East Asian and African Nose Augmentation

East Asian and African Nose Augmentation

Ethnic rhinoplasty represents a specialised approach to nose surgery that honours and preserves cultural identity whilst achieving desired aesthetic improvements. This delicate balance requires surgeons to understand diverse beauty standards across East Asian and African communities. For East Asian patients, common requests include bridge augmentation and tip refinement, whilst maintaining characteristic facial harmony. African rhinoplasty often focuses on addressing broader nasal bases and tip definition whilst preserving ethnic features that contribute to cultural identity. The key to successful ethnic rhinoplasty lies in understanding that beauty isn't a one-size-fits-all concept. Modern surgical techniques allow for customisation that enhances natural features without erasing cultural characteristics. This approach has revolutionised how we approach cultural rhinoplasty, particularly in leading medical tourism destinations like Turkey.

What is Recovery Like From a Deep Plane Facelift?

What is Recovery Like From a Deep Plane Facelift?

The deep plane facelift recovery journey follows a predictable timeline that helps patients understand what to expect during their healing process. During the initial 24-48 hours, patients experience the most intensive recovery period, requiring dedicated rest and careful monitoring. Swelling peaks around day three, with significant improvement noticed by the end of the first week.

Most patients see dramatic improvements in swelling and bruising between weeks two and three. By week four, approximately 75% of swelling has typically resolved, though subtle changes continue for several months. The complete healing process typically spans 6-12 months, during which time incisions fully mature and final results become apparent.

Otoplasty (Ear Pinning, Ear Reshaping Surgery) (Ear Correction Ear Repositioning)

Otoplasty (Ear Pinning, Ear Reshaping Surgery) (Ear Correction Ear Repositioning)

Otoplasty, also known as ear correction surgery, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of prominent or misshapen ears. This transformative treatment encompasses both ear pinning and reshaping techniques, allowing surgeons to address various aesthetic concerns. At our Harley Street clinic, we specialise in both traditional ear pinning, which reduces the angle between the ears and head, and comprehensive reshaping procedures that can modify the ear's structure. The procedure is suitable for both children (typically over 5 years old) and adults who are concerned about protruding or asymmetrical ears. Ideal candidates should be in good general health and have realistic expectations about the outcome. The surgery can address various concerns, including prominent ears, asymmetry, abnormal ear folds, and ears affected by injury or birth defects.

Deep Plane Facelift for the Midface, Lower face and Jawline

Deep Plane Facelift for the Midface, Lower face and Jawline

The Deep Plane Facelift represents the pinnacle of modern facial rejuvenation techniques, offering comprehensive restoration of facial aesthetics through advanced surgical methodology. This sophisticated procedure addresses multiple layers of facial tissue, providing more natural and longer-lasting results compared to traditional facelift approaches. By targeting the deep muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) layer, surgeons can achieve remarkable improvements in facial contours whilst maintaining natural expression and movement. The procedure's scientific foundation lies in its unique approach to facial anatomy, working with rather than against the natural tissue planes. This results in reduced tension on the skin, minimising the risk of the dreaded 'pulled' appearance often associated with conventional facelifts. The technique particularly excels in addressing mid-facial sagging, nasolabial folds, and jowl formation - common concerns that traditional facelifts may not adequately address.

Can a septoplasty and rhinoplasty be done at the same time?

Septorhinoplasty is an advanced surgical procedure that combines functional septoplasty with aesthetic rhinoplasty. This comprehensive approach addresses both breathing difficulties caused by a deviated septum and cosmetic concerns about nasal appearance. During the procedure, our skilled surgeons at New You Harley Street correct the internal septal deviation whilst simultaneously refining the external nasal structure.
