In addition to Rhinoplasty, another common plastic procedure individual’s opt for is Otoplasty.
Having ears that protrude can really stand out in one’s appearance. Ear reshaping or otoplasty is a surgical technique that alters the shape, appearance, or size of the external ear, allowing it to lie closer to the head. This procedure is most commonly performed on children that were born with a defect in the outer ear structure. However, the procedure is also performed on adults that want to correct ears misshappened since birth or from accident/injury.
If you are unhappy with the look of your ears, you may be a candidate for Otoplasty, also referred to as ear surgery or ear pinning. Please contact Orange County facial plastic surgeon Dr. Cory Yeh to set up a private consultation and find out if otoplasty is right for you.
Facelifts, also known as rhytidectomy surgery, is a type of aesthetic surgery performed to improve the patient’s facial appearance through the removal of excess skin and fat. The remaining tissues are then lifted to an elevated position on the face in order to counteract gravity, and contoured to result in a younger, rejuvenated-looking appearance.
In order to assess the needs of the patient, a patient’s medical history would need to be examined, as well as an explanation from the patient regarding the issue or problem. Common patients that we see include those with abnormal nasal bumps caused by distorted nasal processes of the bone, scarring or deformities caused by blunt trauma, birth defects that have affected the bone, cartilage, or skin, unsymmetrical or misshaped portions, and even those that have skin cancer. There are many reasons why people have come in for rhinoplasty, but there are often easy and simple solutions, which we explain to all of our patients prior to undertaking the procedure.
A facelift, technically known as a rhytidectomy is a type of cosmetic surgery procedure used to give a more youthful facial appearance. There are multiple surgical techniques. It usually involves the removal of excess facial skin, with or without the tightening of underlying tissues, and the redraping of the skin on the patient’s face and neck. Facelifts are effectively combined with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) and other facial procedures and are typically performed under general anesthesia or deep twilight sleep.

Beyond undergoing a surgical procedure, the risks of undergoing rhinoplastic surgery is minimal. If there are side effects, they typically involve a little bit of swelling and possibly bruising of the nasal regions and around the eyes. If continuous bleeding occurs, consult your doctor in order to protect yourself from infection.
Be sure to address your questions and concerns
It’s paramount that you consult with Dr. Yeh regarding your interest in a nose job. It’s perfectly normal to feel stressed or uneasy about any invasive procedure. Patient education is very important so don’t hesitate to ask questions.
Keep in mind that Dr. Cory Yeh is double board-certified in facial plastic surgery and he has performed Rhinoplasty in Orange County numerous times.
This process begins with several pre-operational procedures, which involve patient consultation, examinations of the exterior and interior nose including nasal cavity, and planning regarding surgery and recovery. Most surgeries of this type involve access and alteration of the bones and cartilage that support the nose so that it can be molded and re-shaped. Ethnicity, age and gender all factor into the delicate – complex art of rhinoplasty surgery and requires experience, skill and a thorough understanding of the facial/nasal anatomy in order to achieve results that are right for each individual.
