Vitiligo (pronounced /vɪtəˈlaɪgoʊ/) or leukoderma is a chronic skin disorder that causes loss of pigment, resulting in irregular pale patches of skin. It occurs when the melanocytes, cells responsible for skin pigmentation, die or are unable to function. The precise cause of vitiligo is complex and not fully understood. There is some evidence suggesting it is caused by a combination of auto-immune, genetic, and environmental factors. The population incidence worldwide is considered to be between 1% and 2%.[1]
According to Diseases Database: "A disorder consisting of areas of macular depigmentation, commonly on extensor aspects of extremities, on the face or neck, and in skin folds. Age of onset is often in young adulthood and the condition tends to progress gradually with lesions enlarging and extending until a quiescent state is reached."

Most Wanted Nose: Jessica Alba

2009-01-28T12:43:00.001+08:00

Hollywood’s annual cosmetic surgery survey of the swanky Beverly Hills Institute’s clients lists the top six most-requested A-list features in Hollywood’s operating theatres. “The list used to be dominated by classic beauties ? Catherine Zeta-Jones, Julia Roberts and Halle Berry ? but this year’s list is full of new talent, including Sienna Miller and Eva Longoria,” says Dr. Richard W. Fleming.

Most Wanted Cheeks: Naomi Watts
Old trend: Solid cheek implants — a big operation and costly.
Now: Adding volume with injections is quick, reverses the downward slide of time, and brings out your eyes.

Most Wanted Eyes: Sienna Miller
Old trend: An overdone rabbit-in-the-headlights look.
Now: “The most desired eyes are Sienna Miller’s, i.e., more voluptuous with heavier lids.”

Most Wanted Nose: Jessica Alba
Old trend: A teeny ski slope.
Now: Noses are stronger with less flesh and bone removed. “The ideal is that nobody can tell you’ve had your nose done,” says Dr. Fleming.

How rhinoplasty is performed

2008-12-16T17:45:00.000+08:00

It can be performed under a general anesthetic or with local anesthetic. Incisions are made inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty). Sometimes, a tiny, inconspicuous incision is also made across the columella, the bit of skin that separates the nostrils (open rhinoplasty). The surgeonfirst separates soft tissues of the nose from the underlying structures, then reshapes the cartilage and bone. Most people remain at home for a week. If there are external sutures, they are usually removed 4 to 5 days after surgery. The external cast is removed at one week. If there are internal stents, they are usually removed at four days to two weeks. The periorbital bruising usually lasts two weeks. Due to wound healing, there are minor and subtle shifting and settling of the nose over the first year.
In some cases, the surgeon may shape a small piece of the patient's own cartilage or bone to strengthen or change the structure of the nose. Usually the cartilage is harvested from the septum although if there isn't enough which can often occur in revision rhinoplasty, cartilage can be taken from the concha of the ear or rarely the ribs. In the rare case, again usually revision rhinoplasty, where bone is required, it is harvested from the cranium or ribs. Sometimes a synthetic implant may be used to reconstruct the nose. This is most common when augmenting the bridge of Asian noses.
To improve nasal breathing function, a septoplasty may also be performed. If there is turbinate hypertrophy, an inferior turbinectomy can be done.
There are several complications that can arise in rhinoplasty, although it is usually considered to be safe and successful. Post operative bleeding is uncommon and often resolves without needing treatment. Infection is rare and can occasionally progress to an abscess that requires surgical drainage under general anesthetic. Adhesions, which are scars that form to bridge across the nasal cavity from the septum to the turbinates, are also rare but cause nasal obstruction to breathing and usually need to be cut away. A hole can be inadvertently made at the time of surgery in the septum, called a septal perforation. This can cause chronic nose bleeding, crusting, difficult breathing and whistling with breathing.
If too much of the underlying structure of the nose (cartilage and/or bone) is removed, this can cause the overlying nasal skin to have little shape resulting in a "polly beak" deformity. Likewise if the septum is not supported, the bridge of the nose can sink resulting in a "saddle nose" deformity. The tip of the nose can be over-rotated causing the nostrils to be too visible and creating a pig-like look. If the cartilages of the tip of the nose are over-resected, this can cause a pinched look to the tip. If an incision is made across the collumella (open approach rhinoplasty) there can be variable degree of numbness to the nose that may take months to resolve.
The cost of rhinoplasty varies regionally and between surgeons. If it is for functional reasons, like breathing correction, it can be covered by many health plans. For example in 2006 in Ontario, Canada the provincial health insurance carrier paid $480, while the cost for cosmetic rhinoplasty varied between $1,000 and $10,000

Rhinoplasty/Nose Job in the entertainment industry

The Los Angeles Examiner of May 5, 1930, noted:
"Having one's nose shaped to fit the talkies is the most popular thing in Hollywood now. Hollywood plastic surgeons agree that more than 2000 facial beautification operations have been performed among film players within the past few years."
Siblings Michael, Janet and La Toya Jackson's are among the most prominent rhinoplasties in show business with a dramatic reduction of nose size and change of shape.
It is rumored that like many starlets, a young Marilyn Monroe had work carried out on her nose before her first film roles at the advice of her mentor Johnny Hyde. It should be noted that there is some controversy as to whether Monroe ever had a rhinoplasty. Her friend and biograher James Haspiel has stated "Monroe never had a nose job" although according to him she did have some modifications made to her chin. If this is true then the differences in size that have been observed in various pictures may be explained by the length of the lens used by the photographer.
In Bollywood, actress Sridevi is reported to have performed a nose job.

Get detailed procedural information on nose surgery

While the shape of your nose is usually the result of heredity; the appearance may have been altered in an injury or during prior surgery.

Also known as rhinoplasty, surgery of the nose improves the appearance and proportion of your nose, enhancing facial harmony and self confidence. Surgery of the nose may also correct impaired breathing caused by structural defects in the nose.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's plastic surgery

2008-05-16T01:44:00.000+08:00

Early this year bombshell Mariah Carey, the 39-year old singer married 27-year old rapper-actor, Nick Cannon.

Mariah had breast augmentation as well as laser liposuction . Possibly she had facial procedures to minimize the appearance of aging, including dermal injections such as Botox, Juvederm and laser skin treatments to maintain her smooth, poreless, wrinkle-free complexion such as Fraxel, Active Fx, and CoolTouch. A more drastic procedure is a possible rhinoplasty (nose job) to slim her nose as well as possible liposuction on her abdomen and thighs. Probably she needs a breast job to help her boobs stay firm and resist the force of gravity.

Nick her much younger husband does not need much plastic surgery but an obvious chin implant was carried out recently.

Rhinoplasty

2008-05-15T22:21:00.001+08:00

Rhinoplasty (Greek: Rhinos, "Nose" + Plassein, "to shape") is a surgical procedure which is usually performed by either an Otolaryngologist, Maxillofacial Surgeon, or Plastic Surgeon in order to improve the function (reconstructive surgery) and/or the appearance (cosmetic surgery) of a person's nose. Rhinoplasty is also commonly called a "nose reshaping". Rhinoplasty can be performed to meet aesthetic goals or for reconstructive purposes to correct trauma, birth defects or breathing problems. It can be combined with other surgical procedures such as chin augmentation to enhance the aesthetic results.

Rhinoplasty,types and how is it performed.

2008-05-08T09:56:00.002+08:00

Rhinoplasty is a complex art. For the nose, form and function are closely interrelated.The Natural Rhinoplasty emphasizes your positive features, subtracts the negative aspects, and restores harmony in your appearance without the obvious look of surgery. Each nose is a unique sculpture

Revision Rhonoplasty:
Revision rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to repair both form and function of a nose that has previously been operated on. Many people have difficult breathing from their nose or are dissatisfied with the cosmetic appearance of their nose as a result of prior nasal surgery.Revision rhinoplasty is a nose operation carried out to correct or revise an unsatisfactory outcome from a previous rhinoplasty. It is also known as secondary rhinoplasty. Occasionally there can be a third or even more surgeries. An unsatisfactory outcome occurs from 5 to 20% of rhinoplasties. There are two main reasons for performing secondary rhinoplasty. The first is purely cosmetic. A patient may be unsatisfied with all or part of a previous "nose job”. A nasal fracture may not have been reduced enough, or too much. A prominent or bulbous nasal tip may have not been addressed appropriately, or over-aggressively. The nose may looked pinched, it may look like a parrot’s beak, or like a boxer’s nose. There are many ways in which previous nose surgery may have left a nose aesthetically unappealing to a patient. The second reason is functional. The original nasal surgery may have been carried out to help with difficulties in breathing, and the outcome may have been unsatisfactory. Alternatively, the original surgery may have been performed for cosmetic reasons, but may have disrupted a normal physiologic mechanism involving the inspiration or expiration of air, making it difficult to breathe. Secondary rhinoplasty, and especially tertiary rhinoplasty, are extremely complicated procedures. This is self-evident because it is clear that even when the patient was operated upon for the first time, even when the tissues were “virginal,” and untouched the desired result could not be obtained.

How rhinoplasty is performed:

It can be performed under a general anesthetic or with local anesthetic. Incisions are made inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty). Sometimes, a tiny, inconspicuous incision is also made across the columella, the bit of skin that separates the nostrils (open rhinoplasty). The surgeon first separates soft tissues of the nose from the underlying structures, then reshapes the cartilage and bone. This is not a particularily painful procedure. Most people remain at home for a week. If there are external sutures, they are removed 4 to 5 days after surgery. The external cast is removed at one week. If there are internal stents, they are usually removed at one to two weeks. The periorbital brusing lasts two weeks. The swelling subsided over several months, the majority in the first one or two. Due to wound healing, there are minor and subtle shifting and settling of the nose over the first year.

In some cases, the surgeon may shape a small piece of the patient's own cartilage or bone to strengthen or change the structure of the nose. Usually the cartilage is harvested from the septum although if there isn't enough which can often occur in revision rhinoplasty, cartilage can be taken from the concha of the ear or rarely the ribs. In the rare case, again usually revision rhinoplasty, where bone is required, it is harvested from the cranium or ribs. Sometimes a synthetic implant may be used to reconstruct the nose. This is most common when agmenting the bridge of asian noses.

To improve nasal breathing function, a septoplasty may also be performed. If there is turbinate hypertrophy, an inferior turbinectomy can be done.

There are several complications that can arise in rhinoplasty, although it is usually considered to be safe and sucessful. Post operative bleeding is uncommon and often resolves without needing treatment. Infection is rare and can occassionally progress to an abscess that requires surgical drainage under general anesthetic. Adhesions, which are scars that form to bridge across the nasal cavity from the septum to the turbinates, are also rare but cause nasal obstruction to breathing and usually need to be cut away. A hole can be inadvertently made at the time of surgery in the septum, called a septal perforation. This can cause chronic nose bleeding, crusting, difficult breathing and whistling with breathing. If too much of the underlying structure of the nose (cartilage and/or bone) is removed, this can cause the overlying nasal skin to have little shape resulting in a 'polly beak' deformity. Likewise if the septum is not supported, the bridge of the nose can sink resulting in a "saddle nose" deformity. The tip of the nose can be over rotated causing the nostrils to be too visible and creating a 'miss piggy' look. If the cartilages of the tip of the nose are over resected, this can cause a pinched look to the tip. If an incision is made across the collumella (open approach rhinoplasty) there can be variable degree of numbness to the nose that may take months to resolve.

The cost of rhinoplasty varys regionally and between surgeons. If it is for functional reasons, like breathing correction, it can be covered by many health plans.

The ideal nose by surgeon Geoffrey W. Tobias M.D

2008-05-04T22:28:00.004+08:00

The Rhinoplasty in the video was done by Dr. Philip Solomon.

Facial plastic surgeon Geoffrey W. Tobias M.D. specializes in Rhinoplasty or commonly known as Nose Plastic Surgery. He has pioneered the "un-nose job," the nose job that one can't tell it's a nose job. To do this, he has developed a totaly new technique known as "nasal memory surgery."

Geoffrey W. Tobias M.D. has developed a revolutionary new technique known as " nasal memory surgery." He is literally able to give the tissue of the nose a new memory to create a new and better shape. Traditionally, surgeons removed a tremendous amount of excess tissue in order to make the nose smaller and more attractive.

This approach can result in the ski slope, pinched or turned-up nose, the "un-natural nose" everyone recognizes. Using nasal memory surgery," Dr. Tobias removes a minimal amount of valuable tissue and actually repositions what remains with highly specialized, permanent sutures.

This new technique enables the nose to retain its natural look. It is the Tobias philosophy that no nose should ever look surgically done. The goal is always to create a nose that complement the face, and is in proportion with the other facial features. With Tobias "nasal memory surgery," there is no cookie cutter nose job.

Asian Rhinoplasty or nose plastic surgery

Left: Before surgery.
Right: 7 weeks after surgery.

This 25 year old female Asian complained that her nose was too wide and flat. She did not like her wide nostrils and the width of the tip.
The Asian nose is naturally wide. Just how wide the nose should be is a personal choice. Notice how the nose was narrowed to fit her face.
The bones, cartilage, and nostrils widths were reduced.
A rhinoplasty does not have to look like surgery was done. Negative features can be minimized while the positive ones emphasized. She had an open rhinoplasty under general anesthesia. The bones and cartilage were moved closer and the width of the lower nose reduced.
There is a gentle elevation of the nasal boney dorsum. Moving the bones closer raises the dorsum. No dorsal graft was used during this nasal surgery. Excessive elevation of the Asian nose can look very unnatural
