Palm Beach Gardens Ear Surgery – Otoplasty
For kids, anything that’s different is likely to be called out and teased. Kids with prominent large ears or ears which stick out far from the side of the head can suffer endless taunting and name-calling from their peers which can results in poor self-esteem and low self-confidence. This self-confidence can even carry on into adulthood if the issue is not resolved. Many men and women of varying ages opt for Palm Beach Gardens Otoplasty to create a more normal appearance for their ears.
Otoplasty, or ear surgery, is a procedure in which the cartilage is altered and/or the ears are pinned back closer to the side of the head. All incisions are carefully placed in hidden areas, usually behind the ear. Click here to view a Before and After Otoplasty photo gallery to see the kind of results Otoplasty is capable of achieving.

Dermal fillers used in conjunction with face lift for best results
Published on February 15, 2012 by Peter Ramsay on The Harvey Medical Group UK News & Blog (www.harleymedical.co.uk)
People looking to get the most out of a face lift may want to consider having dermal fillers as part of their treatment.
That’s according to Dr Anita Mandal, a board-certified Facial Plastic Surgeon based in Florida, who says it is very common for people to combine facial surgery with injectable treatments such as Botox.
But while combining procedures can help patients to achieve a better end result, Dr Mandal does not advise having both the surgical and non-surgical treatments carried out on the same day.
Writing in the health section of The Palm Beach Post newspaper, she said she often injects patients with fillers between three and seven days before the operation is due take place. If this isn’t possible then she recommends three to four weeks after the facelift surgery, to ensure all the associated swelling has gone down.
The increasing popularity of injectables was highlighted last week following the release of global sales figures by Allergan Pharmaceuticals, which said its global sales of Botox had increased 8 per cent year-on-year during the fourth quarter of 2011.

Palm Beach Gardens BOTOX
I’m sure everyone’s seen the story on the 8 year old pageant girl that was given Botox injections by her Mother. It’s devastating to see something that, when used appropriately can be such a positive experience, be used on a child who not only does not need it but clearly isn’t able to consent or contest it. Botox is an injectable used to address common signs of aging in adults, generally between the ages of 20 and 70. It can improve:
- Crow’s feet or laugh lines around the eyes
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Horizontal forehead creases
- Wrinkles around the upper and lower lips, also known as “smoker’s lines”
- Vertical bands in the neck
- Fine lines under the eyes
Results can last up to 4 months and the procedure itself takes only a few minutes with minimal discomfort. To learn more about Botox, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Mandal and remind you of the importance of being treated by a board-certified professional.
Eyelid Lift Surgery
One of the first areas we show signs of aging is in the face, specifically around the eyes. The upper eyelid can become heavy and droop, even hanging over the eye which can obstruct your sight and make you look sleep and worn out. Under the eyes dark, puffy bags can form and along the outer sides of the eyes, wrinkles and crows feet are very commonly formed. If you are unhappy with skin around your eyes, you may be a good candidate for Blepharoplasty.
Palm Beach Gardens Blepharoplasty, known more commonly as Eyelid Surgery or an Eyelid lift, is a procedure in which excess skin is removed from around the eye to create a smoother, wider, more alert and youthful appearance. Often time eyelid surgery is performed in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures like face lifts, forehead lifts or dermal fillers to create a more youthful appearance overall.
