Some ears protrude out too much and require the ears to be set back closer to the head. Other ears are too long or some earlobes are overly redundant. Other people suffer from torn earlobes often because of wearing pierced earrings. Prominent, protruding or poorly shaped ears can be flattened, and contoured to a more elegant form with ear reshaping surgery. The cartilage in the ear is responsible for its shape. The cartilage is flexible and elastic so it can be bent but will return to its original shape. By altering the amount, thickness or shape of the cartilage, the contour of the ears can be permanently improved. Computer imaging is usually performed before ear reshaping so that you can see what changes are possible. This helps you see exactly how you want your ears to look, and it helps Dr. McBride determine the best technique to achieve your cosmetic goals.

Most people know that both are used to reduce wrinkles, but they are unsure which product is best for them.

Because lips are large muscles, they atrophy or shrink with age. Full, sharply defined lips are a sign of youth. There are several techniques available for lip enhancements. Some of these techniques simply involve filler material, such as Radiesse, Perlane, and Belotero. Although not permanent, these fillers provide an immediate, soft, natural lip enhancement. If one desires longer lasting lip fullness, the fat transfer procedure (fat grafting) can be performed. In this procedure, fat is harvested from the abdomen or thigh with a small needle. Only a few ounces of fat are needed. The fat is centrifuged to compact the cells for the most uniform augmentation, and injected into the face to fill grooves and lines, increase fullness, and restore youthful and attractive contours. Because the fat is injected in tiny parcels through a fine needle, the edges of the added fat can be feathered to blend beautifully into the surrounding tissue contour. The surrounding blood supply keeps the fat alive and it becomes a living part of the facial tissues. The augmented areas look and feel perfectly natural because it is your own living tissue. The majority of the fat injected is maintained permanently in most patients. For cosmetic options such as lip augmentation, facelifts, neck lifts, and rhinoplasty, visit Dr. Kevin McBride.

Many non-surgical choices exist to improve skin quality, decrease the signs of aging, and protect the skin from further damage. Initial treatment begins with basic skin care, which include hydration, sun protection, healthy diet, and avoiding smoking. Secondary options include facial injectable fillers (Radiesse, Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, or Belotero) or BOTOX Cosmetic. Topical dermatologic ointments such as Retin-A or hydroquinone may also be used to help reduce skin irregularity.

There are numerous procedures available to better camouflage an existing scar. Although a scar can never be removed in its entirety, it can often be camouflaged to a point where it is barely perceptible. The chosen procedure depends on the location and orientation of the scar. Scars which are wide, depressed, or running against what is referred to as the relaxed skin tension lines or laugh lines, often need surgical excision and re-closure in hopes of improving the scar into a fine line. In addition, the orientation of the scar, at times, is changed to fall within the relaxed skin tension lines for better camouflage. Another technique that may be used in conjunction with scar revision surgery is skin-resurfacing technique like laser skin resurfacing. These help to smooth and contract the scars for further camouflage. For cosmetic options such as scar revision or repairs, facelifts, neck lifts, and rhinoplasty, visit Dr. Kevin McBride.
