Have you always felt that your nose just doesn’t quite fit your face? Do you zone in on your nose in the mirror and view photos of yourself with a sense that there’s room for improvement?

The cosmetic procedure rhinoplasty is an effective method to reshape your nose and improve contour in order to bring a sense of balance and harmony to your face. Achieving a new, personalized profile designed by you and Dr. Aycock can be an long-term source of self-confidence and pride.

The goal of any rhinoplasty at Dr. Aycock’s plastic surgery practice is to provide you with a nasal structure that greatly enhances your aesthetic beauty and appears completely natural as well.

Nasal Design

Building a new nose based on your existing bone structure is an engineering feat that requires a high skill level, a firm grasp on the principles of bone and tissue reshaping, and an ability to not only articulate a vision, but also to bring that vision to reality with sophisticated plastic surgery techniques.

In the process of renewing your nasal profile, Dr. Aycock will perform a methodical facial analysis. The final nose design must be visually appealing on its own, as well as in relation to other facial features like the chin, cheeks, and forehead.

Every face is unique — what may be considered an overly prominent nose on one individual may appear weak or small on another. While Dr. Aycock is faced with the task of creating a nose shape that is pleasing to the eye, he must also design and execute a final nose appearance that brings all other features into balance. Finally, Dr. Aycock must ensure that any changes made respect the flow of air through the nostrils and allow for optimal breathing function.

What Would You Change?

Does your nose seem to broad, long, or bumpy for your liking? Perhaps the nostrils are too wide, or the tip is too bulbous. Whatever the problem, Dr. Aycock can work with you to develop a refreshed, attractive nose. Feel free to bring in photos of specific nose types that you find appealing. Dr. Aycock and his team will help you settle on a final design that is just right for your face. In some cases, the addition of a chin augmentation or cheek implants may help improve a patient’s rhinoplasty results.

To get an idea of the results that are possible with rhinoplasty, we invite you to view our nose surgery before and after photos.

If you have lost a significant amount of weight, a lower body lift is an effective cosmetic procedure for enhancing and slimming the areas affected by resulting sagging skin, such as the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. Loose skin is removed for a more toned appearance, residual fat is excised, and weak muscles are tightened. After a body lift, patients enjoy a newfound confidence and an improved appearance.

Body Lift Personalization

Since every body lift patient has unique needs, Dr. Robert Aycock will tailor your procedure based on the affected areas and degree of correction required for optimal improvement. Generally, the stages of a body lift are performed based on each patient’s specific areas of concern.

A body lift is often combined with inner thigh lift, arm lift, breast lift, breast augmentation in women, or gynecomastia correction in men. Liposuction to remove localized fat may also be performed in conjunction with each stage to provide optimal recontouring results.

The Three Stages

The body lift procedure can take anywhere from a few hours to several hours, depending on the extent of the issues. In the first two stages, the buttock, thigh, back, and hip areas are targeted. Sagging skin resulting from weight loss and aging is excised, and liposuction is applied to remove stubborn fat cells. During the third and final stage, excess skin and fat is removed from the abdominal area and the core muscles are tightened in a method similar to a tummy tuck.

Are You a Candidate?

If you have shed significant weight through diet and exercise, gastric bypass surgery, gastric banding, or other method, a body lift can help you achieve a normal, healthy-looking body contour through the removal of excess skin and residual fat deposits. The entire trunk area is reduced, firmed, and smoothed for results that help you finalize your appearance after weight loss.
