What are the goals of a good Facelift?

While it is a relatively well known fact that stem cells can be derived from human embryos, what plastic surgeons are discovering now is that we don’t lose all of them during development. In fact, we still have them in our own fat tissue.

What to ask your plastic surgeon about Rhinoplasty
If you are considering Rhinoplasty to change the shape of your nose, communication is key. I find that sometimes the surgeon and the patient are really not talking the same language when it comes to talking about noses in particular. Explaining what you want from your nose job in ways that are more meaningful to your surgeon can help you get the final results you’re after.
