Face
Your face is often the first thing people will notice about you. It’s also something you will look at at least once each day. If you don’t like the face looking back at you, our team at Bourhill Plastic Surgery will help. To learn more about the cosmetic surgeries for your face offered here, continue reading.
RHINOPLASTY
One of the most common facial surgeries patients come to us to perform is known as a rhinoplasty, or “nose job”. However, this operation can be done for more than purely cosmetic purposes. Rhinoplasties are also performed to help patients dealing with breathing issues.
During this procedure, our plastic surgeon will reshape your nose. It can be done to alter the nose bone, the cartilage, or your skin. The specific aspects of this surgery will vary on a patient to patient basis based on one’s facial features and desired results. If cartilage needs to be added to your nose, it can be taken from your inner ear, or other parts of your body. Cartilage and bone can also be removed to achieve the desired results.
FACE LIFTS
A sagging or drooping face can be aesthetically unpleasing and cause a serious hit to your self-esteem. Sometimes, there is no natural way to stop the effects of mother nature. Skin can begin to loosen as we age, causing an unwanted visual. If you’re dealing with mass amounts of sagging skin and wrinkles on and around your face, a facelift can be used to eliminate them. During this procedure, our team will help with:
- Removing excess skin.
- Smoothing out skin folds and wrinkles.
- Tightening loose facial tissue.
BLEPHAROPLASTY
Do you have unwanted bags and loose skin around your eyes? Have you tried everything to correct the issue to no avail? If this sounds like you, a blepharoplasty may be the solution you’re looking for.
Aside from being a cosmetic issue, having excess skin around your eyes can cause unwanted issues with your vision. Fortunately, our plastic surgeon will be able to help with that. Blepharoplasty involves removing excess skin around your upper and lower eyelids to achieve a younger look while also improving your vision. Consider reaching out to us at Bourhill Plastic Surgery if you’re interested in this operation.
ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES
Our plastic surgeon is committed to providing you with the face you’ve always dreamed of. To physically look like how you’ve always envisioned yourself, our plastic surgeon can also perform the below procedures:
- Cheek enhancement.
- Chin tucks.
- Neck lifts.
- Eyebrow lifts.
WHAT IS BOTOX USED FOR?
Botox is a drug that when used correctly and in a correct manner, can have beneficial cosmetic effects in people. While botox is derived from a deadly neurotoxin, studies show that in the correct uses it is safe to use and has only a few potential side effects. With the right application, Botox is used to treat some muscle conditions and reduce cosmetic irregularities such as wrinkles. To learn more about Botox, and how it can help you, reach out to us at Bourhill Plastic Surgery for the Top Facial Plastic Surgeon Long Island.
What Does Botox Do?
Botox is a neurotoxin, meaning that it affects the nervous system in your body. It disrupts the nerve signaling in the area it is applied, giving numbing, paralyzing, or weakening effect to the applied muscles. Specifically, Botox stops the nervous release of acetylcholine which is responsible for the contraction of muscle cells. To see how Botox can help you, contact us at Bourhill Plastic Surgery, the Top Facial Plastic Surgeon Long Island.
Uses for Botox
The main uses of Botox are cosmetic effects, such as reducing facial wrinkles. The effects of Botox are only temporary, lasting from three to twelve months. Some of the more common cosmetic applications of Botox include frown lines, or glabellar lines, wrinkles around the eyes known as crow’s feet, creases in the forehead, lines in the corner of the mouth, and even cobblestone skin on the chin. While some people also use Botox to treat other cosmetic problems, they have not all been proven effective or there has not been enough evidence to support those uses.
Additionally, there are medical conditions related to muscle contractions that can be treated with Botox. By interrupting the nerves and stopping the release of acetylcholine, Botox treatments can help with:
- Strabismus, or crossed eye syndrome
- Blepharospasm, or eyelid spasms
- Neurological movement disorders such as Cervical Dystonia
- Hyperhidrosis
- Overactive bladder disorders
In addition to these, there are some conditions people use Botox to treat, but it has not been a proven treatment. These uses are called off-label treatments. Some examples include vulvodynia, psoriasis, alopecia, and a few others.

The procedures for Botox treatments are fairly simple and pain-free. A mixture of Botox and saline are injected directly into the affected area, and from there it can take 1 to 3 days for the treatment to take effect.
