Functional rhinoplasty involves repairing the cartilage in your nostrils and correcting any structural defects that obstruct your airway to help you breathe better.

The world of facial injectables and dermal fillers can be overwhelming with all the options seen in print and TV ads. The biggest breakdown in classes of injections is between Botox® and its counterparts, Dysport® and Xeomin® (hereby referred to as “neuromodulators” because they affect muscle nerve endings), and dermal fillers, such as Juvederm®, Restylane® and Radiesse®. While neuromodulators are best used to affect lines caused by repetitive muscle motion, facial fillers are best used to enhance areas of low volume or deeper folds that are present at rest. For a straightforward example, frow ..read more

Botox©, or botulinum toxin, is an injectable medication that stops muscles from moving over a short-term period, usually 3-4 months. In order for muscles to move, they must receive a signal, a chemical transmitter, which attaches to a receptor on the muscle and gives it the signal to contract. Botulinum toxin stops the release of that transmitter, so the muscle cannot move. In nature, though rare, this toxin is considered one of the most deadly toxins, because it can cause the muscles that help you breathe to stop working. Over time, and after having been studied and perfected for almost 50 ye ..read more
