How Your Nose Can Change Your Look | Huntsville Plastic SurgeryAre you looking to make some changes to your looks? Do you have a crooked nose, or do you think it is too large? Do you have trouble breathing through your nose? All of these things may be helped with Rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty is commonly known as a nose job. It is a plastic surgery procedure for altering and reconstructing the nose.

There are two types of plastic surgery used in a rhinoplasty depending upon what is the ultimate goal and outcome that you would like:

  • Reconstructive surgery restores the form and functions of the nose.
  • Cosmetic surgery changes the appearance of the nose.

Here are some things that rhinoplasty can treat:

  • Nose size in relation to facial balance
  • Nose profile with visible humps or depressions on the bridge
  • Nose width at the bridge
  • Nasal tip that is enlarged, drooping or hooked
  • Nostrils that are large, wide, or upturned
  • Nasal asymmetry

Are you a good candidate for rhinoplasty? Generally, if you are in good health, have no serious medical conditions or illnesses you be a good candidate. If you are a smoker, Dr. McLain will ask that you quit, or are able to stop for a prolonged period of time.

Rhinoplasty can enhance facial harmony and the proportions of your nose. It can also correct impaired breathing caused by structural defects in the nose.

Dr. McLain will examine your nasal structure as it relates to airflow and breathing. A deviated septum is one of the most common causes of breathing impairment.

Should he determine that rhinoplasty can help with your breathing, Dr. McLain will adjust the nasal structure to produce better alignment, which will make breathing a lot easier.

Dr. McLain will examine your nose and your entire facial structure to help you determine the best course of action when you want to make cosmetic changes. The goal will be to create facial balance and correct proportion.

Breast Augmentation: Improving Your Overall LookAre you ready to make some changes to your overall look as swimsuit season approaches? Are your breasts sagging and not looking as youthful as they once did? Breast Augmentation may be the answer.

Breast augmentation, commonly referred to as a boob job, involves using breast implants or fat transfer to increase the size of your breasts. The procedure can achieve a more rounded breast shape, improve asymmetry in the breasts and restore breast volume. Breast volume is often lost after significant weight loss or pregnancy.

Breast augmentation involves placing implants into the breasts for a larger, fuller looking chest area. Implants can be used for reconstructive purposes, such as after a mastectomy for breast cancer, or for cosmetic reasons.

What breast augmentation surgery can do:

  • Improve balance of breast and hip contours
  • Increase fullness and projection of your breasts
  • Enhance your self-image and self-confidence.

Sometimes, to help correct sagging, Dr. McLain will perform a breast lift – or Mastopexy in addition to augmentation to give you a more pleasing look.

There are two types of breast implants: Silicone gel, and saline

Silicone gel-filled implants are silicone shells filled with a plastic gel. Many women say that these types of implants feel more natural, however, they can post more problems should an implant develop a leak.

Saline implants are silicone shells filled with sterile salt water. Some are pre-filled, some are filled during the surgical procedure. Dr. McClain will discuss this with you at your consultation.

Both saline and silicone implants come in different sizes and have either smooth or textured shells.

Before your breast implant procedure, you will meet with Dr. McClain for a medical evaluation. You may talk with him about your own expectations, as well as ask him any questions you may have about the procedure and recovery period.

Dr. McClain and his staff will work with you to ensure that your expectations are attainable so that you will be pleased with your new breasts.

Xeomin Injections 

Xeomin is a prescription treatment which helps in improving facial aesthetics. This is an FDA approved treatment that temporarily reduces the appearance of glabellar lines. It allows one to appear younger. Xeomin contains naked botulinum toxin, a type of neurotoxin. There are no additional proteins that may cling to active ingredients.

Final results following the treatment generally take a day or two to appear completely. Xeomin is similar to Botox and Dysport in all other aspects. You should compare the cost of Xeomin with other noninvasive treatment options. Your cosmetic surgeon will discuss the advantages and limitations of the procedure to help you make a well-educated decision.

Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Landon D. McLain provides Xeomin wrinkle reduction injections to patients in Huntsville, Madison, Florence, Decatur, Scottsboro, Cullman, Athens, Alabama, and surrounding locations.

Cost of Xeomin vs. Plastic Surgery

Xeomin is more cost effective as compared to other plastic and noninvasive treatments. You don’t need anesthesia or sedation for the injectable. You can resume everyday activities right after the procedure. Facial rejuvenation and anti-aging procedures are usually expensive. This is particularly true for chemical peels, RF, ultrasounds, and lasers.

Skin care treatments, in most cases, require more than a single session. However, you can acquire salient results in just one sitting in the case of Xeomin. The injections are more cost effective as compared to other facial rejuvenation procedure. It doesn’t require anesthesia, post-operative recovery, or multiple consultations.

Different Xeomin Rates

Xeomin is an individualized treatment plan which can be changed for suiting individual needs and goals. The cost of treatment can marginally differ between two practices and patients getting the procedure in the same practice. Extensive treatments and off-label procedures cost more than regular ones as a rule. This includes using Xeomin for removing frown lines and crow’s feet. You may need to pay more for the product if you want to reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds.

Beware of Low-Priced Offers

Xeomin parties and other off-site procedures are becoming popular. They are attracting people by offering abnormally low process. However, it’s vital that Xeomin only be administered by a trained treatment provider. As per the FDA, the injectable should only be administered by experienced and trained injectors. This is because of the many side effects of botulinum type A, a powerful neurotoxin.

Xeomin is Cost Effective

Xeomin was found to last longer and work faster as per a randomized, double-blind study. The study involved 180 people and assessed their appearance over a 6-month period. Women were found to experience greater benefits as compared to men. Xeomin may be more cost effective as compared to Botox because of longevity of results based on this study.

Insurance Coverage and Financing Options

Xeomin treatments are not covered by the typical healthcare insurance provider. This is particularly for cosmetic wrinkle reduction. However, the treatment may be covered if it is a medical necessity. You can also make use of several financing options for paying for the procedure. These financing options are offered by third party medical care financing firms.
