Lisa’s Blog: Intro
February 25th, 2010
Hi, I’m Lisa and I have been considering Rhinoplasty (nose job) for the past 10 years and have finally decided – it’s time to do it!
It was an easy decision to choose Dr. Bashioum as my plastic surgeon because I am a previous patient. I had breast augmentation 14 years ago and have been extremely pleased with those results.
My experience with both his medical and office staff were all very positive. During that time, I always felt that I was taken care of through each stage of the surgical process. I have no doubt that this particular surgery will be any different.

The Four Basic Steps in Plastic Surgery- #4

Step 4: Wound Closure.
The final step is suturing (sewing) the skin and deeper tissues back together, also known as wound closure or tissue approximation. How well this is done will determine the physical appearance of the scar. Underlying tissues (muscle, fat, breast tissue) must be brought back together beneath the skin. If not, the scar will look depressed or puckered when compared to the surrounding skin. The underlying fat, muscle, and/or breast tissue must support the skin at the proper level. In the most extreme instances, the skin can actually heal to the underlying muscle resulting in a severely depressed scar that moves unnaturally with muscle contraction.
