Preservation Rhinoplasty Surgery Technique by Dr Jay Calvert
Dr. Jay Calvert, President of the Rhinoplasty Society, says the preservation rhinoplasty technique has caught the interest of the Rhinoplasty community around the world. This philosophical approach to rhinoplasty allows the surgeon to attempt to preserve as much natural structure as possible. This includes the soft tissue ligaments and cartilaginous structures of the bridge of the nose. Dr. Calvert preforms over 200 rhinoplasty operations a year from offices in Beverly Hills and Newport Beach, California and has seen the interest in Preservation Rhinoplasty increase. His patients continue to become more selective when choosing a premiere plastic surgeon. They want a plastic surgeon who can deliver outstanding results. This technique has become a topic of discussion. In a blog post on his website, Dr Calvert discusses this preservation rhinoplasty in greater detail. While Dr. Calvert feels that this technique may be useful in some very select cases, he cautions rhinoplasty surgeons to be careful when adopting this novel approach to an operation they already perform in a tried and true way.
"I am cautiously excited about preservation rhinoplasty. And, I will evaluating this technique like any other new technique...with a keen eye on patient safety, reliable and reproducible results, and its ability to improve my patient's results," said Dr. Jay Calvert. "There is no substitute for thorough evaluation and study of techniques and the outcomes from implementing those techniques."
Dr. Jay Calvert, was installed as President of The Rhinoplasty Society annual meeting on May 16, 2019, in New Orleans, Louisiana. As President, he will be responsible for overseeing the operations of the Society, appointing committee members, and continuing to generate the highest quality rhinoplasty education in the world. On October 9 - 11, 2020, The Rhinoplasty Society will partner with the Rhinoplasty Society of Europe to hold the 3rd International Meeting of the Rhinoplasty Societies in Berlin, Germany. Dr Calvert will be lending his expertise to this meeting, as well.
Dr Jay Calvert will be speaking at the 15th annual Vegas Cosmetic Surgery meeting June 5-8, 2019 in Las Vegas. His lectures will include "In Situ Total Septal Reconstruction" and a Masters' Seminar on "Nasal Tip Architecture."

Innovative solutions MTF Biologics will highlight at The Aesthetic Meeting, include:
Renuva®: An allograft adipose matrix that conveniently treats small volume soft tissue defects in the face, breast and body. An alternative to fat grafting, Renuva is made from donated human adipose, or fat. It is produced from the highest quality tissue and gives patients the same benefits as fat grafting without the need for liposuction. A natural injection that does not require general anesthesia, Renuva can be administered in a doctor’s office.
Renuva will be presented by Dr. Haideh Hirmand at Hot Topics on Friday, May 17 at 1 p.m., and by Dr. Barbara Hayden on Sunday, May 19 at 10:30 a.m.
Meso BioMatrix®: A strong, thin xenograft tissue form for plastic and reconstructive surgery that offers surgeons a new option for patients requiring soft tissue repair and/or reinforcement such as suture line reinforcement and muscle flap reinforcement.
Profile®: A pre-shaped, costal cartilage allograft, Profile is used in rhinoplasty procedures. It allows surgeons to avoid having to perform additional surgery to obtain cartilage from a patient’s ear or rib, leading to less post-operative pain and scarring. Because Profile is made from human tissue, it is natural to the patient’s own body, which means fewer chances of infection or extrusion than synthetic implants.
Profile Costal Cartilage, Renuva and Meso Biomatrix will be featured in the Modern Techniques in Rhinoplasty Cadaver Workshop on Friday, May 17 at 2 p.m.
LipoGrafter®: LipoGrafter is a practical fat grafting solution designed for better graft survival. The easy-to-use technology offers surgeons a safe and efficient way to harvest a patient’s fat and deliver it in areas where the patient may require or seek additional volume.

Mia Khalifa says Dr Jay Calvert ‘saved my life’ following surgery after getting hit by puck in boob
Dr. Jay Calvert is a board certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, one of the best in his field, and also the host of the Dr. Hockey Podcast first reached out to me to be on his podcast and talk playoffs. After hearing about my gruesome injury at the Capitals/Lightening playoff game where i got hit in the left breast with a hockey puck during the game, he knew he could help me. I was reluctant to let a penguins fan operate on me at first, but in the end, I trusted him and his years of experience specializing in revision work, and thank god I did!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekw75G-XKHg
To Dr Jay Calvert from @miakhalifa: "You can say anything you want about me and my decisions, but one thing that no one can argue is my transparency on social media. I don’t hide behind filters or make things out to be better than they are. Sometimes things are ugly, and bloody, and boring, and covered in hormonal breakouts, but that is life and I will always embrace it. This was my decision behind sharing my surgery journey with @drjaycalvert, I could go on and on about what he did to fix my hockey puck breast injury, but i won’t because I could never be as eloquent as he is, just watch the video for yourself. WARNING: Extremely graphic, and not for the faint of heart. We shared as much of the actual surgery as YouTube terms and conditions would allow. I just want to say a quick thank you to @drjaycalvert and his team at @roxspanb and especially @jolene_aesthetics_roxspa for making my recovery so easy, checking in with me every day, and welcoming me with smiles and laughs whenever I came in to the office. You guys embody “team work,” thank you so much for everything you did for me." Miakhalifa
March 2019 NIP 'N PUCK Former star legend Mia Khalifa says Dr Jay Calvert ‘saved my life’ following surgery after getting hit by puck in boob. Sports presenter is recovering with her boyfriend Robert Sandberg in Los Angeles following four-hour 'fat grafting' surgery to fix damaged implant. Beverly Hills-based Dr Jay Calvert, a plastic surgeon expert, performed the procedure, which involved transferring fat from one part of Mia's body to her breast. He explained the "deflated boob" was partly caused due to the position of her implant, which was about seven or eight years old. Mia, 26, said: "Getting hit by the hockey puck damaged my breast but saved my life!" When ruptured, saline and silicone from breast implants can leak into the body and cause serious infection.

Everything to Know About Getting a Rhinoplasty by NewBeauty | Dr Jay Calvert
May 7th 2019 Everything to Know About Getting a Rhinoplasty by NewBeauty | Yahoo Lifestyle
Dr Jay Calvert MD on What to expect: Irregular Nostrils “Selfie nation has caused people to really look more carefully at their nostrils, so we’re doing a lot more nostril modifications these days,” says Beverly Hills, CA plastic surgeon Dr Jay Calvert, MD. Surgeons can do any number of things to create a complementary set, “from moving the septum and adding cartilage to the rim of the nostrils, to moving the alar base and tucking up the mucosal lining of the nostrils,” says Dr. Calvert. Some of these tweaks can even be done in the office under local anesthesia.
Deemed one of the most challenging procedures in plastic surgery—one where “millimeters and symmetry really matter,” notes Philadelphia facial plastic surgeon Jason Bloom, MD— rhinoplasty (the “nose job”) can reduce or enhance the size of the nose, smooth away humps and bumps, tweak the shape and orientation of the tip, raise or lower the bridge, and relieve breathing problems. “Our aim is not just to make the smallest nose we can,” Dr. Bloom adds, “but to balance the tip and nostril size with nasal function and support”—objectives often achieved by using grafts (made of the body’s own cartilage and fascia) to change the framework of the nose. Done right, the high-impact procedure can bring overall balance to the face, and in many cases, make patients look younger. By “enhancing the supporting structures and making the link between the tip and other parts of the nose stronger, we assure that the nose won’t be as susceptible to dramatic gravity forces and the droopiness that occurs to every nose with age,” says Cleveland plastic surgeon Bahman Guyuron, MD.

Along with a slew of technical upgrades, an evolved aesthetic has helped make the surgery a 21st-century staple. “The goal of any rhinoplasty is a natural, un-operated look—never the scooped-out slope with pointy, turned-up tip,” says Dallas plastic surgeon Rod Rohrich, MD. Meeting expectations starts at consultation, when you and your surgeon will map out your new nose—typically with the help of 3-D imaging, which lets you glimpse every angle, and tweak accordingly—and discuss the surgical maneuvers that may be required to create it, or at least come close (as doctors can’t guarantee your final result will be an exact replica of the computer-generated image).
Two Approaches to Rhinoplasty: Open
“While closed rhinoplasty is the classic approach to the nose, open rhinoplasty rose to popularity in the early ’80s, and became the more common method for teaching residents in training, as the operating surgeon was able to point out the anatomy with the nasal skin elevated,” explains Los Angeles plastic surgeon Geoffrey Keyes, MD.
Closed
The closed, or endonasal, approach is sometimes dubbed “scarless rhinoplasty” because incisions are hidden inside the nose. Despite the name, Dr. Bloom says, “We can still see everything we need to. We’re taking the still-attached cartilages out of the nose through the nostrils, suturing them, modifying them, and putting them back.”
Key Questions to Ask During Your Consultation
Are You Board-Certified?
Your doctor should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) or the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS).
How Many Rhinoplasties Do You Perform Weekly?
While there is a select lot of rhinoplasty specialists who operate on multiple noses daily, Dr. Rohrich says a true expert should do three to five rhinoplasties a week, and have at least 10 years of experience.
May I See Before-and-After Images of My Specific Problem?
“At the end of the consult, when we’re looking at before-and-afters, most of my patients will say, ‘Her nose looks like mine!’ during our review. And that’s my goal: to show patients I can address their particular issues,’ notes Dr. Bloom. Ask to see 10 or more relatable B&A photos. And beware of cookie-cutter results: “Older techniques called for removal or interruption of too much cartilage, which resulted in prototype noses—everyone had the same nose,” says Dr. Guyuron.
What Approach Would You Use for My Nose, and Why?
When it comes to open or closed, one method isn’t superior, but ideally, your surgeon will be proficient in both, so he or she “can match the approach with the complexity of your case,” says Dr. Bloom. “You want the surgeon to be comfortable with the approach they choose, not adapt their style to fit your requests.

March 18th 2019 Researchers Launching CBD Study with Former Hockey Players. Investigators are looking for a link between the cannabinoid and alleviation of concussion-related health conditions.
The NHL Alumni Association is one of the sponsors of a study that will examine the effects of CBD on around 100 former pro hockey players who suffer from brain trauma caused by the league’s notoriously rough play. “It’s really rather sad when you see these giants of sport having to deal with terrible headaches and emotional issues as well—there’s quite a bit of anxiety and depression and PTSD in athletes that has gone unrecognized,” neurosurgeon Charles Tator told a morning television program on Monday. The announcement of the study is a victory for the former NHL players who have fought for adequate treatment for the damage that professional hockey does to its athletes. Detroit Red Wings standout Darren McCarty and VEDA Sport director Marvin Degon are among the players past and present that have been outspoken about the urgency of connecting pro athletes to safe and effective cannabis treatment for chronic pain. In fact, professional hockey is leading the charge when it comes to athletes having access to marijuana. Currently, 28 of the NHL’s 31 teams is located in an area where players are able to consume cannabis with minimal risk of penalty. The league in general tends to separate their approach to players’ drug use between performance-enhancing drugs and “drugs of abuse”. The latter category of substances is dealt with on an often confidential, case-by-case basis geared towards helping players to deal with addiction issues. There is no publicly available list of the league’s banned “drugs of abuse”. This approach is in stark contrast to the MLB, NBA, and NFL, which take a much more punitive view of many substance. Their players are still banned from use of cannabis completely, despite the fact that 82 percent of major league teams (including the NHL) are located in regions where cannabis is recreationally or medicinally authorized. This zero tolerance policy has raised concern among those who recognize the heavy physical punishment visited on professional players’ bodies in a typical work day. But the chorus of voices for medicinal marijuana in pro sports is growing. The volume was turned up last year with former NBA Commissioner David Stern told an interviewer that he thought cannabis should be removed from the league’s list of banned substances. “I think there is universal agreement that marijuana for medical purposes should be completely legal,” Stern said. The study for former NHL-ers is due to start this summer and will entail giving many participants CBD pills for a period of one year, the investigation being sponsored by the NHL Alumni Association, Canopy Growth, and Neeka Health. Should the study reveal positive linkage between the treatment and alleviation of symptoms, Canopy Growth has committed to funding further research. The line of study is crucial for former athletes who need an alternative for pain treatment to highly addictive opioids typically prescribed for such health conditions. Concussion-related conditions have been found to lead to depression, PTSD, and dementia. “We see a lot of athletes who have chronic pain and have other problems related to repetitive brain trauma,” said Tator. “We are reasonably optimistic that cannabis and especially the CBD part of cannabis can relieve a lot of that suffering.” https://hightimes.com/news/researchers-launching-cbd-study-former-hockey-players/
