Cosmetic and Reconstructive Rhinoplasty in Vancouver
The shape of your nose can make all the difference between a balanced, attractive look and one that creates disharmony. Dr. Buonassisi has extensive experience with current approaches to both reconstructive and cosmetic rhinoplasty, and as a Vancouver facial plastic surgeon he offers a range of accurate adjustments that can help create better harmony between your features.
Dr. Buonassisi is committed to helping you understand and evaluate your options accurately, so patient education is an important part of his consultation process. He uses a sophisticated computer imaging system to illustrate what kind of results you might achieve through rhinoplasty, and makes sure to discuss clearly how he plans to adjust his objectives and technique to take into account factors like your ethnicity, gender, and other facial features.
Face Lift, Blepharoplasty, and Brow Lift: Your Options
A smooth, naturally young-looking face helps create a look of vitality and positivity, but sagging facial tissues can create wrinkles and folds that reverse your naturally vibrant look and leave you looking – and feeling – older. At his facial plastic surgery clinic in Vancouver, BC, Dr. Buonassisi emphasizes accurate procedure choices and natural-looking results in a full range of face and neck lift procedures designed to:
- Smooth and correct fine lines and wrinkles such as “crow’s feet”
- Reduce the appearance of large facial folds
- Remove excess facial fat in the chin and neck area with liposuction
- Restore the position of muscles and facial tissues that are showing the effects of gravity
- Correct “jowls” and loose skin around the mid-face, neck, and chin area
Dr. Buonassisi’s face lift procedures are also popular in combination with the following options:
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) – Using conservative techniques that create a very natural, smooth-looking result, Dr. Buonassisi’s British Columbia blepharoplasty procedures effectively remove loose, saggy skin and fat from above or below the eyelids
Brow Lift – To correct low brows and reduce the appearance of brow furrows and “frown lines,” Dr. Buonassisi can perform a brow lift to tighten and smooth the skin and muscles of the forehead so that they lie more naturally and attractively.
Lip Enhancement and Other Procedure Options
In addition to common cosmetic surgery procedures like rhinoplasty, Dr. Buonassisi provides a number of non-invasive and minimally-invasive procedures. Top options include:
- Lip Enhancement for Vancouver patients to create a fuller and attractive lip shape using injectable fillers such as JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel, Restylane® and Evolence®. Injectable fillers can also restore volume to the cheeks and eye area.
- Facial Implants to balance and refine the shape of an under-prominent chin or cheekbones.
- Ear Surgery to reposition overly prominent ears.
Dr. Buonassisi also provides collagen injections and BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments, as well as physician-strength skin care products. Find out more about Dr. Buonassisi’s extensive procedure options when you contact him online today or get in touch with his office by phone at 604-733-1669.
