Rhino-Tastic!

Well it’s a plain as the’ you know what’ on your face. There it is again. Your sunglasses perch. Some people love theirs, others not so much. What to do if it is your least favorite feature? Dr. Chiu to the rescue!!!

Not all facial fixes require surgery; one of the hot new trends these days is the ‘non surgical nose job’. What is that exactly? Thanks to the recent innovations in fillers, Dr. Chiu is able to inject Radiesse, filler that is long lasting and will help create a bridge or fullness to a flatter nose. It is not a forever fix, but will give up to a year and a half change to your face. The filler in Radiesse is suspended in calcium spheres; they eventually dissolve and encourage your own collagen to grow. The syringe is extra large (1.5 vs. .8 ml) and looks a little like calk for grout. Is Dr. Chiu going to calk my face? The advantage of the larger syringe is…more product! More bang for your buck!

If your problem is more reduction than a build up, the best route is surgical. Dr. Chiu’s most popular surgery for the face is rhinoplasty. I have seen countless patients come in for their pre-op, followed by their surgery, and post-op. How many patients have I seen with a bandage and splint? Countless! How many patients have I seen so delighted with their new look? Everyone!

I think Dr. Chiu does the straightest noses in the business. I really do. What does he have in the operating room with him, a ruler? It is my favorite surgery because the results are so apparent. Everywhere you go; your nose leads the way. Your face is your first impression.
Dr. Chiu is careful not to alter your appearance so your friends and family won’t recognize you, just makes a major refinement, people will say ‘wow, you look AMAZING!’ When they see your profile they will marvel at how perfect your nose is. I do it every day with our rhinoplasty patients!

Every surgery starts with a consultation; the good news is that they are complimentary! Dr. Chiu will take an hour of his time to do an examination, discuss the surgery details with you and go over before and after photos of his recent patients. After your meeting with him, our Patient Care Manager will walk you through scheduling and financing options.

Before you know it, you’ll be nosing around everywhere! The new favorite part of your face!
