Your nose is one of the most commonly injured areas of your face, often caused by sports or a fall. This can be an alarming feature to break due to its effect on breathing and the prominent role it plays in one’s facial appearance. If you experience trauma to the face and notice your nose looks crooked or bruising develops underneath your eyes, you may have suffered from a nasal fracture. Depending on the location and extent of the damage, you may need surgery to repair the fracture and restore the natural shape of your nose.

If you sustain a sudden blow or injury to your nose and notice you have severe bleeding, bones forced to one side, or trouble breathing, it is vital that you seek prompt medical attention. In cases where the bones or cartilage have been moved out of place, your doctor may be able to manually realign your nose using a splint and surgical tools. If your septum has been damaged or your break is too advanced for a manual realignment, or you have an old fracture which has healed crooked, a board-certified plastic surgeon may need to evaluate your nose to determine the best treatment.

At Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, Dr. Dimitri Koumanis has helped many patients improve cosmetic and functional concerns with their nasal shape through rhinoplasty. He can help you determine if a deviated septum or other nasal injury may be affecting your ability to breathe normally. In addition, a crooked or misshapen nose can be addressed during a custom rhinoplasty, helping you achieve a more symmetrical and proportionate nasal appearance.

Whether you recently broke your nose or have been living with damage caused several years ago, Dr. Yarinsky can evaluate your nose and tailor surgery to correct your unique concerns. If you would like to learn more about how rhinoplasty can address nasal damage, please contact our office today to schedule a consultation.

Many men and women struggle with stubborn pockets of fat around their body. Even with a healthy diet and strict exercise regimen, excess fat can often remain in trouble areas like your neckline, abdomen, flanks, and thighs. At Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, PC, Dr. Dimitri Koumanis offers a variety of fat reduction treatments that can help patients contour these areas for a slimmer, more toned-looking physique. You can achieve a more balanced figure with use of some or all of these options:

• Liposuction is the “gold standard” for removing fat cells that all other fat removal devices are compared with. Dr. Koumanis is an expert in a technique called “LipoPerfection” that uses a combination of external ultrasound energy application and fat suctioning that is ideal for patients with small fat pockets and also for treating those who have more substantial amounts of excess fat. This surgical procedure provides the most consistent results for patients wanting to contour trouble areas and is done right at our accredited office operating facility.
• truSculpt^® iD is a non-invasive solution that can provide a slimming effect in areas with stubborn fat. Through the use of radiofrequency technology, truSculpt^® iD breaks down excess fat by gently heating the targeted fat cells.

Dr. Koumanis emphasizes that fat reduction techniques like truSculpt^® iD and liposuction are not intended for significant weight loss, and therefore are not a treatment for obesity. Rather, they are designed to target and reduce specific areas of excess fat for a smoother, more lean body shape.

To determine if you are a good candidate for one or more of these fat-busting solutions, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Koumanis, and he will help you find the most appropriate treatment for your physical needs and aesthetic concerns.

To help prolong the rejuvenating effects of BOTOX^® Cosmetic, many people schedule follow-up appointments for retreatment before the BOTOX^® has completely worn off. A major benefit of getting regular BOTOX^® injections is that in addition to smoothing dynamic facial wrinkles—such as crow’s feet and frown lines—the treatment actually helps to prevent creases from forming and getting deeper. In this fashion, BOTOX^® Cosmetic truly prevents the signs of aging. Resting frown lines don’t worsen, and patients age more gracefully as their skin maintains a smooth and youthful appearance. Striving for this long-term rejuvenation, many patients choose to come into our med spa for repeat BOTOX^® Cosmetic treatments every three months.

Scheduling BOTOX^® treatments every three months is often ideal for helping a patient maintain the anti-aging results. If they cannot attend an appointment, however, they may be concerned about how this will affect their facial appearance. Patients who miss their BOTOX^® Cosmetic follow-up appointment can expect their results to gradually wear off over the course of three to six months. Once BOTOX^® injections have been metabolized and processed out of the body, they will start to see their facial lines and creases becoming more prominent again. If a patient has been receiving BOTOX^® Cosmetic for years, however, these lines and wrinkles will still be less noticeable compared to if they had never undergone treatment in the first place.

During this COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic, Dr. Koumanis and our team at Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, PC understand that many patients have had to postpone their appointments for treatments like cosmetic injectables. To help care for skin until injectable treatments can be performed again, Dr. Koumanis recommends patients be diligent with their skin care routine. Our team offers professional-grade skin care products to help patients achieve and maintain healthy, beautiful skin. These product lines are available to order through our office.
