Since her 20s, Andrea was self-conscious about her nose, often tilting her head to the side to hide its asymmetry and bulbous tip. For decades, all she could see in the mirror was that flaw. 

By her 40s, she was mentally and financially ready for rhinoplasty. After rhinoplasty with Houston facial plastic surgeon Dr. Taylor DeBusk, she sees her entire face in a new way.

As a teacher working face-to-face with people, Andrea spends a lot of time making eye contact. Feeling confident in her appearance has transformed the way she connects with others.

Before surgery, people always told Andrea she looked just like her dad… not exactly what a girl wants to hear. Now, she has the best of both worlds—the nose she always wanted while still looking like part of her family.

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

Just like the rest of our bodies, earlobes age over time. They lose fat, get wrinkly, and stretch out. Fillers or fat injections can plump them up and make them look normal again. 

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.
