Salt Lake City Blepharoplasty
As we age our skin begins to lose elasticity and fat, which keeps it looking healthy, tight, alert and youthful. The skin, particularly around the eyes, is vulnerable to wrinkles, creases and sagging. These days there are many options for rejuvenating the skin of our eyelids, one of the most effective and popular treatments is Blepharoplasty.
Salt Lake City Blepharoplasty, also known as Eyelid Lift surgery, is a procedure which removes excess skin and tightens the skin of the eyelids to reduce wrinkles, sagging and lower-lid bags. Scars are minimal to completely hidden in the natural creases of the eye so that there are no tell-tale signs of the procedure. Often Blepharoplasty is done in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as Brow Lift, Face Lift and Dermal Fillers.

The 8 Year Old Botox Girl
At this point pretty much everyone knows about the story of 8 year old Britney Campbell whose Mom proudly boasted that she was giving her beauty pageant attending daughter Botox injections.
There has recently been some speculation made about if the girl is still in her mother’s custody or even if the whole thing was just a hoax. Regardless, it’s an important opportunity to be reminded that Botox, like all other cosmetic enhancements and procedures, should only be performed by a respected, board-certified plastic surgeon.
Botox, when used correctly on an adult who is showing common signs of aging, and when administered by a board-certified professional who has examined the adult and determined that they could safely benefit from Botox and achieve the results they desire, can be a positive thing. Learn more about Botox and contact our office to schedule your consultation with Dr. John Bitner.
Lip Augmentation
A plump pout has long been considered a stable of sensual beauty. For most of us, however, a plump pout just wasn’t in the cards. Walk down any cosmetic aisle in any drug store and you’ll find a plethora of glosses that promise to give you that “stung” look with a side of tingly. These are fine for some who desire temporary solutions and a moderate enhancement. For others looking for a more long lasting, effective approach Surgisil Lip Implants may be a better fit for you. Surgisil Lip Implants are soft, natural looking implants that last.
The best way to determine if a Lip Augmentation is right for you is by setting up a personal consultation with Dr. Bitner to asses your goals. Contact our office today.

Salt Lake City Nose Surgery – Functional and Aesthetic Fixes
People choose to have Rhinoplasty, or Nose Surgery, for both aesthetic and corrective reasons. Deviated Septums are among the most common reason people choose to have Rhinoplasty. Having a Deviated Septum can make it very difficult to breath properly. Another reason people choose Rhinoplasty is for it’s aesthetic benefits. Some people feel their noses are too large or that it is disproportionate to the rest of their face. Injury to the nose causing crookedness or deformity is also another reason people choose to undergo Rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty generally takes around an hour to complete and the results are instant, minus some initial swelling and bruising. Your splint or bandage will be removed anywhere from one to two weeks after the procedure and you can often return to work within days of the procedure. Of course, every patient’s experience and recovery is different, so it is important that you listen to your body and consult with your doctor if you have any questions.
