Blepharoplasty-Eyelift-Eyelid Surgery

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Blepharoplasty is a fantastic way to rejuvenate the face. Over the years the fat pad that the eyeball sits on to cushion it in the skull can herniate out from under the eye causing a puffy appearance or bags on the lower eyelid. On the upper eyelid skin can hang down making a person look tired and even obstruct vision.

Upper and lower blepharoplasty can be undertaken at the same time and in combination with other procedures, it is a very powerful technique to rejuvenate the face and turn back the clock.

Dr Pincock offers the latest techniques in this surgery that he learned overseas and has brought to Sydney. For more information see this website

Latest Heidi Montag Photo’s

Friday, January 29th, 2010

These results are very early post-operative photo’s – the frozen look is probably due to alot of makeup to hide bruising and swelling.

Look out for Dr Pincock’s commentary on Montag’s surgery in the next edition of Dolly magazine

Internal Rhinoplasty – Is it scarless? or a scam?

Friday, January 29th, 2010

There are 2 main ways to perform rhinoplasty, through an external incision or through internal incisions inside the nose – this is sometimes called scarless surgery. The reality is that many more manouvres can be performed though an external approach rhinoplasty and therefore in most noses a more natural appearance can be acheived.

In some cases an internal approach simply cannot achieve the result you are looking for. The “scar” in external rhinoplasty is so small and discreet in almost all people and cannot be seen on close inspection.

So to answer the question is scarless surgery a scam – sort of.  Beware of any surgery that promises “minimal scarring” because it usually means “minimal results”. Any rhinoplasty surgeon should be able to perform internal and external approach rhinoplasty and may have a preference for one over another but should be able to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of both.

Chin Implant

Friday, 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.
