Popular Types of Sports Injury Cosmetic Surgery

Not every athlete plays the same game or suffers the same injury, at Michael J. Sundine Plastic Surgery, we offer plenty of facial surgical and cosmetic solutions to many sports-related injuries.

Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

Balls flying, pucks soaring, sticks poking, arms wailing – a broken nose is easily one of the more frequent occurrences in the wide world of sports. Rhinoplasty helps many athletes fix a broken or crooked nose. Not only will it help fix your nose that maybe didn’t set quite right, but it can also help you breathe easier, and when you’re striving to win the big game, every breath is just as important as the next.

Blepharoplasty (Eye Surgery)

There’s a common phrase involved with most sports, and that is “Keep your eye on the ball”; this advice is much easier to follow when your eyes are fully working. If you have ever suffered from an eye-related injury, you may find that your eyelids are droopy due to the new position of your ocular or orbital bones. Blepharoplasty is a great surgery that focuses on contouring your eyelid to the new shape of your eyes. Incisions to remove excess skin and fat are done very carefully, making them essentially invisible after your healing process is complete.

Facial Fracture Repair

There are many bumps, bruises, and scars that athletes will use to tell their story, but the one thing that no one wants is a broken face. When one gains an aggressive facial injury, one primary concern is whether or not the face will return to its original look. With a Facial Fracture Repair, inconspicuous incisions are utilized to ensure minimal visibility.

Otoplasty (Ear Surgery)

Cauliflower ear is an experience shared by wrestlers, bowers, hockey players, and rugby players alike. This condition is caused by blood clotting in the connective tissue of the ear, which causes permanent scar tissue that makes the ear look swollen and misshapen. During ear surgery, Dr. Sundine will carefully correct misshapen ears to create improved symmetry. If the ears are protruding, he will carefully pin them back so they’re closer to the head.

Patient Reviews & Testimonials

  • "I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE!!!"

    I gave Dr. Sundine the highest possible review in each category because he truly deserved the highest reviews on every level. I am a very well recognized lawyer on the West Coast. My firm has spent millions of dollars on television advertising in which I appear. I could not afford to have a bad face lift or even for people to notice I had a face lift at all. I interviewed many physicians including some of the “celebrity” physicians. Ultimately, I chose Dr. Sundine because he performs highly complex complete facial reconstruction procedures on children. I figured if he was so skilled that he could perform such incredibly difficult procedures on a child, I was confident he could perform a face lift with which I would be happy. The results were so far beyond my expectations that I could hardly believe. I look literally ten years younger. I am incredibly happy with the results and they seem to get better and better as the healing continues. I never had a problem getting a return call or making an appointment. Dr. Sundine is always pleasant and answers all of my questions. I would recommend him to anyone!!!

  • "Thanks, Dr. Sundine!"

    After much research and multiple visits to other surgeons, I knew right away that Dr. Sundine was the perfect choice for me. He is gentle and kind and genuinely listens to you. I felt completely confident in his ability from the first visit to the last. Even the day of the procedure, he spent ample time talking to me, taking measurements, and making marks on my body so as to get the perfect results. I have been singing his praises to all of my friends and will recommend him to anyone searching for a plastic surgeon. Thanks, Dr. Sundine!

  • "Excellent Plastic Surgeon!"

    Dr. Sundine is an excellent plastic surgeon! I have been using his services for almost 5 years. The office setting is state of the art and his office manager Toni makes sure that everything runs efficiently. They really listen to your needs before and after surgery to make certain that you walk out fully satisfied. If you want to look years younger and fully refreshed I highly recommend that you use his services. This is not your typical Newport Beach plastic surgeon’s office. Patients walk out looking naturally gorgeous, not overdone like some of the women in Orange County! The office offers a full range of injectables, peels, and lasers in addition to major cosmetic surgery procedures. Whether you need a little tweak or surgery this is the physician that you should see!
