Asian Eyelid Surgery
Common both in the United States and in Asia, cosmetic eyelid surgery is a growing trend among Asian men and women. Through eyelid surgery the eyelids can be altered in shape, height, decrease the epicanthal fold (the skin on the nose side of the eyelid) and create a crease in a double eyelid. There is a strong misconception that this procedure is meant to “Westernize” these patients or that they do not wish to look Asian. Every patient has their own reason for choosing to undergo a plastic surgery procedure, but in most cases, the goal of the patient is to look and feel their best, to look younger or to balance facial features and create symmetry.
You can learn more about this procedure, view before and after pictures, and contact our office to schedule a consultation to discuss further questions, concerns and goals.
Portland Rhinoplasty – Nose Function and Aesthetic Repair
Dr. Petroff has helped countless Portland area men and women achieve both aesthetic and functional satisfaction with their noses through Rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty, also called a Nose Surgery, Nose Reshaping or even a Nose Job, is a procedure designed to improve the appearance or structure of the nose. Structural issues would be any problems in the nose’s structure making it difficult to breathe through. Aesthetic issues would be nose’s that are considered too large or too small in overall size or in nostril size, nose’s which are misshapen, or have bumps or indentations.
Other issues, such as a poorly done previous Rhinoplasty, trauma or disease, can also bring patients in for reconstruction of the nose. To learn more about Rhinoplasty, view photo’s of Rhinoplasty patient’s results, or to schedule a consultation with Dr. Petroff, contact our office today.
