The DeRosa Clinic team can also use Botox® to help slim your jaw. For people who want a slimmer jaw, Botox® can be injected into the masseter muscle. The masseter is the muscle on the side of your face that you feel when you clench your teeth. Often, in an effort to reduce fullness in the face, you can weaken this muscle to make it smaller, which also helps to slim out the side of your facer over time. This procedure use of Botox® is increasingly popular.

Do you have earring holes that have stretched or have torn? Did you wear gauges and now want to close the holes? Earlobe repair could be for you. This procedure can be done in-office, and you can typically go back to work the same day. Earlobe(s) that have stretched or torn piercings can be fixed, allowing you to wear pierced earrings at a later date. Earring holes can stretch for many reasons such as damage by children pulling on your earrings, sports, from wearing too heavy of an earring or wearing gauges which stretch the earlobes. With the increase in popularity of gauge earrings, earlobe repair is also becoming more popular and more frequently requested. We have seen great results fixing over-stretched earlobes after wearing gauges. Earlobe repair can also be used to remove any ear piercing that is no longer desired.

Lymphatic Drainage can be used as a standalone treatment but is also included in many of the facials that we offer at the DeRosa Clinic. Lymphatic pathways along the face and neck don’t drain very well. They often make your face look puffy and irritated after eating too much salt, consuming one drink too many the night before, or even during allergy season or post-surgery, when drainage pathways are blocked and swollen. This procedure uses gentle suction to help move excess fluid and inflammation. Small glass cups are attached to the Lymphatic Drainage machine and then placed on the skin to gently lift the facial tissue for a massage-like effect.

Revision Rhinoplasty addresses both the aesthetic and functional (breathing) problems that you might be struggling with after prior rhinoplasty. It is critical when selecting a surgeon to perform a Revision surgery to find a specialist who understands the complexity of the underlying architecture of the nose to repair its appearance and function. We see many people who have had previous nose jobs and are unhappy with either the aesthetic look of their nose and/or have breathing problems that were not addressed during their prior surgery or are as a result of their prior surgery.

Facial scars can be very bothersome to many people, but the good news is that there are several ways to help reduce their appearance. Facial scarring is very common. They can be a result of previous surgeries or dramatic injuries such as dog bites or sports related injuries. There are various methods that can be used to help camouflage scars on the face or neck.

There are a few stages to the healing process for rhinoplasty. The first stage to be completed is the nasal cast and stitches. When you have a nose job, a protective cast is put on your nose. This is typically ready to come off about a week after surgery, as described above. The next stage to complete is the swelling, and when you have rhinoplasty surgery the nose typically swells a lot. This should resolve itself in about four to six weeks after surgery for most patients, however people who have complicated revision rhinoplasty and/or who have very thick skin should expect the swelling to go down more slowly. After about 3 months, the initial swelling has resolved, and we often take photos to see the changes that have occurred from surgery. And the final stage, the stage in which we have a sense of the final outcome, is usual about one year after surgery. And, at that time we can take the “post-operative” photos. While 12 months can be considered a long time, it is important to note that the changes you are making in your nose are a life-long solution to what has usually been a life-long problem for you. The proper investment in healing time is worth the wait.

Dermaplaning is a method of exfoliation that gives the skin a smoother appearance, removing the skin’s top layers through a method of pleasant sloughing. Dermaplaning is used to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of small facial wrinkles. It can also remove “peach fuzz,” which can trap excess dirt and oil.
