming candidates for rhinoplasty.

Procedure

Rhinoplasty plastic surgery may be performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation. Depending on the case, the surgeon may perform the procedure from inside of the nose or from outside. When surgery is performed from inside the nostrils, it leaves no scars on the outside.

Even in cases where rhinoplasty is performed from outside, the incision is placed inconspicuously in the area between the nostrils. The procedure may involve surgical reduction of the nose size or refining of the nasal tip in case of Afro American patients. Some Asian patients may require enhancement of the nose size to make it more proportionate to the rest of the facial features.

Recovery

Most patients will experience mild pain and discomfort the first few days following rhinoplasty. The surgeon may recommend pain relieving medications for a few days. Bruising and swelling will last for a few weeks, and full effects of the procedure will appear as it resolves. Results of rhinoplasty are long lasting, and in many cases, the results may be permanent.

Body contouring can be achieved through plastic surgery as well as innovative non-surgical approaches to make a person appear more attractive and youthful. Dr. Suzanne Quardt is an experienced plastic surgeon providing this treatment to patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and surrounding areas.

Aesthetic goals with body contouring may be achieved through a single cosmetic surgery procedure such as liposuction, or a combination of surgical and non-surgical treatments. Patients who are keen to avoid surgical options may still achieve fat reduction in specific areas of the body through unique non-invasive treatments such as CoolSculpting.

Need for Body Contouring

Patients with stable and moderate body weight are usually outstanding and fantastic candidates for body contouring, if they are bothered by the appearance of specific fat pockets or loose skin in certain areas. These conditions may not respond easily to diet and exercise. Fat deposits may occur not only due to a fat-rich diet or lack of exercise, but also due to hereditary and other factors. Similarly, loose skin may occur following weight loss, pregnancy, sun exposure, or other causes.

In all such cases, the cosmetic surgeon may recommend body contouring as an effective aesthetic solution to restore a more attractive appearance. Significant improvement in shape and proportion of the body can be achieved with body contouring plastic surgery procedures. Typical areas of the body that can be treated effectively with various body contouring techniques include the abdomen, breasts, upper arms, neck, back, hips, thighs, buttocks, flanks, knees, and ankles.

Liposuction

As an experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. Q may recommend liposuction to suitable candidates in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and nearby areas who are looking for reduction of unwanted fat deposits in specific, localized areas of the body. Liposuction is an effective surgical approach to treat stubborn fat pockets in areas such as the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, neck, back and arms. Liposuction cosmetic surgery procedure may be performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation, depending on the circumstances of the case.

The surgeon will begin the procedure by making tiny incisions in the targeted areas, through which a slender tube or cannula is inserted to loosen up the deep layers of fat. Once the unwanted fat is dislodged, a syringe or suction vacuum is used to suction out the fat. The incisions are closed with sutures or skin adhesives. Enhanced body contour becomes visible as the swelling and bruising in the treated area resolves over a few days.

CoolSculpting

If the patient is not keen to undergo a body contouring procedure with a cosmetic surgeon, an innovative non-invasive solution called CoolSculpting may be adopted. This treatment has become quite popular in recent years because of its inherent benefits in terms of safe, effectiveness, and no downtime involved.

Unlike laser or heat based fat reduction or skin tightening techniques, CoolSculpting uses an innovative cooling process to freeze off unwanted fat cells. The procedure employs a patented technique called cryolipolysis. It allows an individual to gain a slimmer and more even contour in a gradual and natural looking manner.

Breast augmentation plastic surgery is designed to enhance the size, volume, and fullness of breasts. However, not everyone may be a good candidate for this procedure, or some patients may benefit more from other procedures such as breast lift.

One of the first goals of a cosmetic surgeon is to educate patients about various aspects of breast augmentation, and help them make an informed choice. Dr. Suzanne Quardt (Dr. Q) makes use of breast augmentation before and after images during initial consultation with her patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and nearby areas.

What are Breast Implant Before and After Photographs?

In case of breast implant cosmetic surgery, before and after photos refer to a set of pictures belonging to a previous patient who has gone through the same procedure successfully. The set includes pictures taken prior to the surgery and after the surgery when full effects are visible. The pictures are taken with proper consent of the patient in a discreet manner. The motive is to educate new patients about different aspects of breast augmentation more clearly.

Dr. Q’s patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and surrounding locations may review various before and after images for breast augmentation at her office. This can help them understand the effectiveness of the procedure more clearly in order to make an informed decision about it. As an experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. Q believes in the importance of before and after pictures as an effective visual tool to explain a procedure such as breast augmentation surgery.

Advantages

Many new patients may not have a clear idea of what the breast augmentation cosmetic surgery can or cannot do for them. Some patients may only need a breast lift and not a breast implant procedure. In some cases, the patient may benefit more from a combination of breast augmentation with lift. All such treatment options can be explained to the patient more effectively with the help of before and after pictures.

The choice of breast implants can also be a difficult decision for patients. An experienced cosmetic surgeon will provide breast implant before and after pictures to show various options in implant types, sizes, and shapes. The choice that a patient makes regarding implants will often have a significant impact on the final outcome of the procedure. Therefore, breast implant before and after pictures can be very handy for a surgeon during the initial consultation.

Forming Realistic Expectations

A fantastic and knowledgeable plastic surgeon will always try to ensure that the patient forms realistic expectations about breast implant surgery. Patients with a positive outlook, clear aesthetic goals and realistic expectations typically achieve higher satisfaction levels. With the help of before and after pictures, the surgeon can avoid any chance of misunderstanding on the patient’s part during initial consultation.

If the patient is not realistic about the outcome, she may feel disappointed in the end, even if the breast augmentation surgery may have been performed with great success. Such unsavory situations can be avoided entirely when the cosmetic surgeon makes use of before and after photos.

LIFT AND TIGHTEN THE FACE AND NECK WITHOUT
SURGERY OR DOWN TIME WITH ULTHERAPY

Ultherapy is a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment designed to fight the signs of aging in our skin by stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen.  The collagen in our skin helps it to stay firm, toned and elastic.  Sadly, as we age, our collagen levels decrease, causing the skin to lose elasticity and succumb to the effects of gravity, allowing our skin to sag as it is pulled downward.  Ultherapy uses the safe power of ultrasound to trigger our skin to create new, fresh collagen that can stand up to gravity and give the face and neck a firm, uplifted look.  Dr. Suzanne Quardt is a Board-Certified plastic surgeon with years of experience with both surgical and non-surgical approaches to body contouring and anti-aging treatments.  “Dr. Q”, as she is affectionately called by her patients, will listen carefully to your aesthetic concerns, and will design a customized Ultherapy treatment plan to ensure that your aesthetic goals are fulfilled.  Click Here to Learn More…
