There are many reasons people, men and women alike, seek out help to improve the appearance of their eyelids. Common signs of aging often affect the skin around the eyes first and things like a heavy, drooping upper eyelid, which can even obstruct vision, puffiness in the lower lid and fine lines and wrinkles can be improved with Portland Blepharoplasty.

Blepharoplasty, also known as an Eyelid Lift, is a procedure which removes excess skin, fat or muscle from the eyelids to create a more alert, youthful appearance. Blepharoplasty is often done in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as a Brow Lift, Face Lift or BOTOX Injections. The first step to determining whether an Eyelid Lift is right for you, is through a confidential consultation with Dr. Petroff. Contact our office today to schedule your consultation.

The hardest part of a patient’s Plastic Surgery journey is often finding the right Plastic Surgeon for them. A great Plastic Surgeon has the accreditation, education, training and experience to sustain his medical skill, as well as the aesthetic, artistic eye for detail that enhancing, reconstructing and otherwise altering the human body requires.

It can be hard to know if the Plastic Surgeon you are considering shares your vision for beauty.

Asian Eyelid Surgery

jen — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 00:13:17 +0000

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.

These days, more than ever before, the options available to those wanting to turn back time and erase a few of those common signs of aging, are numerous. In previous years the only option available was a Face Lift surgery. While a Face Lift Surgery is still the most effective in reversing late stages of aging, those in the early stages or who only have smaller changes to make, can often find the results they seek through simple BOTOX injections. Portland BOTOX injections are one of Dr. Petroff’s most popular procedures. It is an effective, efficient and easy way to keep up a youthful appearance.

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.

Hair Transplantation – Portland

jen — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:59:00 +0000

Both men and women can suffer from hair loss and it’s never an easy thing to face. Hair loss effects different people in different ways, but often it attacks self-confidence the most. In the past, treatments for hair loss where largely noticeable, but in the past few years there have been some amazing advancements in Hair Transplantation to make them look more natural than ever.

Here at the Petroff Center we utilize two techniques for Hair Transplantation: Micro-Grafting and Mini-Grafting. Micro-Grafting uses donor pieces that include under 5 hairs each for a more natural look. The one downside to Micro-Grafting is that since it is so… well, Micro, it would take several, several hours to create a full, voluminous head of hair. Mini-Grafting takes donor pieces that have between 5 and 12 hairs to create a fuller more voluminous head of hair in less time.
