Nasal surgery (rhinoplasty) is designed to improve the appearance of the nose and/or the internal structure. Based on the patient’s needs, Dr. Daniel E. Rousso can modify the nasal cartilage and/or bone in order to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing and better functioning nose. During a consultation, a computer imaging system can help patients view their potential results. Septoplasty can help improve breathing by repairing the septum. It is important for patients to understand rhinoplasty risks, even when they are small and uncommon, such as a nosebleed. It is recommended that patients take it easy for approximately two weeks after their procedure. They will also wear a splint on the nose for about a week after surgery.

There are many individuals who are interested in quick and relatively pain-free rejuvenating treatments. Dr. Daniel E. Rousso performs facial injectables and fillers to help achieve a more youthful appearance. These can be performed in only a matter of minutes and require minimal downtime. Botox is a popular injectable to treat wrinkles and lines in the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes (“crow’s feet”). It has been used for over 10 years as a cosmetic treatment and can provide excellent results when performed correctly. Dr. Rousso also offers other injectables, such as Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, and Sculptra. These may last from six months to two years based on the injectable used. The most commonly treated areas include the nasolabial folds and lips. An injectable filler can help plump wrinkles and areas that have lost volume, such as the cheeks.

One of the most popular procedures performed at the practice of Dr. Daniel E. Rousso is rhinoplasty. It is said that about 80 percent of people find something wrong with their nose and want to fix it. As it is a very prominent feature of the face, individuals notice when it is not in proportion with the rest of the facial features and look for ways to improve it. Additionally, Dr. Rousso performs functional nasal surgery, which is designed to help those with a deviated septum. Both cosmetic and structural enhancements can be made to the nose during cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery. Those who are interested in nose surgery should be in good health and have realistic expectations of there outcome. Dr. Rousso can provide further information during an initial consultation at his practice.

Dr. Daniel E. Rousso, a top facial plastic surgeon, has been in private practice in Birmingham, AL since 2000 at Rousso Facial Plastic Surgery Clinic. Prior to this, he was in a group practice for about 23 years. Dr. Rousso is dedicated to patient safety and comfort throughout their entire surgery experience. During the first visit, patients meet with him in the consultation room to discuss their needs, desired outcome, and most beneficial procedure. Patients then go into the photo imaging room in order to get a better idea of potential results. After their procedure, recovery is made comfortable with the help of the Aesthetic Medical Spa in the facility. There’s a facial room, hair replacement room, and hair removal room, which offer patients a variety of treatments. In addition, the facility is certified by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), which ensures patient safety.

Dr. Daniel E. Rousso’s patient underwent a face lift and neck lift in order to help correct sagging in the neck area – she didn’t like what she saw in the mirror and decided that she was going to do something about it. The patient decided to have Dr. Rousso perform the procedures after asking for recommendations. She and her sister underwent plastic surgery with Dr. Rousso and were very pleased with their outcome. After the facelift procedure, the patient felt like it changed her life in a lot of ways – her self-esteem increased and she now feels better about herself. Dr. Rousso states that most patients find that facelift surgery provides them with a positive change in their lives; they are happier with their appearance and are motivated to maintain a healthy lifestyle. He advises that individuals should not be motivated to undergo this procedure for an “event” such as wanting to get married or trying to find a new job, but rather to feel better about themselves.

Due to the many hair transplant advancements over the years, patients can now achieve a more natural-looking appearance. No longer do patients have to experience the “doll hair” look of years past. Dr. Daniel E. Rousso performs a less noticeable technique that takes a strip of hair from the back of the head and then places it in the thinning area. Using a microscope, the strip is made into tiny hair grafts that hold only one or two strands of hair. These are then placed in the area where the hair is thinning in order to achieve a fuller head of hair. Patients are no longer embarrassed of their hair restoration because the new technique is not noticeable. Furthermore, women are becoming increasingly interested in hair transplant surgery, as men continue to seek this form of hair loss treatment. Further hair transplant information is available on Dr. Rousso’s website.

As time passes, one of the first signs of aging is sagging in the eyes. Dr. Daniel E. Rousso explains that hereditary plays a big roll in how the eyes change as people age. Many individuals find that they have bulging in the upper eyelid, which can cause hooding and possible obstructed vision. The most common complaint from individuals with this problem is feeling that they look tired when they are not. Now, men are becoming more interested in eyelid surgery than years before, during which it was considered a female procedure. Birmingham’s Dr. Rousso makes incisions in the natural creases of the eye in order to hide scarring post-surgery. In addition, many patients often combine brow lift surgery to achieve a more refreshed appearance. Recovery for blepharoplasty typically takes seven to eights days, at which point the stitches are removed and patients may wear makeup again.

There are many individuals who may feel that they lack volume in the cheek area or have a weak chin. In these situations, facial implant surgery can be of great benefit in achieving a more balanced appearance or to correct a congenital deformity. Dr. Daniel E. Rousso performs this procedure safely through small incisions. Most patients tend to have a short recovery and are quite satisfied with their results. It is a very common procedure that can improve the patient’s facial contouring and even help those who have experienced a significant trauma, loss of bone structure, and fractures of the face. In addition, a new technique using computer-generated implants, using a CAT scan, can create an exact duplicate of a missing bone. Further information regarding cheek implants and/or chin implants is provided on Dr. Rousso’s website.

Over time, the skin loses its quality as the sun and wind gradually damage the top layer; fine lines, spots, and uneven pigmentation can develop and cause individuals to appear older than they are. Dr. Daniel E. Rousso offers skin resurfacing techniques at his Birmingham office, including dermabrasion, chemical peels, and laser skin resurfacing. Based on the treatment used and degree of resurfacing necessary, patients may experience slight peeling of the skin or more dramatic peeling after their treatment. Patients may anticipate healthier skin that looks and feels smoother; a change for the better is the ultimate goal with skin resurfacing at Dr. Rousso’s office. In addition, skin resurfacing treatments may help remove pre-cancerous skin and allow the skin to heal.

Dr. Daniel E. Rousso performs lip augmentation at his Birmingham practice in order to help patients achieve a fuller, more youthful appearance. Those who have lost volume in their lips due to aging may also experience fine lines that are unpleasant. Using injectable fillers, Dr. Rousso can plump the lips to a more desirable contour. In addition, patients who have narrow lips may undergo a minimally invasive procedure that entails an incision in the upper lip to elevate it to a fuller position. In addition, there are now saline-filled lip implants to provide a more permanent solution. In contrast, Dr. Rousso also treats patients who have large lips and wish to reduce their size. Lip reduction can be done by removing a strip of skin from the inside of the lip.

At the practice of Dr. Daniel E. Rousso, patients may also wish to undergo a minimally invasive treatment along with their cosmetic enhancement. Starting patients off with camouflage makeup to help patients cover any redness or bruising after surgery, the Aesthetic Medical Spa has developed into a “one-stop shop” for patients. Some of the treatments offered include: Botox, fillers, laser treatments, intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments, chemical peels, and facials. Patients who have broken capillaries, facial veins, and/or brown spots may find a visit to the spa to be quite beneficial. Dr. Rousso’s website can provide further information regarding the various services offered for those who are interested in non-surgical skin treatments.
