Question:
I am a 35 year old male from Greenwood and have a wide nasal bridge. Am I a good candidate for a finesse rhinoplasty?

Answer:
Rhinoplasty can be used to correct many nasal features, including a wide nasal bridge.
This is typically corrected with precise bony cuts along the lateral side of the nose. Once these are created, the surgeon can narrow the nasal bones and thus narrow the nasal bridge. Determining if you are a good candidate for nasal bridge narrowing and rhinoplasty begins with a consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Question:
Will my skin become dry and flaky after my microdermabrasion treatment?

Answer:
Microdermabrasion exfoliates dead skin cells so skin doesn’t usually become dry and flaky afterwards if it is properly moisturized.

Question:
I am female, 50 years old, and would like laser hair removal of my chin and upper lip. How many times must I undergo the laser treatment before this is a permanent removal of my facial hair?

Answer:
Laser hair removal only works on dark, coarse hair. Treatments usually consist of 6-10 and are performed at 4 week intervals. Hormones can be a factor in hair growth and can cause new hair to grow even after laser treatments. I recommend a touch-up visit maybe once a year if needed.
