Neck Lift/Liposuction
 Although a formal, complete neck lift is very similar to a facelift, frequently the neck line can be improved with smaller procedures, or, even, liposuction alone.
When the tumescent technique is used in the liposuction of your neck and chin, the areas of fat are injected with an anesthetic which causes the fat to become swollen, or "tumesced". The resulting expanded tissues make the fat easier to remove. You will begin to notice the difference in your new look almost immediately after surgery.

(Nose Reshaping)
 One of the most common plastic surgery procedures, rhinoplasty is performed to reshape, reduce or augment a person's nose, remove a hump, narrow nostril width, change the angle between the nose and the mouth, or to correct injury, birth defects, or other problems that affect breathing. Results depend on the patient's nasal bone and cartilage structure, facial shape, skin thickness and age. Teenagers must be past their 'growth spurt' prior to surgery. Insurance may cover rhinoplasty if it is done for reconstructive or medical reasons, but not if done for cosmetic purposes.
Rhinoplasty is usually an outpatient procedure performed under either local or general anesthesia and lasts one to two hours unless more extensive work needs to be done.
Surgeons use one of two techniques. The "closed" technique uses an incision made within the nostrils, thus hiding scars after surgery. The "open" technique adds and incision on the underside of the nose (the columella) between the nostrils. This allows the entire internal structure of the nose to be sculpted. In both procedures the skin is lifted, the bone and cartilage sculpted, and the skin replaced and stitched closed. A nasal splint is usually in place for a week after surgery.
