Non-surgical Options Can Help Your Nose

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

Is there something you don’t like about your nose? Would you like to have a nose that best matches the features of your face? LaFerriere and Kienstra Facial Plastic Surgery may have just the solution for you.

Not all nose improvements require surgery. Injectable treatments, including Botox and dermal fillers, can help reshape your nose to get just the right fit for your face. The benefits include a more balanced appearance, greater confidence, and minimal recovery time.

Drs. Kienstra or Laferriere will listen to any questions and concerns you may have and examine your nose for irregularities, skin thickness and color, and shape. This will help to determine what type of injection treatment is right for you and what part(s) of the nose should be modified to best meet your needs.

To schedule a consultation and discuss your options with Dr. Kienstra or Dr. Laferriere, call 417-887-FACE today.

Why do some people have facial skin that makes them look younger than their actual age?  What are they doing differently than everyone else?

Genetics could be a factor, but they most likely began following these sensible rules while they were still young:

  1. Minimize ultraviolet exposure by avoiding the sun and tanning salons.  When they do have to be in the sun, they protect their skin by applying a sunscreen with an appropriate level of UVA and UVB protection to the face, ears, neck, and the backs of the hands.
  2. Don’t smoke, because smoking encourages wrinkling by depriving the skin of oxygen and creating lines and (eventually) deep grooves around the mouth.
  3. Cleanse properly with warm (never hot) water and a gentle skin cleanser to remove makeup and excess oil.  Be gentle…use your fingertips, not a terry cloth or scrubber, and never pick at blemishes.
  4. Drink water, moisturize, eat well, and sleep well.  These habits are good for your general health, too…not just your skin.

    It’s never too late to start taking better care of your skin!

    Learn About Microdermabrasion

    BlogIntroNow you can have smoother, healthier, younger-looking skin without pain or surgery, and with no downtime for recovery. Microdermabrasion treatments do not interfere with those who enjoy outdoor activities. Microdermabrasion treatments are also beneficial for those who have acne due to oily skin. Microdermabrasion takes about 15-20 minutes and there is no discomfort or down time. The treatment leaves your skin a rosy-pink color for about 20-30 minutes and you can return to normal activities immediately.

    A New Type of BOTOX?

    Monday, October 12th, 2009

    SmoothSkinHave you heard about the new alternative to BOTOX®? Made from the same active ingredient as BOTOX, Dysport® is now available from LaFerriere and Kienstra Facial Plastic surgery. Like BOTOX, Dysport works by freezing the muscles used when you frown. This new wrinkle treatment is made from the same protein as BOTOX but results are reported to last longer. Because the Dysport treatment spreads further than BOTOX, it is useful for treating larger areas and requires fewer injections. For more information about Dysport or to schedule your consultation, call us at 417-887-FACE.
