Diced or Crushed Cartilage graft in Revision Rhinoplasty

Friday, June 3rd, 2011

In Revision or secondary rhinoplasty, often the end result is a harsh look with significant asymmetry, this can be particularly evident in thin skinned individuals. Crushed or diced cartilage can be used to soften the nose and  create a more natural look, asymmetry can also be addressed. It can also be used to gain projection, and achieve up or down rotation. It is particularly advantageous in the nasal tip.

Dr Pincock uses this technique in all rhinoplasty operations but it is a critical manoeuvre during revision or secondary rhinoplasty.  Because he is a fully trained ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) Surgeon his ability to locate and remove cartilage from the inside of the nose and ear is very useful for revision rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty Specialist in Sydney

Sunday, May 29th, 2011

Rhinoplasty is an operation that should only be performed by a rhinoplasty expert or rhinoplasty specialist. Most ENT (ear, nose and throat) surgeons and Plastic surgeons have little or no experience with cosmetic rhinoplasty in Sydney due to the training schemes being largely based on the public hospital system. ENT trainee’s will get exposure to rhinoplasty procedures through the septorhinoplasty procedure for nasal breathing as cosmesis is corrected as well and rotation through private hospitals and plastic trainees will get exposure through de-gloving injuries and rotation through private hospital attachments. Therefore when seeking a rhinoplasty in Australia or Sydney you simply have to look past the doctor’s basic qualifications. FRACS is a start which means they are a qualified surgeon and being a member of ASOHNS or ASPS is better meaning they are an ENT surgeon or a plastic surgeon. However this is still not enough, your surgeon should be a facial plastic surgeon or a plastic surgeon with specialty training in rhinoplasty.

If you have any sinus disease or nasal obstruction you simply have to see an ENT surgeon with Facial Plastic Training.

Dr Pincock is a rhinoplasty expert and has dedicated a large part of his training to be a rhinoplasty specialist in Sydney. He completed a coveted fellowship in the US in facial plastic surgery and sat the US board exams in Facial Plastic Surgery, gaining him acceptance into the International Federation of Facial Plastic Surgeons, this Federation currently at the time of this post has only 3 Australian members. Dr Pincock is simply higher trained in this procedure than most other surgeons offering this procedure and that means that as a specialist in rhinoplasty he is able to offer a more natural, more aesthetically pleasing nose than most other surgeons and is able to address your nasal obstruction and sinus disease simultaneously.

What is a nosejob, nose job, rhinoplasty anyway ?

Friday, May 27th, 2011

what some people refer to as a nosejob or nose job is more correctly called a rhinoplasty.

A rhinoplasty is to change the underlying structure and therefore the shape and function of the nose.

A rhinoplasty in sydney is performed by a surgeon who is qualified to perform rhinoplasty procedures, this is usually an ear, nose and throat surgeon with appropriate facial plastic training or a plastic surgeon with a particular interest in rhinoplasty.  The cost of rhinoplasty  in Sydney depends on the complexity of the nasal procedure and whether it is a complete reconstructive rhinoplasty, revision or secondary rhinoplasty or primary rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty may be cosmetic or functional.

Rhinoplasty is also called nasal reshaping, nasal sculpting or nasal cosmetic surgery

Revision Rhinoplasty in Sydney

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Revision rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult facial reconstructive procedures. Often a secondary, tertiary or quaternary rhinoplasty has already been performed leaving the nasal cartilaginous framework ravaged and the skin overlying it scarred and abnormal.

This is one reason to get your rhinoplasty performed in Sydney by a well qualified rhinoplasty expert. This is either an ENT trained Facial Plastic Surgeon such as Dr Pincock or a Plastic surgeon who specialises in the face.

If you have already had a primary rhinoplasty and are unhappy with the results its always best to discuss this with your original surgeon first. You should not be embarrassed or reluctant to bring up certain issues with your rhinoplasty. The best rhinoplasty surgeon in the world has revision rhinoplasty patients and it is therefore not a reflection on your surgeon if you have an issue BUT how he deals with it.

If you are unhappy with seeing your primary surgeon again or have lost rapport, then seeing another surgeon may be necessary.

Remember although choosing your surgeon wisely for a first time rhinoplasty is important it is imperative that you do your research before seeing someone for a secondary rhinoplasty.

Your secondary rhinoplasty surgeon should not be contradictory to your original surgeon or make disparaging comments about your original surgery. It is impossible for the second surgeon to have an understanding of all the factors that led to the issue or have a complete understanding of the conditions of the original surgery.

Revision surgery may simply involve taking down a dorsal hump down a little further or filing down some unevenness from the osteotomies OR it may require a full reconstructive rhinoplasty requiring ear cartilage grafts, rib or even artificial material.

Remember that the nose is not just for looking good so at any stage of rhinoplasty, maintenance of a good nasal airway should be a primary goal for all rhinoplasty surgeons. If you get a blocked nose from a rhinoplasty it will drive you crazy!!!, luckily nasal obstruction following rhinoplasty or “post rhinoplasty nasal obstruction” is relatively easy for an Ear, Nose and Throat surgeon to correct.

Cheek Implants

Monday, February 1st, 2010

As we age the normal cheek volume descends downwards producing two classic characteristics of ageing.

Firstly the loss of normal cheekbone volume and definition and secondly deeper nasolabial folds

this can be addressed temporarily by fillers – in particular the new voluma from the juvederm range

http://www.sydneyfacialplastics.com.au/injectables.html

for a permanent result patients may opt for cheek implants, these are similar to chin implants but are designed to sit over the cheekbone giving a more prominent cheekbone. They are inserted through a tiny incision on the inside of the cheek and give an amazing result.

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.

http://www.sydneyfacialplastics.com.au/cosmetic.html#blepharoplasty

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
