Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is the most common cosmetic procedure performed by Dr. Hoffman at North Fulton ENT, and the goal is to create a nose which is functional as well as aesthetic. This can be done in a very natural way, avoiding some of the unnatural or "operated on" look that is created by less experienced surgeons.
Dr. Hoffman has had extensive training and experience in the procedure and understands the need to create a nose which breathes well and looks aesthetically pleasing. Rhinoplasty can be performed as a single procedure, but it is most often done in conjunction with a nasal septoplasty. Reshaping the nose often requires the use of cartilage grafts, and these are taken from the patient. The rhinoplasty procedure can either be done completely internally, or with a small, nearly invisible incision at the bridge of the nose. At the end of the procedure, tape and often a splint are placed on the nose, and these are typically left in place for a week before their removal.
Upper Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
Upper blepharoplasties rejuvenate an aging upper eyelid by removing excessive skin and fat from the upper lid.
This procedure can be done under local or general anesthesia and is an effective way to open up the eyes and reverse a "tired" look. An incision is made in a crease in the upper eyelid, and eyelid skin and a variable amount of underlying fat are removed. The skin is closed with sutures which are removed anywhere from three to five days later, and the thin skin of the upper eyelid heals very quickly. When positioned properly and closed carefully, the incision line is soon very hard to see. There is very little down time from upper blepharoplasty, making this procedure a very popular way to restore a youthful appearance to the eyes.
