Chin Augmentation – non Surgical Sydney NSW
March 31st, 2010
Most people know about dermal fillers and there use in facial rejuvenation. Fillers are also used to augment certain facial features such as cheek bones and the chin. Before this has been limited due to the frequency required to maintain a certain aesthetic appearance. However Allergan have just added Voluma to their range which is a hyaluronic acid filler that lasts for up to 2-3 years. This substance is perfect for semi-permanent facial augmentation.
For more info on voluma click below
Dr Pincock has performed many cheek and chin augmentations with this new filler and it is perfect for patients who want to try out a new chin or cheekbones without committing to a permanent procedure.
Voluma is performed by Dr Pincock in the rooms under local anaesthesia, the results are instantaneous and takes about 30 minutes.

Chin Implant
January 29th, 2010
Chin position on profile is a very important determinant of facial harmony. A strong chin denotes a powerful confident man and an attractive beautiful woman. This is often found in cartoons and caricature’s which depict superhero’s with strong jawlines and weak people with a receding chin. A weak chin can be easily corrected by a chin implant with or without rhinoplasty to address a patients overall facial harmony www.sydneyfacialplastics.com.au/cosmetic.html#chin
A chin implant can be placed through an external or internal incision and is a day stay procedure.

Functional Rhinoplasty and Alar Batten Grafts in Sydney
July 26th, 2010
Blocked nose is a common complaint from patients and septoplasty has been the traditional operation to correct this frustrating medical problem. Research has shown that a deviated septum is the only issue in nasal obstruction in very few cases. More commonly a blocked nose is from a combination of septal deviation, turbinate elargement and mucosal inflammation. A fourth factor that is commonly unrecognised by ENT surgeons is Alar segment collapse. This is where the side walls of the nose are unable to resist the inward pressure created when an inspiration through the nose is initiated.
Dr Pincock has learned of several techniques through his training in the United States to overcome this problem. Four cartilage grafts are harvested from the nasal septal cartilage that would otherwise be thrown away and inserted into key areas of the nasal valve to prevent nasal collapse. This reduces the collapse of the alar side wall and significantly increases nasal airflow

Fillers and Rhinoplasty in Sydney
July 5th, 2010
Fillers have definitely made their mark in modern facial aesthetics. But what role if any do they have in rhinoplasty?
I like to use them in 2 main ways.
1) as an alternative to surgical rhinoplasty for mild dorsal defects and tip asymmetry
2) to temporarily correct a contour issue after surgical rhinoplasty.
In the first instance sometime patients want to mask an issue of he nose such as a small depression or bump. This can be easily achieved with dermal filler and is safe, quick and the result is excellent if the right patient is chosen.
2) after rhinoplasty there may be small asymmetries or contour issues while we are waiting for all of the swelling to settle. This is a perfect situation to use temporary filler to help get through that period.

Combination plastic surgery procedures in Sydney
July 3rd, 2010
It is common to do multiple facial cosmetic procedures at the same sitting, however one cannot be cavalier about it. Some factors to take into consideration are total anaesthesia time, total surface area of surgical fields, total length of surgery and , surgeon fatigue (both mental and physical), expected time of recovery from the surgery.
Commonly performed multiple facial cosmetic procedures by Dr Tobias Pincock in Sydney are:
1. rhinoplasty and chin implant
2. rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty
3. facelift and necklift
4. facelift and blepharoplasty
5. facelift and blepharoplasty and browlift
6. rhinoplasty and necklift
If patients desire a body procedure and a facial procedure performed simultaneously then Dr Pincock works very closely with Dr Tavakoli who is amongst Sydney’s best breast augmentation and body cosmetic plastic surgeons. For more info visit www.drtavakoli.com.au
It is important to mention these to your surgeon at the time of consultation as it is impossible to add a procedure on the day of surgery as a “last minute decision”. Many times a patient is afraid to ask because they are worried about what the surgeon will think, but having an excellent result depends on very clear lines of communication between patient and surgeon.
Plan all these procedures carefully with your surgeon and discuss each risk and advantages and disadvantages of combining or separating these procedures.
Although Dr Pincock is not a fan of the “extreme makeover”, when planned carefully multiple procedures can have a dramatic effect on reducing ageing and improving ones appearance and self esteem.

Sydney Necklift (Neck Lift) surgeon, new technique
April 22nd, 2010
One of Dr Pincock’s areas of interest in ageing face surgery is the necklift. The neck lift is usually performed as part of the traditional facelift (face-lift) but can be performed on its own if someone has a sagging neck (turkey wattle neck) without lower facial jowling. One of the newer techniques from the USA is called the “corset platysmoplasty”, which was perfected by Feldman, a US based plastic surgeon. This technique is an excellent technique to improve a very saggy or fatty neck and Dr Pincock has brought this technique to Sydney and is acheiving great results. For more information or to book an appointment with Dr Pincock to discuss more about neck lift please call 02 88833699 or click on:

Facelift Techniques in Sydney
April 1st, 2010
Deep Plane Facelift, short scar facelift, necklift, cheeklift, MACS face-lift, threads, smas lift, composite lift etc – what confusing terminology to essentially describe similar operations.
Its no wonder that patients get very confused when trying to work out what they want for facial rejuvenation. First of all what works for one patient will not necessarily work for another. A short scar face lift or a MACS lift may work perfectly well for a 45 year old female with some early jowling but will not produce a great result in a 65 year old patient with a heavy neck and jowls.
for more info on facelifts please click here: http://www.aafprs.org/patient/procedures/rhytidectomy.html
To make things easier a Deep Plane facelift is a more extensive facelift that includes a necklift which is a great procedure for patients with a heavy neck and jowls. All the other techniques are more MINIMAL procedures that are for patients that do not have the same rejuvenation requirements.
Threadlifts were all the rage a few years ago because they promised equal results with minimal downtime – problem is they DO NOT give you long term results.
Each patient is differnt and the approach needs to be tailored specifically to that patients requirements and goals, the best way is to visit your Facial Plastic Surgeon or Plastic Surgeon with an interest in facial procedures to discuss the possibilities and possible outcomes.

Blepharoplasty Eyelift Eyelid Surgery in Sydney
February 10th, 2010
Blepharoplasty is one of the most powerful procedures in the armamentarium of a facial plastic surgeon to combat ageing and rejuvenate the mid-third of the face. As we age the fat that normally cushions the eyeball can herniate out giving bags under the eyes or puffy appearing eyes – this makes one look older and tired. A similar process occurs to the upper eyelid skin causing excess laxity and drooping of the eyelid.
Most people are concerned that an eyelift will make them look strange or have a “done” appearance. The newer techniques of blepharoplasty (eyelift) that Dr Pincock has learned in the United States allows him to achieve a natural appearing result without visible scarring. http://www.sydneyfacialplastics.com.au/surgeon.html
