  • Earlobe repair surgery is a quick and easy fix that trims away the excess tissue and reshapes the earlobe.

    Dr. DeBusk explains everything you need to know about earlobe repair surgery, from how long the procedure takes to when it’s safe to get your ears pierced again.

  • Hyper-focused on the bump on her nose in the mirror every day and constantly worried about her “bad angles” in photos or videos, Hannah wanted rhinoplasty since middle school.

  • As his hair thinned, Steve recalled that “I was having issues with my customers... I just wasn't getting the right response from people and it was affecting sales.”

    He went to get a special certification for his plumbing business to show customers extra proof of his trustworthiness.

    But before he walked through the doors at the convention, there were 4 large photos of men with different combinations of hair & facial hair accompanied by the poll question “Which of these men would you trust to be in your home alone with your wife?”

    98% of the plumbers at the convention chose the clean shaven man with a full head of hair.

    He knew exactly what needed to happen next, and found Dr. Basu for Neograft hair restoration.
    Steve shares his experience, including why he chose Dr. Basu, what happened during his treatment, and how he feels about his results.

  • Because it can take 12-18 months for swelling to go down and final results to show after a rhinoplasty, it’s important to set aside your worries while healing.

    Normal recovery aside, if you’ve had a rhinoplasty and your results don’t look the way you expected, Dr. DeBusk breaks down the common reasons for revision surgery, including irregular contours on the nasal bridge, Pollybeak deformity (downward facing tip), and functional problems.

    One of the only reasons a revision rhinoplasty would be done less than 12 months after the initial procedure is saddle nose deformity, in which the bridge sinks into a saddle shape.

    Dr. Taylor DeBusk answers the most common worries of patients wondering if they might need a second surgery, including:


    What happens if extra tissue is needed for revision surgery and where is it taken from?What could happen if I had a revision rhinoplasty too soon after my initial procedure?What functional problems can cause me to need revision rhinoplasty?Will the surgeon think I’m crazy for having concerns with my rhinoplasty results?What if I can’t go back to the surgeon who did my primary rhinoplasty?How common is the need for revision rhinoplasty?

  • For jowling, loose skin, and other signs of aging in the face and neck, a surgical face lift may be an option. Dr. Basu’s preferred technique is the deep plane face and neck lift because it delivers refreshed, natural-looking results.

    The deep plane face and neck lift tightens the deeper layers of the face, bringing the skin along with it. By targeting these deeper layers, facial balance is restored without an overtightened look.

  • Just five days after Dr. Basu removed 190 ccs of fat from a patient’s neck with FaceTite, she called crying tears of joy because her jowls were already gone and her jawline was sharp.

    Incredible transformations are possible in the jowls and neck area with FaceTite, and most of Dr. Basu’s patients see reduced fat and tightened skin right away. Over time as collagen regenerates, the skin tightening continues to improve by up to 40%.

    FaceTite is a powerful minimally invasive tool that uses radio frequency assisted liposuction (RFAL) to remove stubborn fat in your face and neck while simultaneously using radio frequency energy to tighten loose skin.

    Find out how it’s done, who is and isn’t a good candidate, and what recovery looks like.
