The Prevalence of Facelift Surgery Selecting to undergo a facelift procedure (rhytidectomy) has become more and more common over the past few decades. According to the 2017 statistics provided by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the demand for cosmetic surgery procedures around the world “continues to skyrocket”. This could be attributed to the combination of a general change…
Rhinoplasty surgery (a nose job) is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. It can correct, reconstruct, restore or improve your nose aesthetically. Surgeons can change the size, angle, and shape of the nose to make it more balanced with the other facial features. Whatever your reason is for considering rhinoplasty surgery, you should know that the results are permanent and…
Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty, with or without the use of the laser is one of the most common facial cosmetic procedures because it is a great way to refresh your appearance. With the passage of time, it is natural to experience some facial changes which may cause us to look older than we actually are. Excess skin, muscle and fat…
In this patient, a chin implant/neck liposuction procedure was combined with a rhinoplasty. These three procedures, when performed at the same time, result in a remarkable improvement in balance and appearance. The initial procedure performed is liposuction or liposculpture. Although there are many non-surgical options today for improving neck contour, when significant fat deposits are present, none of these will…
These three sets of photographs show before and after images of a patient that underwent open septorhinoplasty to address several concerns she had regarding the appearance of her nose.

These implants are…
Above are three sets of before and after photographs of a patient who underwent closed septorhinoplasty surgery 5 years ago*. Even though the closed rhinoplasty technique is not commonly used in my practice (mainly because the open approach provides superior access and control to the various nasal structures that require modification during complex rhinoplasty cases) this is an example of…
Cosmetic nasal surgery – otherwise known as rhinoplasty – is the most popular procedure in my practice. Although the nose is a central feature of the face, it should not be a focal point of the face. Rather, it should lead the observers into the individual’s eyes, lips and smile. In other words, after a successfully performed rhinoplasty, the nose…
The following is a series of three before and after photos of an open rhinoplasty procedure completed for a patient in our Vancouver plastic surgery clinic. The “after” photos were taken one year following the open rhinoplasty plastic surgery. The goal of the rhinoplasty was to make the nose more feminine and balanced with the other facial features. Specifically, we lowered…

The post operative photographs of this open rhinoplasty procedure were taken one year following her surgery.
