Rhinoplasty and Facelift Plastic Surgery Procedures in Indianapolis, Indiana

Your face greets you in the mirror, is the first thing that people notice when they meet you, and is used to validate your identity. It appears on your driver's license, passport, and other forms of identification. If the aging process, weight loss, or other factors have caused your face to take on characteristics that you find unbecoming (including sagging skin, wrinkles, or a crooked nose), you can have them corrected with facial plastic surgery. A facelift, rhinoplasty, or other plastic surgery procedure by Indiana cosmetic surgeon Wally Zollman, M.D., can help.

Facial Plastic Surgery at Our Indianapolis, Indiana Practice

The facial plastic surgery procedures offered at our Indianapolis, Indiana plastic surgery practice can be performed alone or in various combinations to create optimal results. When many people hear the term "facial plastic surgery," they think of a facelift or a nose job ( rhinoplasty). In addition to having mastered the facelift and rhinoplasty, Dr. Wally Zollman is skilled in performing numerous other facial plastic surgery procedures at Zollman Plastic Surgery in Indianapolis, Indiana including:

Facelift Procedure

A facelift, technically referred to as a rhytidectomy, can be used to counteract the loss of elasticity in facial skin, which leads to the formation of deep wrinkles and folds around your mouth and jaw and the appearance of jowls or a double chin. A successful facelift performed by a skilled cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Zollman can take years off of your appearance.

If you are interested in a facelift, Indiana plastic surgeon Wally Zollman, M.D., will discuss the probable results of the plastic surgery with you. During your plastic surgery consultation, Dr. Zollman will highlight the problem areas that a facelift can improve (mostly the lower face and neck) and will have you consider a variety of options, including combining the procedure with a forehead lift or some other plastic surgery procedure offered through our Indiana practice. He may also suggest the possibility of achieving your desired results through a less invasive procedure such as a "mini-lift" (also known as a "weekend facelift") or facial liposuction.

Unlike facelift procedures of the past, the facelift technique used by Dr. Zollman does more than merely tighten the skin of the face. Facelift plastic surgery begins with an incision along the hairline, by the ear, on the chin, or along the earlobe. Next, Dr. Zollman removes the excess skin, muscle, and fat that is causing the facial folds and wrinkles. After smoothing and tightening the remaining skin, Dr. Zollman will secure it with sutures to complete the facelift. The outpatient plastic surgery may take up to three hours.

Rhinoplasty Procedure

You may be unhappy with the shape of your nose (whether you have heredity to thank for it, or a trauma that altered your natural facial features). Or, perhaps you have trouble breathing because of a deviated septum or other defect in the structure of your nose. In either case, rhinoplasty performed by Indiana cosmetic surgeon Wally Zollman, M.D., can give your nose a more aesthetically pleasing shape.

Rhinoplasty , commonly referred to as a "nose job," can reduce or enlarge your nose. Many patients undergo rhinoplasty to have a bump on the bridge of their nose reduced, or to alter the proportions of their nostrils (or nose as a whole) to better complement their other facial features. Since there is no universal standard for the "perfect nose," it is important to clearly express your desired results from a rhinoplasty with our leading Indiana cosmetic surgeon during your plastic surgery consultation. Dr. Zollman cannot create your ideal nose if he does not know what your idea of "ideal" is.

Some people seek rhinoplasty to correct medical conditions such as difficulty breathing due to a deviated septum or narrow nostrils. In these cases, some insurance companies may pay for all or a portion of the plastic surgery cost. (Insurance companies tend to not cover cosmetic surgery costs for elective procedures.) If you are seeking rhinoplasty for medical reasons, be sure to discuss this with Dr. Zollman and a staff member at Zollman Plastic Surgery to explore possible insurance coverage of the procedure.
