Non Surgical Reshaping of Your Nose - Alternative Options

If anyone is looking to get a little "touch-up" on their nose but is not interested in going through a surgery, then rhinoplasty is the way to go. This common procedure is safe and can be done in less than three hours.

There are many different reasons why someone may be interested in getting a nose reshaping procedure. They may have a hump on their nose, whether a minor or a larger one, or perhaps their nose projects too much or too little. Maybe they feel like their nose is too short. Whether it is a minor irritation or a major insecurity, the first thing that should be figured out is what specifically they want done before getting it checked out with a specialist. It's important to not give vague criteria such as "Can you make my nose look better?" Professionals want to hear the specifics of what a client wants done. Then the specialist can provide the nose reshaping alternative options.

For non-surgical nose reshaping, there are two common fillers used: Radiesse and Artefill. Radiesse is an FDA-approved filler that lasts for one year to 18 months while Artefill can last anywhere from five to 10 years. Dr. Mona Rane, an expert in the field of non-surgical nose reshaping, provides both procedures and can investigate the specifics of each case to decide if the nose reshaping alternative is something that can be done. Dr. Rane has performed hundreds of procedures and has taken multiple courses to stay up on advances in rhinoplasty techniques.

Rhinoplasty procedures are set up by the client and the surgeon. Most of the time, these treatments will take place at an outpatient surgery center. The doctor starts off by injecting a small amount of local anesthesia and then injects the chosen filler into the nose. This treatment can be used to smooth out one's nose, treat a blemish or fix the problem of being too small. This two to three-hour treatment is simple and easy without having to go to a hospital or get knocked out. There is no bleeding, just minimal swelling, so clients will achieve a nose that will look like new in no time.

It's no longer necessary to go into surgery to touch up one's looks; there are plenty of nose reshaping alternative options. Anyone who is interested should get in contact with a professional to figure out the best way for them to get the treatment they desire. Give Dr. Mona Rane a call today!

Mommy Makeover

Having a baby is one of the most joyful and rewarding experiences a woman will ever encounter, but unfortunately, the process can take an enormous toll on her body. Her breasts may collapse after years of breastfeeding or remain so large post-childbirth that they are uncomfortable. She may have hanging tummy skin and fat deposits that no amount of diet and exercise can eradicate. Mona Rane M.D. FRCS offers a full range of "Mommy Makeover" procedures designed to help women restore their youthful figures after childbirth, so they can focus on raising their children without experiencing a loss of their own vitality and self-worth.

The following plastic surgery for moms is available:


A makeover for moms can be offered as a combination of services, as a single procedure or in stages. For instance, a woman who has given birth a few months prior may want liposuction to restore the firm appearance of her thighs and abdomen. A couple of years later, once she is done with breastfeeding, she may return for a breast lift and augmentation to help her breasts return to their original perky, full appearance.

A buttock lift or "tummy tuck" may be desired in cases where a woman gained significant weight during a pregnancy and has hanging skin that does not shrink back. In the abdomen in particular, this loose skin can persist no matter how faithfully a woman exercises because the underlying collagen has been destroyed. An abdominoplasty procedure, in which the extra skin is excised, may be the only solution. A further advantage of this procedure is any stretch marks that existed on the removed skin will be gone forever.

Plastic surgery for moms doesn't just restore a woman's figure after childbirth: A "Mommy Makeover" restores her sense of pride in her appearance. Being a mom is hard work that requires sleepless nights, mental energy and a lot of physical stamina. When a woman feels bad about her body image, it is that much easier for her to sink into depression, affecting her ability to parent and have fulfilling adult relationships. A makeover for moms performed by expert and caring surgeon Dr. Mona Rane M.D. gives a woman back her sexuality and her confidence, which is good medicine for the whole family.
