Facelift


Growing older and wiser may feel wonderful, but when unwanted lines and wrinkles have come forth on your face – you may not enjoy the way your look has changed. A facelift may be a procedure to consider should you wish to “set back the clock.” Technically known as “rhytidectomy,” a facelift is an effective solution towards gaining a more youthful appearance. The effects of gravity, exposure to the sun, and the stresses of daily life are all contributing factors toward its popularity among men and women seeking enhancement; a facelift is one of the most sought-after cosmetic surgical procedures in the country. Rhytidectomy can perk up your image by improving the deep creases that form between the nose and the mouth (nasolabial folds), a slack and jowly jawline, and even the folds and fat deposits that appear around the neck. Although most patients are in their 40s to 60s, facelifts can be successfully performed on individuals in their 70s and 80s as well.

Dr. Dubrow of Newport Beach has years of experience in cosmetic surgery. With a keen eye for aesthetic beauty, he is committed to helping patients love their look – starting with their face. Frustrated with wrinkle creams and night treatments that don’t work? Rhytidectomy can improve certain areas that have been bothering you by providing long-lasting, youthful-looking results. The aging process will always progress; showing visible signs on our faces. Yet, a facelift can last anywhere from about five to 10 years. This surgery entails the removal of excess fat, the tightening of underlying muscles, and skin redraping of the face and neck. For a typical full facelift, the incisions usually begin above the hairline at the temples, extend in a natural line toward the front of the ear, and can continue behind the earlobe to the lower scalp. Still, the exact placement of the incisions and how the surgery unfolds depends on your facial structure and the doctor’s technique.

Meeting with a doctor during an initial consultation visit to discuss which facelift method is best for your condition should be a comfortable experience. This is a perfect time to share your goals and expectations with Dr. Dubrow, and with a practice rooted in personalized patient care and safety, he will address all of your concerns and answer any questions you may have.

Rhinoplasty


Most commonly known as “nose surgery,” rhinoplasty is one of the leading plastic surgery procedures performed in the United States. It can greatly improve the appearance of your face by reducing or increasing the size, changing the shape of the tip or bridge, narrow the span of the notrils, or even change the angle between the nose and upper lip. Many times, patients seek the expertise of Newport Beach plastic surgeon Dr. Dubrow for rhinoplasty in order to correct a birth defect or injury, or even to help relieve breathing problems. This procedure may raise your self-confidence and not only improve the size and projection of your nose, but complement other features of your face as well. Younger patients seeking nose surgery, such as teenagers around the age of 14 or 15, may not be considered ideal candidates for rhinoplasty because they are still in the midst of their growth spurt. Many surgeons will also take their social and emotional maturity into consideration as well; making sure that their decision is not a reflection of their parents’ feelings.

At the practice of Dr. Dubrow, the methods used for rhinoplasty depend on a patient’s condition. If you’re considering nose surgery as the route towards facial rejuvenation, you may undergo an “open” or “closed” procedure. The surgery can take anywhere from one to two hours, and is known to offer permanent results. The initial consultation is a great time to learn of your options, look at before-and-after photos, and ask the surgeon any questions you may have. In turn, your concerns will be addressed.

Rhinoplasty is a delicate plastic surgery procedure and should be performed by a doctor with extensive training and years of experience. As a leading physician in his field who is highly regarded by peers and patients alike, our doctor looks forward to learning of your goals with nose surgery.

Browlift / Blepharoplasty


Browlift
So you’ve had enough of the drooping brows, horizontal lines, and furrows that continue to make you appear other than how you really feel; and while you may not want to undergo a facelift for strictly upper face rejuvenation, you are still fixed on wanting to reduce the qualities that make you look angry, sad, or even tired. Therefore a browlift, or forehead lift, may be an option for you to consider. As you search for a good doctor to help enhance you appearance through facial cosmetic surgery, you may want to consider Dr. Dubrow in Orange County, California. He knows that getting the look you’ve always wanted can boost your self-esteem and help you feel more secure.

A browlift can be done in two ways. Depending on your condition, the doctor can use the traditional technique, which entails an incision behind the hairline at the top of the head, or through the use of an endoscope, which requires a few short incisions in the scalp. In general, this procedure can last from about one to two hours, should you desire an overall smooth look for optimal results, a browlift can be performed in conjunction with a facelift. The best candidates for this procedure are men and women over the age of 40 who show visible signs of aging. A browlift is known to restore a more youthful and refreshed look to the area above the eyes. Feel free to make an appointment with Dr. Dubrow for an initial consultation.

Blepharoplasty
Also known as “eyelid surgery,” blepharoplasty is a procedure to remove fat, along with excess skin and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. Because no one want to look older and more tired than he or she truly is, plastic surgery can effectively improve your appearance in practically any area you wish. Blepharoplasty can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes. Depending on an individual’s condition, such as whether or not vision is affected, he or she has the option to have just the bottom eyelids, the top eyelids, or both sets operated on. Similar to any other surgery you may be considering, the best candidates for blepharoplasty are those who are physically healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic in their expectations. Typically, the common age for eyelid surgery patients are those 35 years or older showing apparent signs of aging; however, if baggy eyelids are hereditary, this procedure may be performed on someone who is younger.

Depending on whether you’ve had all four eyelids done, blepharoplasty usually takes one to three hours. To learn if this procedure would be beneficial to your condition, make an appointment with Dr. Dubrow. Our surgeon would like to learn of your concerns with this procedure, and answer any questions you may have about its risks, uncertainties, and recovery.
