For prospective patients living in Ventura County, a consultation with a Board Certified Ventura Plastic Surgeon can give great insight on procedure details such as results, recovery time, and post-operative care. It is also important for a plastic surgeon to assess a patient’s candidacy for a procedure based on medical history, the targeted area to be treated, among other things.

Rhinoplasty, or Nose Reshaping procedures in the western region of the US account for 27% of overall Rhinoplasty procedures performed in the country making it one of the top performed procedures in not only the western region, but in all of the US. With a Rhinoplasty Ventura residents can reshape and refine the nose to a pleasing contour that improves their overall facial profile by harmonizing with surrounding facial features. The ultimate goal of a Rhinoplasty procedure is to take the focus of the eyes from a dominant nose, back up to the eyes of the patient, which should always be a focal point of attention.

In Ventura Facelift procedures help both men and women greatly reduce the visible signs of aging. There are different types of techniques that may be used during a procedure such as a “deep plane” facelift or “mid-facelift”. The plastic surgeon will determine which type of technique to be implemented based on the patient’s facial rejuvenation needs and areas of concern. Facelift procedures have become popular as they are effective and provide long-lasting results.
