Most people assume that the only way to improve the appearance of their nose is to get a surgery done. Correlating with this, liquid rhinoplasty or non-surgical rhinoplasty is attaining popularity in the US and around the world as an alternative to surgical rhinoplasty. There are several benefits to a non-surgical nose job. For instance, there is almost no downtime and the results become visible immediately.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides non-surgical rhinoplasty or filler rhinoplasty to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding locations.

What is Non-surgical Rhinoplasty?

Nonsurgical nose job involves dermal fillers for enhancing the shape of the nose and taking care of other concerns. The procedure is virtually pain free, effective, and quick. Filler injectables containing hyaluronic acid is generally inserted in the nose for achieving desired results. 

Restylane is a recommended option for nose jobs because it has a thin consistency. Moreover, other fillers may be used depending on your unique nasal anatomy and desired aesthetic goals. The best part about nonsurgical rhinoplasty is that it offers temporary results that don’t last for more than a year. 

Candidates for Filler Rhinoplasty

It is important to understand that nonsurgical nose job is not a true alternative to surgery. There are several things that can be achieved with dermal fillers. However, the results may not nearly be as dramatic as getting a surgical rhinoplasty. The ideal candidate will have a fair understanding of what the procedure can and cannot do for them. You should also be in good general health. 

Dermal fillers can be used for adding to the nose and removing bumps or other blemishes. It is best to consult with a capable cosmetic surgeon if you want to know whether liquid rhinoplasty is a suitable procedure for you or not. 

Possible Improvements through Non-surgical Rhinoplasty

There are specific improvements that can be achieved through a nonsurgical rhinoplasty. These are:

• Correction of low bridge by adding filler to build it up. This is generally useful in people of an African or Asian descent
• Dermal fillers can be used for filling around a nose bump to create a straight and smooth nose while improving the contour and profile of the nose
• Non-surgical nose job can correct a divot or dip in the nose bridge
• Liquid rhinoplasty can be used for correcting irregularities and improving symmetry of the nose to create an illusion of a regular and symmetric nasal structure

Issues that Cannot be Addressed with a Liquid Rhinoplasty

Non-surgical rhinoplasty may not be recommended in the following concerns:

• It cannot be used for removing a large hump or bump
• Liquid rhinoplasty cannot be used for reducing the size of the nose
• You cannot reduce the size of a bulbous tip with nonsurgical rhinoplasty
• Wide nostrils cannot be corrected using dermal fillers
• Your surgeon will not be able to correct a drooping nose tip with nonsurgical rhinoplasty

It’s critical to have realistic expectations if you want satisfactory results. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV, and nearby areas for non-surgical or liquid rhinoplasty.

IV Therapy

An increasing number of health-conscious people are considering Wellness IV therapy for acquiring the required amount of minerals, antioxidants, and vitamins along with medications. IV therapy can help your body function properly and make you feel better.

Your body receives nutrients directly in the blood with vitamin infusion. The digestive system is bypassed entirely that leads to higher absorption of vitamins and minerals. Nutrients become instantly available with wellness IV therapy.

Your body absorbs 100% of whatever is required before passing the rest through the kidneys to be flushed by the body. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides Wellness IV therapy to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding communities.

Treating Nutrient Deficiencies with IV Therapy

IV therapy helps people get the nutrients they require when they are too sick to ear or are unable to eat. It is an effective treatment in the following health conditions:

• Crohn’s disease
• Celiac disease
• Colon cancer
• Short bowel syndrome
• Cystic fibrosis

Often, people suffering from these conditions are unable to get the nutrients they require from their diet and oral supplements alone. Hence, IV therapy is beneficial in providing the required nutrients to relevant cells immediately.

Cleanse Free Radicals and Toxins

You can use IV therapy to cleanse your body of free radicals and toxins that may otherwise promote aging by damaging DNA and cells. These are some of the more popular ingredients in IV therapy:

Vitamin C

This nutrient doesn’t need an introduction. It is an essential antioxidant that protects the body from free radicals and adds to your overall wellbeing. It improves the immune system and neutralizes oxidants before they can damage cells.

Glutathione

Glutathione is another important antioxidant that helps in lowering oxidative stress. It offers a wide range of health benefits. Glutathione has shown promising results in improving symptoms caused by fatty liver disease and Parkinson’s disease.

Alpha-lipoic acid

This nutrient is more than a weight loss aid. It helps in protecting the cells from free radicals.

Increase Energy Levels

Wellness IV therapy plays an important role in maintaining body functioning and overall health. It can provide you with a natural boost of nutrition and energy. Amino acids and other nutrients can reduce the constant need and dependency on soda, coffee, and other caffeinated drinks. These drinks flood the body with unnecessary sugar for short-term energy boosts.

Amino acids work together with mitochondria for converting stored fatty acids into energy. Amino acids within IV infusions work on a cellular level. You can power through an intense workout or get through a productive day with this energy. Arginine and tri-amino acid among others helps in building muscle protein as well.

Promote Heart Health

IV Wellness therapy aids in cardiovascular health as well. You can improve the functioning of your cardiovascular system with these four vital nutrients:

IV Therapy Wellness

You need to maintain adequate nutritional levels in the body for improving your health. A well-balanced diet, healthy lifestyle, and oral supplements play an important role in ensuring that your body performs optimally.

IV Therapy Health Benefits

Intravenous (IV) vitamin treatments are effective in fighting against flu and cold symptoms. They are an important defense against viruses and infections. The treatments can boost your immune system by delivering the required antioxidants and vitamins to the cells directly.

IV therapy can deliver minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants into the bloodstream directly. Intravenous treatments effectively bypass the digestive system to allow your body to fully absorb the nutrients. The therapy, at the same time, detoxifies the body naturally. It removes harmful free radicals that may contribute to impaired immune function and toxin build-up.

Immune-supporting IV therapy is particularly effective when administered every 3 – 4 months on a regular basis. The body is damaged by free radicals at a cellular level. IV therapy for the immune system protects you from getting sick. It flushes out free radicals from the system and prevents any long-term damage from occurring.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides safe and proven IV therapy to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding locations.

IV Therapy Immunity Benefits

The immune system is responsible for protecting you from illness. However, stress, lack of sleep, poor diet, and other environmental factors can cause the immune system to become weak. IV therapy can play a major role in supporting and strengthening your immunity.

Your treatment provider will carefully select ingredients required by your body to maintain a healthy gut, provide nutritional bioavailability to cells, and process toxins quicker. It’s critical to understand that IV therapy alone will not prevent you from falling sick or getting a cold. However, it will minimize the likelihood of you falling prey to pathogens.

Vitamins Supporting Immune Functioning

Vitamin C

This antioxidant works in removing free radicals that may cause damage at a cellular level. It helps in maintaining the circulatory system, boosting immune system, and strengthening bones and muscles. It encourages production of lymphocytes and phagocytes (white blood cells) that help in protecting the body against infection.

Vitamin D

It has both immune-regulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. It is vital for the activation of immune system defenses. You can improve the functioning of your immune cells and protect the body against pathogens with this vitamin.

IV Therapy

IV therapy or intravenous vitamin B complex helps in boosting body’s energy levels and maintaining healthy functioning of the various organs. You may want to consider taking vitamin B supplements if you catch yourself getting irritable or moody. The same holds true if you have lost your motivation or drive and don’t feel like yourself anymore.

Vitamin B complex refers to a range of vitamins that perform different functions in the body. Many of them are antioxidants that work towards blunting free radicals that may otherwise cause damage and diseases. Other vitamins create blood cells or boost the immune system function.

You can go strong the entire day by taking a combination of vitamin B supplements. You ensure maximum health by supplementing vitamin B through an IV drip. This is because the body finds it easier to absorb vitamin B through an IV drip. Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, and other autoimmune disorders may make it hard for the body to absorb vitamin B efficiently.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides Vitamin B IV therapy to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding communities.

IV Therapy

Vitamin C is found in dietary supplements and food. It’s a powerful antioxidant that plays an integral role in collagen formation. High-dose vitamin C can be provided orally (taken by mouth) or through intravenous infusion (IV infusion).

IV infusion involves injecting vitamin C through a vein directly into the bloodstream. It allows vitamin C levels in the bloodstream to reach higher levels as opposed to oral administration. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides Vitamin C IV therapy to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding locations.

Antioxidant Effects

Oxidation is one of the body’s many chemical processes. Disruptions because of alcohol consumption, stress, and smoking can result in the formation of damaging and unstable molecules called free radicals. These molecules can harm your DNA and lead to health concerns, such as cholesterol buildup and cancer.

Research has shown that vitamin C is an effective antioxidant. You can prevent the chemical process from occurring by taking high vitamin C doses. You can also stop the development of free radicals in the body that cause damage with this therapy.

Antihistamine Effects

Vitamin C deficiency can result in an increase in asthma attacks and seasonal allergies. Vitamin C has been shown to decrease bronchial responsiveness and have an overall antihistaminic effect. Free radicals can result in airway obstruction in patients with asthma. It is a radical scavenger that doesn’t harm the body. IV therapy can be beneficial for people battling frequent asthma and allergies.

Improved Immune Support

Everyone knows that vitamin C in the form of an immune support drink or a supplement is great for colds. It is one of the best antiviral agents. Vitamin C improves the neutralizing of viral, bacterial, and fungal infections by the immune system.

However, the body can only absorb a limited quantity of oral vitamin C. Higher doses may cause gastrointestinal troubles. Vitamin C intravenous (IV) therapy allows the body to absorb higher doses without any negative effects.

Production of Collagen

Vitamin C helps in maintaining adequate collagen levels in the body. Collagen is the main structural protein in the connective tissue. It is a third of the body’s protein. Collagen is present in teeth, bones, skin, blood vessels, tendons, cartilage, and heart valves among others. It is particularly useful in maintaining a healthy heart.

You can ensure that collagen in your body is present at healthy levels by taking intravenous vitamin C. It can also play a major role in preventing cardiovascular diseases.

Anti-Cancerous Properties

Vitamin C, as per studies, can assist in treating a wide variety of cancers. This is done by reducing the body’s toxicity levels. IV therapy involving vitamin C can help the body fight off cancer cells too. It doesn’t just protect your body from cancer, but also fights it.

Vitamin C when administered intravenously is exceptional for your immune system. High doses of the nutrient attacks cancer cells exclusively without harming healthy tissues. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV, and nearby areas for Vitamin C IV therapy.

Anti-aging IV therapy is a popular treatment for restoring youthful energy and appearance. This vitamin infusion includes a vitamin complex containing vitamin C and glutathione for hydrating the body and delivering the maximum number of antioxidants.

Glutathione has a major benefit of being the biggest detoxifier. You can use the anti-aging IV therapy for boosting the immune system. Age-related symptoms are managed through a better absorption of nutrients and hydration. This helps in illness prevention, muscle recovery, and healthier skin, nails, and hair.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides Anti-aging IV therapy to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding locations.

Basic Mechanism of Anti-Aging IV Therapy

Anti-aging intravenous therapy helps in repairing damaged cells. It prevents aging in an effective and safe manner. Vitamins and other nutrients are directly administered into the bloodstream with IV therapy. Oral supplements account for 20% nutrient absorption at a cellular level whereas IV therapy provides for 100% absorption. The procedure doesn’t take more than 45 – 60 minutes to complete.

IV Therapy for Boosting Longevity

Telomeres are the protective caps at DNA ends for preserving their stability. These caps shorten with age and make us more susceptible to the effects of aging. Anti-aging IV therapy lengthens the telomeres, which boosts longevity by fighting the effects of a shortened telomeres.

It is important to understand that there is no way of completely stopping the aging process. However, anti-aging treatment with glutathione can help you look younger and feel more energetic. It slows down the process of aging. IV therapy can make you feel as if you discovered the fountain of youth with good anti-aging habits and a healthy lifestyle.

Glutathione’s Role in Anti-aging IV Therapy

Glutathione is the body’s natural antioxidant. It is vital for optimal cellular health. Glutathione levels decrease with age. You can ensure healthy aging by supplementing glutathione. The nutrient plays an important role in brightening and lightening the skin.

It erases hyperpigmentation and inhibits the production of melanin in the cells. Glutathione contains strong antioxidant and anti-melanogenic properties. This makes it one of the more popular systemic skin lightening molecules.

Benefits of glutathione are:

• Works as an antioxidant and helps the body fight against free radicals
• Helps the body detoxify
• Makes the skin brighter and lighter
• Helps in reducing aging spots and dark spots
• Provides the skin with an even skin tone
• Possess anti-aging properties

Glutathione plays a major role in maintaining the defense system of the body. It helps in fighting drug and metal poisoning and is essential for detoxification and a healthy immune system. Intravenous glutathione is a popular administration method.

Facial Fat Grafting

Is age causing volume loss in your face and cheeks? Facial fat grafting is a poignant option for enhancing your mid-face contours and improving facial balance and proportion. Fat grafting provides long-lasting and natural results for people looking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and fixing lost volume in the mid-face region.

Your surgeon will inject donor fat in the sunken cheek area during fat transfer to cheek surgery. The fat will be injected at precise depths by the surgeon. Surplus fat will be removed from donor sites on the body. This will be used for resolving sunken cheeks and increasing face volume.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides facial fat grafting for cheek enhancement to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding communities.

Suitable Candidates

A suitable candidate for cheek augmentation using fat transfer will have sunken cheeks or poorly defined cheeks from any number of causes. This includes loss of tissue volume from trauma, aging, genetics, congenital deformity, and significant weight loss.

People with lipid metabolism disorders and coagulation are not ideal candidates for the procedure. The same holds true for people with low body weight, acute infection, and chronic medical conditions.

Details of the Procedure

Cheek augmentation can also be done through facial implants. Surgeons employ the fat transfer technique for patients looking to achieve natural looking, and subtle changes to the mid-face area. The surgeon will make use of a small and sterile cannula for harvesting fat from body areas with surplus fat, such as the thighs, abdomen, and buttocks.

The fat will be purified and sterilized in a centrifuge before being injected in tiny quantities in the cheeks. This will be done through a micro-syringe that allows them to work with accuracy and precision. The likelihood of the donor fat being rejected is reduced by transferring tiny quantities of fat at a time. You will be able to enjoy natural, beautiful, and smooth results.

This is a minimally invasive technique that makes use of local anesthesia. It is associated with minimal downtime and discomfort. It has been proven to be more effective and less invasive for both men and women. The procedure can be safely performed in combination with facial rejuvenation services and liposuction surgery.

Average Recovery in Cheek Augmentation Using Fat Transfer

There is swelling and bruising following cheek enhancement with fat transfer procedure. This usually resolves in 10 days. However, there may be some swelling that continues to 6 weeks. Swelling can be reduced using cool compresses. You should be able to resume all activities within 7 days. Many patients find it comfortable to resume work after 2 – 3 days.

Results in Cheek Enhancement Using Fat Transfer

Results of cheek augmentation using fat transfer are noticeable right after the procedure. However, you may require multiple treatments for achieving the desired results. Experienced cosmetic surgeons will somewhat overcompensate the injection amount to account for the natural reabsorption process.

Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV, and nearby areas for facial fat transfer to enhance the cheeks and mid-face contours.

Facial Fat Grafting

The area around your eyes is quite possibly one of the first places to reflect early signs of aging. Hollows, dark circles, and bags under the eyes can make you look haggard, unwell, and tired. There are several cosmetic treatments such as under eye fat grafting that can help you correct these issues for a younger and more rejuvenated looking appearance.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides facial fat grafting to improve sunken areas under the eyes and treat under eye bags to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding communities.

Dark Circles and Puffiness around the Eyes

Certain people are genetically predisposed to dark circles under the eyes because of excess skin. Drastic changes in weight and age can also stretch and weaken the muscles to create bags or hollows.

Under Eye Fat Grafting

Autologous fat transplantation, lipofilling, lipoinjection, or under-eye fat grafting involves using the patient’s fat cells for filling in the problem areas and hollows existing under the eyes. Fat cells are generally taken from the thighs, abdomen, and buttocks.

Fat grafting under the eyes feels and looks more natural since your own fat is being used. This is usually not possible with facial fillers. Fat transfer also reduces the chance of complications, rejection and allergic reactions since the body doesn’t consider the transplanted fat tissue as a foreign compound.

Suitable Candidates

• Depressions under the eyes
• Lack of volume
• Mentally and physically healthy
• Excess fat for harvesting
• Realistic expectations from the procedure

Under Eye Grafting Benefits

There are several benefits to under-eye grafting that may rejuvenate the area. Few of these benefits include:

• Getting rid of dark circles and eye bags
• Restoring volume to the under-eye hollow parts
• No risk of allergic reactions
• Minimal risk of rejection
• Long lasting results
• Gradual improvement in the skin concerns

Under Eye Grafting Procedure Details 

It takes 30 minutes to an hour for the under-eye grafting procedure to finish. You should ensure that the cosmetic surgeon you choose is board certified before getting the procedure done. The plastic surgeon should specialize or have significant experience in performing fat grafting. The first step will be to administer anesthesia. These are the next steps that will follow:

1. Extraction

Manual liposuction techniques will be used for the extraction process. This is because the purpose is to harvest the fat cells and not destroy them as with ultrasound and laser liposuction procedures. The surgeon will use a cannula for suctioning enough fat to treat the under-eye area.

2. Centrifugation

The surgeon will place the collected fat in a test tube and keep it inside a centrifuge. This is done to separate excess fluids, such as blood and oils from the harvested fat. The process will also remove dead fat cells and debris from viable fat cells.

3. Fat Injections

The surgeon will inject the purified fat at the graft location. They will inject just a tiny amount at a time and sculpt it for a natural and ideal look.

Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV, and nearby areas for facial fat grafting to improve sunken areas under the eyes and treat under eye bags.
