Dr. Harris is a leader in a burgeoning group of aesthetic practitioners who aspire to reclaim the spiritual power that lies in lifting up the connections between beauty, health, and identity. His Chevy Chase, MD-based Center for Aesthetic Modernism is recognized for pioneering research and innovative approaches to healthy aesthetics. The Center was the first clinical practice in the United States to adopt 3D facial imaging technology as a consultation tool, and Dr. Harris played a key role in helping Canfield Scientific, Inc. develop that technology. More recently, he has served as a lead research advisor for the Smithsonian Institution Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage – Will to Adorn Project and as a Sanaa Circle board member for the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art. In 2013, Dr. Harris was honored with a Maharishi Award for the area of Health and Wholeness.
A heavy drooping brow can alter the way you look and feel. Eyebrow position is a key factor to facial rejuvenation. A normal female forehead lift in Washington DC starts next to the nose and gently arcs over the bony eye socket to reach a high point between the outermost color portion of your eye and the bony edge. A male's eyebrow arc is less pronounced and rides along the bony rim. When the brow is low, an unnatural appearance is seen. The patient looks tired and angry.
The extra weight causes a buildup of skin and a droopiness of the upper eyelid. Surgical improvement refreshes the eyebrow/eye region. This surgery is often combined with eyelid lifts to create a complete rejuvenation of the upper face. Together with a facelift, the entire face can be rejuvenated. Dynamic facial lines are often seen around the nose and on the forehead. Utilizing Botox® Cosmetic prior to the surgery will help erase these lines and prevent the underlying muscles from pulling the brow down after it is re-suspended during surgery.
The African Diaspora is the movement of people of African descent throughout the world via historic migration, slavery and most recently immigration. I list below the most common categories of patients of African descent who present to my office for Rhinoplasty.
• Multi-ethnic descendants of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade born and raised in the United States
• Immigrants of African and Caribbean countries now residing in the United States
• Native born America Children of an African or Caribbean immigrant.
Racial admixture in the African American population has resulted in a diverse array of nasal beauty. Psychosocial impressions of ethnic identity may be quite different for a Nigerian patient who immigrated by choice to the United States versus the patient born and raised in America with remote African ancestry originating from the transatlantic slave trade. My prospective Rhinoplasty patients of African descent hold preservation of ethnic identity in high regard as they seek to enhance facial attractiveness.
When we look to understand nasal beauty in African American patients, it is important to appreciate the role of multicultural ancestry. Nasal features frequently reflect mixed ethnic heritage of African, European, Native American and Latino descent.
Rhinoplasty is widely accepted as being one of the most technically challenging plastic surgery operations. When it comes to african american rhinoplasty Washington DC, technical expertise is not the most significant battle to overcome in achieving a favorable aesthetic outcome. Techniques can be taught. More challenging is the ability to appreciate aesthetic limitations related to nasal anatomy in African American patients and developing an aesthetic appreciation for African American beauty.
