This procedure is also referred to as a forehead lift. Dr. Feledy uses this plastic surgery procedure to reduce the horizontal lines that develop across the forehead. A brow lift can also address the lines between the patient’s eyes as well as those located above the bridge of his or her nose.

Addressing a deviated septum:

A deviated septum can reduce the amount of air entering the nasal passages, which negatively affects the patient’s ability to breathe. Choosing an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon to perform this procedure is vital because when nose surgery is performed to improve an individual’s ability to breathe, careful consideration must be given to the role the nasal structure plays in relation to airflow.

Dr. Jules Feledy has been performing surgery to address a deviated septum for more than 15 years. He knows how to adjust the nasal structure in such a way as to produce better alignment, thus, eliminating the airflow blockage so the patient can breathe easier.
