Most of us have always assumed the beauty is, indeed, in the eye of the beholder — but this may not actually be the case. A study into what sample groups see as “ideal faces” has uncovered surprising results that may give all of us a guideline for how to achieve what the most people consider to be the perfect face.
THE PERFECT FACE: WHAT DID SCIENTISTS FIND? The University of Toronto’s Professor K. Lee headed up a study that discovered how precise measurements can determine whether or not a woman has a “perfect face”. Luckily for all of us, it’s […]
Age
A patient’s age will inform the manner in which Dr. Fialkov performs a neck lift. Part of his signature neck lift technique involves a customizable, graded treatment approach where the surgery is scaled to each patient’s needs. A patient in their 40s may receive satisfactory results from a neck lift alone, while older individuals with jowls will typically require a partial lower neck facelift. Some patients may require a full facelift in order to address problems affecting the neck, jowls, lower and mid face (brows must be treated separately). Dr. Fialkov’s graded approach avoids unnecessary surgical steps and is able […]
Since no two patients are exactly alike in terms of their anatomy or aesthetic goals, similarly, no two facelift procedures are performed in exactly the same way. In general, at Edelstein Cosmetic, the price ranges from $16,000 to $22,000. The extent of the surgery and the patient’s goal will heavily influence the price. If you’re in the process of researching what a facelift might run you financially, the fact of the matter is that the best way to get an accurate idea will be to schedule a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon. During a consultation like this you’ll have […]
A common goal for all patients seeking rejuvenation surgery (facelift and brow lift) is a natural “not-done” appearance. The following are signs that surgeons must avoid to prevent an unnatural-looking, obviously “done” facelift or brow lift.
Common Signs Of A Bad Facelift Include
Stretched or Distorted Skin
Facelifts that are performed by excising and pulling the skin back incorrectly oe excessively often leave the patient with stretched or distorted skin. Modern surgical techniques, like the SMAS procedure, avoid this result by primarily targeting tissues located below the skin. When internal structures are shifted, the skin itself is not stretched as much and a […]
There are a number of different rhinoplasty surgeries that can be performed to correct the shape or size of your nose. Most of the time, people choose to have rhinoplasty performed because they are unhappy with the look of their nose, but other times, people need to have the surgery performed because of trauma or for a medical reason.
Below, we will go over some of the most common types of rhinoplasty that can be performed. Remember, when your surgeon chooses the type that is right for you, he or she must take into consideration your expectations, your desires, and the […]
The shape and size of our chins has a greater impact on our overall appearance than most of us would think. A chin that doesn’t project far enough will make our faces appear disproportionate and disharmonious as will an overly short or long chin.
Fortunately, these issues can be addressed through chin reshaping (genioplasty). A skilled craniofacial surgeon can use one of two techniques — sliding genioplasty or chin implant placement — to significantly improve their patients’ appearance.
ACHIEVING GREAT RESULTS
Chin augmentation works by correcting disproportionate facial features. Patients who suffer from an unusually small chin (micogenia), excess chin height, a disproportionate […]
Structural (or incisional) rhinoplasty refers to the modification of the nose by changing the shape and position of the nasal tip cartilage. This process leaves the skeletal framework of the nose strong and relatively intact, helping to make treatment safer, predictable, and more accurate. If any tissue is removed, particularly when fixing an oversized nasal bridge, hump or bulbous tip, it can also be referred to as excisional rhinoplasty. The excisional technique involves the removal (or excision) of some of the cartilage and other tissue found in the nostril and/or tip of the nose during the reshaping process. By removing […]
Revision rhinoplasty is a procedure that is designed to correct your nose after a nose job has been performed. Sometimes, you may not receive the results you expected from your procedure and a revision might be needed.

Is Revision Rhinoplasty Common?
Rhinoplasty is an operation of extreme precision, the changes are measured in millimetres and therefore small variations in healing or […]
