Looking at my new nose for the first time was such an overwhelming and joyous experience for me that I cried. I've always wanted to 'fix' my nose since I was a teenager, I always hated taking pictures and the first thing I always looked at when I met someone was their nose. Dr. Kassir has helped me in more ways than he can imagine! I'm so blessed to have found such an amazing doctor who is not only knowledgeable but is artistic and really takes the time to match your new nose to the features of your face. I feel like 100 pounds have been lifted off my shoulders. I now finally will never have to worry about how I'm going to style my hair to hide my profile and that's just the honest truth. Another plus is that I can finally breath correctly out of my nose, too! Thank you again Dr. Kassir, you are truly talented and very much appreciated.

ABOUT LIP AUGMENTATION

Do you want to get rid of the lines above and below your lips? Does your lipstick feather soon after you apply it? Do you want natural fuller looking lips?

Full sensuous lips are a sign of youth and vitality. The aging process often results in excess thinning of the red portion of the upper lip along with a visible lengthening of the distance from the base of the nose to the lip border. Downturned corners of the mouth impart a frowning appearance, which usually does not reflect the individual's underlying emotional state.

Options for enhancement of the lips and mouth include a variety of injectable "fillers": Restylane®, Radiesse™ and fat. Fat reinjection may provide more long-lasting results but is sometimes unpredictable as to the degree of improvement.

Lip Augmentation using Goretex® or Alloderm® can achieve long lasting enhancement of both the upper and lower lips. Goretex implants are permanent and well tolerated by the body. Alloderm is a naturally derived implant, which also provides long-term enhancement. The procedure may be done under local anesthesia in the office setting and is customized to achieve the desired degree of enhancement.
