ADVANCED DERMABRASION HOUSTON, TX | DR. RAGHU ATHRE

UNDERSTANDING DERMABRASION: A PROFESSIONAL SKIN REJUVENATION TREATMENT

Athré Facial Plastics offers professional dermabrasion treatments in
Houston designed to reveal smoother, more vibrant skin. As a double
board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Raghu Athré provides
personalized skin resurfacing solutions tailored to each patient's
unique concerns.

WHAT IS DERMABRASION?

Dermabrasion is a precise mechanical skin resurfacing technique that
removes the dull outer layer of skin. By using a specialized device,
Dr. Athré carefully abrades the skin's surface, stimulating collagen
production and cellular turnover to reveal healthier, younger-looking
skin.

CONDITIONS ADDRESSED BY DERMABRASION

 	* Fine wrinkles and lines
	* Acne scars
	* Enlarged pores
	* Facial scars
	* Skin discoloration
	* Age spots
	* Uneven skin texture

TREATMENT AREAS

Dermabrasion is most effectively performed on the face, neck, and
chest. Dr. Athré will assess your specific needs during a
personalized consultation to determine the most appropriate treatment
approach.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

The dermabrasion procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes. Local
anesthesia or a numbing cream ensures patient comfort. Dr. Athré
carefully uses the dermabrasion device to remove the targeted skin
layer, promoting cellular regeneration and skin renewal.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect mild redness and swelling following the treatment,
which typically resolves within one to two weeks. Complete results
develop over three months as collagen production increases. Dr. Athré
provides comprehensive aftercare instructions to optimize healing and
results.

CANDIDATE CONSIDERATIONS

While dermabrasion is suitable for most healthy adults, certain
factors may impact candidacy. Individuals with active skin conditions,
recent facial surgery, or darker skin tones may require alternative
treatments. A thorough consultation with Dr. Athré will determine the
most appropriate approach.

UPPER EYELID LIFT SURGERY IN HOUSTON, TX | DR. RAGHU ATHRE

WHAT IS UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY?

Upper blepharoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to
rejuvenate the upper eyelid complex. As we age, skin loses structural
proteins, causing laxity, looseness, and thinning. The upper eyelids
often show these changes most prominently, resulting in droopy, heavy
eyelids that can make patients look perpetually tired or angry.

UNDERSTANDING THE PROCEDURE

During upper blepharoplasty, Dr. Athré carefully removes excess skin
and herniated fat, creating a softer, more open eyelid appearance. The
natural crease is precisely marked to ensure minimal scarring and
optimal aesthetic results.

BENEFITS OF UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY IN HOUSTON

 	* Restore a refreshed, youthful look
	* Potentially improve peripheral vision
	* Boost self-confidence
	* Minimally invasive technique

Candidates typically include individuals with:

 	* Drooping or hooded upper eyelids
	* Vision obstruction due to excess skin
	* Desire for a more alert, youthful appearance
	* Good overall health
	* Realistic aesthetic expectations

PROCEDURE AND RECOVERY IN HOUSTON

Most upper blepharoplasty procedures are performed under local
anesthesia. The surgery involves precise skin and tissue removal, with
careful suturing to minimize scarring. Patients can typically return
to light activities within days, with full results visible in 3-4
months.

POTENTIAL CONDITIONS ADDRESSED

 	* Ptosis (drooping eyelids)
	* Hooded eyelid appearance
	* Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
	* Age-related skin laxity

COMPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES

Upper blepharoplasty can be effectively combined with other facial

LOWER EYELID REJUVENATION SURGERY IN HOUSTON, TX | DR. RAGHU ATHRE

WHAT IS LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY?

Lower blepharoplasty is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to
rejuvenate the under-eye area. As aging occurs, structural proteins
break down, causing the lower eyelid to lose its supportive structure.

appearance.

patient's unique facial anatomy to recommend the most appropriate
treatment approach.

CANDIDACY FACTORS

 	* Visible under-eye bags
	* Loose or wrinkled lower eyelid skin

days. Full results become visible within 4-6 months, with potential
improvements lasting 10-15 years.

Dr. Athré often recommends complementary treatments to enhance lower
blepharoplasty results, such as laser resurfacing, chemical peels, or
volume restoration techniques.

ULTRASONIC RHINOPLASTY IN HOUSTON, TX

UNDERSTANDING ULTRASONIC RHINOPLASTY

Ultrasonic rhinoplasty, also known as piezorhinoplasty or
rhinosculpture, represents the next evolution in nose surgery
techniques. This advanced procedure utilizes a specialized powered
handpiece called a piezotome, which enables precise bone and cartilage
modification with minimal surrounding tissue trauma.

THE PIEZOTOME: ADVANCED SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY

	* Reduced bleeding and swelling
	* Built-in irrigation system
	* Enhanced surgical sculpting capabilities

	* Potential for same-day dining post-surgery
	* Possible return to work within 5 days
	* More consistent and reproducible results

piezotome technology for rhinoplasty procedures, learning directly
from Dr. Olivier Gerbault, the technique's pioneer.

techniques to address structural and cosmetic challenges from prior
interventions.

Potential candidates for revision rhinoplasty include patients
experiencing:

 	* Asymmetrical or distorted nasal structures
	* Breathing difficulties after previous surgery

PROCEDURE COMPLEXITY

Revision rhinoplasty demands exceptional surgical expertise due to
existing scar tissue and altered nasal anatomy. Dr. Raghu Athre
utilizes advanced techniques to rebuild and restructure nasal
frameworks, often requiring additional cartilage grafting from ear,
rib, or cadaveric sources.

SURGICAL APPROACH IN HOUSTON

Dr. Athré's approach to revision rhinoplasty focuses on comprehensive

technique allows precise visualization and correction of complex nasal
structural issues.

	* Costal (rib) cartilage: Excellent for structural support
	* Cadaveric rib cartilage: Rigorously screened donor tissue

BROW LIFT HOUSTON, TX | MARK SCHUSTERMAN, MD, FACS

WHAT IS A BROW LIFT?

In Houston, brow lift patients are treated for sagging, loose skin,
fine lines, and wrinkles around the forehead and brows. As we age,
this area of the face tends to droop and sag, often giving a much
older appearance. Double board-certified Houston plastic surgeon Dr.
Mark Schusterman will examine your brow area and help you determine
the correct cosmetic procedure.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A BROW LIFT?

Determining candidacy for a brow lift involves a simple
self-assessment:

 	* Stand in front of a mirror
	* Gently pull forehead skin up towards the hairline
	* Check if your eyes look less droopy
	* Observe if wrinkles and fine lines diminish

If you noticed improvements during this test, a brow lift might be an
ideal procedure for you.

BROW LIFT TECHNIQUES

ENDOSCOPIC BROW LIFT

Several small incisions are made behind the hairline. An endoscope is
inserted to visualize underlying tissues, allowing precise lifting and
repositioning of forehead muscles.

CORONAL BROW LIFT

An incision is placed across the top of the head from ear to ear. The
forehead is carefully lifted and positioned, with scalp sections
carefully managed and sewn.

HAIRLINE BROW LIFT

Ideal for patients with high or receding hairlines, this technique
involves removing small amounts of skin and tissue from the forehead's
top area without pulling back the hairline.

PROCEDURE RECOVERY

Traditional brow lift recovery typically takes about two weeks.
Bandages are removed in 1-3 days, and sutures are typically removed in
7-10 days. Patients receive specific post-surgical instructions to
minimize recovery time.

BROW LIFT RESULTS

After swelling and bruising subside, patients can expect a more rested
and youthful appearance. Protecting the treated area from sun damage
is crucial for maintaining optimal results.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Potential risks of brow lift surgery include rare complications such
as scarring, skin sensation changes, brow asymmetry, and potential
hair loss. The procedure is considered cosmetic and typically not
covered by traditional insurance.

	* Excess skin hanging over eyelashes
	* Unwanted bulges on lower eyelids
	* Frequent eye infections

The procedure begins with a comprehensive vision exam and photographic
documentation. During surgery, Dr. Schusterman carefully removes
excess eyelid skin to create a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
While the skin is not technically "lifted", the removal of excess
tissue can produce a rejuvenating effect.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure with a manageable recovery
process. Patients can expect:

 	* Temporary puffiness and swelling
	* Light sensitivity
	* Numbness in eyelids
	* Potential bruising

Most patients feel comfortable returning to normal activities within
7-10 days. Approximately 50% of swelling subsides within one week,
with 80-90% resolution by two months.

COST CONSIDERATIONS

The average cost of blepharoplasty ranges from $2,000 to $5,000,
depending on the complexity of the procedure and specific patient
requirements. While pricing varies, Dr. Schusterman emphasizes the
importance of choosing a board-certified surgeon to ensure optimal
results and patient safety.

ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) HOUSTON, TX | MARK SCHUSTERMAN, MD, FACS

WHAT IS BRACHIOPLASTY?

Brachioplasty, otherwise known as an arm lift, is a cosmetic surgery
designed to remove excess skin and fat deposits that cause arm
drooping and sagging. This procedure tightens the arm for a smoother,
more toned appearance. Houston brachioplasty patients often struggle
with loose hanging skin that persists despite diet and exercise.

BRACHIOPLASTY CANDIDACY

Brachioplasty may be appropriate for individuals who:

 	* Are in overall good health
	* Do not smoke or are willing to stop pre and post-surgery
	* Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
	* Feel self-conscious about excess arm skin
	* Want to improve arm appearance and clothing fit

THE BRACHIOPLASTY PROCEDURE

During the procedure, Dr. Mark Schusterman performs an outpatient
surgery under general anesthesia. The incision placement depends on
the amount of excess skin to be removed. Liposuction may be used to
remove excess fat, and loose skin is carefully excised and closed with
absorbable sutures.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing a compression garment and
following specific post-operative instructions. Patients can expect
almost immediate results, with swelling and bruising diminishing over
time. Results can last for years with consistent weight maintenance.

RECOVERY GUIDELINES

 	* Sleep with arms elevated to reduce swelling
	* Take sponge baths until drains are removed
	* Plan for 2-3 weeks off work
	* Wait six weeks before resuming regular exercise

COST AND CONSIDERATIONS

Brachioplasty costs typically average around $8,000, depending on
individual surgical requirements. The procedure is considered cosmetic
and is not usually covered by insurance. Financing options are
available to help manage surgical expenses.
