RHINOPLASTY
Dr Zuccardi performs the RIM technique (Rinoplastia con Injerto Móvil) in English (Mobile Graft Rhinoplasty) learned from the beginning from Dr Teoman Dõgan and modified in some points to ensure a good preservation of respiratory function. It is very important to clarify that we do not use any type of cast or splints in the post-operative period.
Rhinoplasty is known to be one of the most difficult procedures in facial plastic surgery. For instance, when the dorsal hump is reduced, we avoid over reducing it so as to strike a balance between dorsum and nose tip. When dealing with bulbous nose tips we avoid excessive removal of supporting structures which result in “surgical look”.
These surgical procedures are approximately performed in two hours average. Only a few minutes are needed to reshape or modify the nose; however, so as to make the nose look as natural as possible, we need more time to preserve the nasal structure and prevent the surgical stigmas.
OTOPLASTY
Otoplasty , also known as cosmetic ear surgery , is a procedure to change the shape, position or size of the ears.
You might choose to have otoplasty if you’re bothered by how far your ears stick out from your head. You might also consider otoplasty if your ear or ears are misshapen due to an injury or birth defect.
Otoplasty can be done at any age after the ears have reached their full size , usually after age 5, through adulthood.
DEEP PLANE FACELIFT
Decades ago, facelift surgery involved simply pulling the skin tight, removing the excess, and suturing the incisions. This “skin only” technique often led to results that looked unnatural. Facial plastic surgeons realized that facial aging occurred primarily below the skin, where sagging tissue and muscle and volume loss led to jowls, nasolabial folds, and the loss of definition between the chin and neck.
A deep plane facelift involves repositioning and vertically lifting the tissues and muscles to achieve a more elevated and youthful appearance. This technique also addresses lost volume, removes excess skin, and enhances the lower face and neck contours. Dr. Zuccardi artistically reconstructs the contours of the lower face and neck using this meticulous technique to create a natural and youthful rejuvenation.
Additionally, this treatment lasts longer than common procedures.
BLEPHAROPLASTY
Blepharoplasty is a type of surgery that removes excess skin from the eyelids. With age, eyelids stretch, and the muscles supporting them weaken. As a result, excess skin and fat can gather above and below your 9. This can cause sagging eyebrows, droopy upper lids and bags under the eyes.
Besides aging, severely sagging skin around the eyes can reduce side vision (peripheral vision), especially the upper and outer parts of the visual field. Blepharoplasty can reduce or get rid of these vision problems. The surgery can also make eyes look younger and more alert.
The evaluation of the patient is very important, Dr Zuccardi evaluates the entire upper third of the patient, since many times the correct thing is to treat the loss of the eyebrows and not the eyelids.
