Rhinoplasties are frequently performed on men, women, young patients, seniors, etc. Essentially, there’s no one type of candidate for this procedure. It’s used for a variety of reasons, but the best way to determine if it’s right for you is by scheduling an in-person consultation with Dr. John LeRoy. This will give you the opportunity to ask any pertinent questions and receive a detailed professional evaluation that will provide clarification.

What features can a rhinoplasty improve?

A rhinoplasty addresses a variety of cosmetic issues. Its effective on people of all ethnicities and age demographics. Rhinoplasties focus on three primary things: skin, bone, and cartilage. By creating the right adjustments between these components, Dr. John LeRoy can make specific changes that improve the overall size, shape, and symmetry of a patient’s nose.

A nose is a centerpiece to a person’s look. It is one of the more distinguishing traits on the face, so it creates feelings of self-consciousness in many people when their physical qualities aren’t proportional or evenly shaped. The following is a list of common nose-related issues that can be fixed with a rhinoplasty.

  • Nose shape that is too wide or narrow<
  • Nose tip that is positioned downward, upward or to one side
  • Size of nostrils
  • Length of the nose

Most Popular Cosmetic Treatments for Women

, , , ,

National trends in cosmetic procedures change based on the advancement of surgical techniques and shifts in beauty standards. It’s important for both plastic surgeons and patients to know which treatments are in high demand. Dr. John LeRoy provides quality care with any plastic surgery service, but patient education is one of the highest priorities in our office. Because there is a lot of unreliable information that circulates online and from person to person, the following is a breakdown of the most popular cosmetic treatments for women.

Most Popular Cosmetic Treatments for WomenBreast Augmentation

The breast augmentation procedure has been at the top of the list for most popular procedures for many years. It’s a safe way to achieve your ideal breast form. Women can increase their volume, modify shape and improve symmetry. Dr. John LeRoy has successfully performed breast augmentation on women with all different body types and preferences for over 25 years.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

One of the main areas that shows a person’s age is around the eyes. Depending on the patient, the focus of the procedure can be placed on the upper or lower eyelids and in some cases, both at the same time. A lower blepharoplasty can eliminate excess fat and sagging skin that can take years off of an appearance. The lower portion of the eye can also shift in shape and position with age. Many patients who have “bags” under their eyes select a lower eyelid blepharoplasty as a solution to correct these common, unwanted physical traits.

Liposuction

Body contouring with liposuction is consistently at the top of national popularity because of how efficiently it removes body fat. Women who want fat safely removed can select from the following regions:

  • Arms
  • Legs
  • Abdomen
  • Love Handles (Flanks)
  • Thighs
  • Hips
  • Back
  • & more

Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty)

The nose is one of the most prominent facial features that defines a person’s look. Many people who aren’t happy with the way that their nose is shaped often feel a lack of self-confidence. Thankfully, the rhinoplasty procedure can thin, lengthen, shorten, augment or lift the nose to fit a patient’s preferences and match their personal facial symmetry.

Tummy Tuck

Traditional methods of burning fat through diet and exercise may not produce fruitful results. For patients who have stubborn, excess fat, skin or a muscle pooch, a tummy tuck can spare them of frustrations in their attempt to attain a slim and contoured look. Dr. LeRoy also offers the Band Aid Tummy Tuck, performed in-office with gentle numbing, for more subtle results on smaller areas of fat or skin.
