Some have trouble breathing due to a structural abnormality while others simply do not like the way their nose fits in with the rest of their face. North Carolina Rhinoplasty can correct the physiological issues as well as bring symmetry to a persons face. The various reasons rhinoplasty is performed makes it one of the most common cosmetic procedures. No matter what your reason for wanting to change your nose, Charlotte plastic surgeon Dr. Victor Ferrari can help you with all of your nose woes.

The nose has both an aesthetic and a physiological purpose. Physiologically, it is our main avenue through which we breathe. Aesthetically, the nose is a central focus of our face, providing balance and harmony to our facial features. The shape of the nose helps one to breathe properly, so if there are any abnormalities, either because of genetics or prior injury, ability to breath may be affected. In a similar way, when there is injury to the nose or some kind of abnormality the symmetry of ones face can be thrown off. Luckily, rhinoplasty can be used to correct most issues a person has with thir nose.

Charlotte Intense Pulsed Light Photofacials

Monday, February 6th, 2012

Our skin conveys a message about us to others whether we want it to or not, whether that message is accurate or not. Skin care is important for a number of reasons both for our confidence and for our overall health. Today almost everyone knows the importance of staying out of the sun and using proper sunscreen and other precautions to help lower your risk of skin cancer, though just a decade or so ago this was not the case, and even today not everyone listens to these warnings or takes them seriously. Premature signs of aging are often brought on by extended sun exposure. If you are someone with sun damaged skin, or if you suffer from other skin imperfections such as acne or rosacea, you may be a good candidate for IPL Photofacials.

IPL Photofacials, or Intense Pulsed Light Photofacials, is a non-invasive rejuvenating skin treatment that uses the cutting-edge technology of the Intense Pulsed Light to improve the quality of your skin. The treatment only takes about 20 minutes and generally 4-6 sessions are needed to achieve the optimal results. As it is non-invasive, there is no down-time for recovery and no activity restrictions.

Contact our office and schedule your confidential consultation with board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Victor Ferrari today to learn more.
