From boxy to definition. This male rhinoplasty was performed to optimise the shape but predominantly to facilitate the breathing.

This rugby player suffered a severe fracture which caused the septum to invade completely the right airways.

The base view is still my favourite one because it shows symmetry and how dramatic is the change of shape.

Thank you for these kind words 🙏

Basic principles of Deep Plane Face Lifting.

The new era of facial rejuvenation is based on resuspension of deep soft tissues, such as fat pads and fibrous ligaments, into their original and higher position by self dissolving sutures.

This allows much finer and hidden scar, natural outcome and with no tension at all applied to the skin.

The consequence is a very smooth facial contouring with incisions placed strategically inside the ear and around its natural creases - as we do with many other anatomical segments in plastic surgery.

I am very grateful to my teachers:
1. Andrew Jacono first of all and since 2015. He is responsible for the evolution of the Deep Plane technique by Hamra to the Extended approach.
2 Michele Pascali for his novel and very powerful approach the orbital area along with amazing tips on deep plan dissection techniques.
3. Professor Giovanni Botti and Professor Mario Pelle Ceravolo, leading the best facial plastic surgery dissection course in Vienna for several years: I attended 3 times.
4. Francesco Stagno d’Alcontres who led me through the very first steps up to complex facial reconstructions following traumas and cancer.
5. Lucian Ion who is a master in neck rejuvenation surgery and the dynamics associated with aging. 6. Sa Johnathan Britto who took me through the first cadaveric dissection of the submandibular glands - while we were supposed to simply explore the anatomy of the neck through the submental approach.

This is a case of severe septal deviation following a trauma. These cases are more difficult to treat than primary deviation because the scar tissues caused by the trauma are more resistant to surgical manipulation than “virgin” tissues. It counts as a revision surgery but the results are very satisfying.

VASER liposuction to the arms: this procedure alone is so effective in achieving a natural definition while restoring my patients’ confidence in wearing their slim tops.

Although we perform more and more of arms-reduction procedures, is not an easy liposuction as the chances of irregularity are high - a bit like the operating on the inner thighs.

This surgery can be performed under twilight and the recovery is based on immediate full mobilisation.

Story of my life: happy patients never come back but send personal shots to say how the healing goes… this patient had a large to be reduced un**es sedation.

The result was very impressive immediately after surgery - as we shared in 2020. Makeup is not a friend of objective evaluation, but the overall cheek projection is very much in line with her initial outcome.

A young girl had a life changing procedure which gave her a huge confidence boost in life… so many ignorants never touched by the topic took the chance of commenting about this.

The personal or scientific base of their words was… “nothing”: it was simply a subjective idea matured on their own pillow and with the arrogance that it could apply to many others.

I aborre any similar participation: it needs guts to take actions on your own concerns, and yet is not easy. It is vile to sit on a sofa and judge those who decide to address their very personal issues.

Controversies about reducing buccal fat pad are justified, I agree. But we are not all the same: some of us are born with too much volume here and there, and this is not necessarily easy to go with as adolescents or adults.

Question: who knows about that other than those who suffer it?

General principles are also unfair. There is no law about how people should feel about themselves.

When too much or too little is making life complicated: talking it to a specialist is the way.

What do I think? No one should live a life pleasing what others believe “this is how should be, it is acceptable and it is enough” until they die - as we all do.

Bring your concerns up to a specialist, approach them methodically and analyse the options objectively: “risks against benefits” as well as “cost agains benefits”.

No is more effective than combined and . Also in this case the breast lift was combined with as
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Personal comments:
1) : I love to see the most damaged area, around the umbilical scar, to be so smooth. This young lady already had 3 pregnancies and with such a slim silhouette, delivering 3 kids had a very strong impact on her soft tissues.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2) : the side view (second slide) is my favourite because it demonstrates how this combined approach creates a perky breast without implants.
1) suspension of the breast tissue to the chest wall.
2) Galaflex: the internal bra will support the lower pole.
3) adequate skin reduction tailored to the internal reshaping.
4) no silicone implant needed in this case.

in male patients: for a natural result and yet a dramatic improvement.
This gentleman received a combined approach:
1) lateral - lift: 2cm incision hidden into his hair-bearing scalp.
2) lower with -facelift.
The surgical technique needs to be adjusted when treating boys or girls.
Male are more straight horizontally while female eyebrows are more curved and higher on their lateral third.
The - lifting the outer corner of the eye - also needs to be more conservative, in line with the inner corner of the eye (towards the nose).
In this case the right side of the face had more advanced skin laxity under the eyes and this was addressed with a , through the lower eyelids.
