Sinus & Facial Plastic Institute is the first and only facility in central Florida that is dedicated to the complete medical care of the nose, both cosmetic and functional. This is made possible by Wade W. Han, M.D., a Harvard trained, double boarded facial plastic and head and neck surgeon, who has brought to central Florida the most advanced medical diagnostic and surgical techniques in the treatment of nasal structural dysfunction such as nasal obstruction and chronic sinusitis as well as external aesthetic deformity or imperfection. Dr. Han’s double certified expertise enables him to evaluate the nose and sinus structures as a whole and treat them in a complete and systematic fashion, to achieve optimal outcome and to avoid many potential limitations and pitfalls found in those one dimensional approaches. Patients no longer have to find separate specialist to deal with medical and cosmetic needs. Many of our referrals come to us by word of mouth, from happy, satisfied patients and their doctors. Some come to us after experiencing unsatisfactory results obtained elsewhere. Our facility is located in Dr. Phillips of southwest Orlando, near Windermere, MetroWest, Hunters Creek and Celebration, with easy accessibility from all areas in central Florida via I-4 and Florida Turnpike. The office is well equipped with fiberoptic endoscopic and microscopic diagnostic systems, professional photo and video suite, computer imaging system, operating suite and onsite CT scanner. The state of art facility, as well as Dr. Han’s credentials and experience, make Sinus & Facial Plastics Institute the central Florida’s center of excellence in your total nose care.
Sinusitis affects 37 million people each year, making it one of the most common health problems in the United States. It is more prevalent than arthritis and hypertension and has a greater impact on quality of life than diabetes or congestive heart failure. Symptoms may significantly affect people physically, functionally, and emotionally.1 Sinusitis is usually preceded by a cold, allergy attack or irritation from environmental pollutants. Often, the resulting symptoms, such as nasal pressure and congestion run their course in a few days. If symptoms persist, a bacterial infection or acute sinusitis may develop. If the condition occurs frequently or lasts three months or more, it may be chronic sinusitis. The most frequently used treatments for chronic sinusitis are medical therapies and/or sinus surgery.
The introduction of Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), a term coined by David W. Kennedy, M.D. in the 80’s, revolutionized the treatment of chronic sinusitis in the United States.2 Led by a group of renowned academic surgeons centered at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Medicine, the sub-speciality of Rhinology was revitalized in the specialty of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (Ear, Nose and Throat). Tremendous progress has been made in Rhinology over the past 20 years, both in our understanding as well as medical and surgical treatment of diseases affecting nose and paranasal sinuses. Sinus surgery no longer involves skin or gum incisions, and in experienced hands, post-operative bleeding and pain are minimal and nasal packing is no longer necessary after this outpatient procedure. More recent advances with enhanced fiberoptics, high resolution imaging processing and display, image guided surgery with preoperative or real time CT, and introduction of innovative instruments like microdebriders and balloon sinuplastic setups, have greatly improved the surgeons’ ability to perform not only the routine functional endoscopic sinus surgery, but also the more complex anterior skull base endoscopic procedures like CSF leak repair, orbital and optic nerve decompression, trans-sphenoidal approach to the sella and various skull base tumor resections.

BOTOX® Cosmetic
 BOTOX® Cosmetic is commonly used to reduce or eliminate the appearance of facial wrinkles. It is injected under the skin into areas surrounding the eyes, forehead and mouth to smooth crow's feet, frown and worry lines, and lines on the neck. Made from a purified protein, BOTOX® relaxes wrinkles and gives the face a rejuvenated look. BOTOX® may also be useful for migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and eye and neck muscle spasms.
Restylane®
Restylane® is designed to smooth wrinkles, sculpt lips and shape facial contours. It is a clear, synthetic gel made with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that is found throughout your body. It carries little risk of allergic reaction. The most common areas for treatment are the glabellar lines (between the eyebrows) and the nasolabial folds (from the root of the nose to the angle of your mouth). With its unique ability to bind with water, Restylane remains in your skin for many months.
Juvéderm™ Injectable Gel
 Juvéderm™ is an injectable gel that gently reverses many signs of aging in the face, including fine lines and wrinkles, crow's feet, thinning lips and loosening skin. It can also "plump up" the lips, sculpt the cheeks, and restore a youthful oval shape to the face. It is made with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body that works with collagen and elastin to give volume and support to the skin. Because it is non-animal-based and highly biocompatible, no pre-treatment testing is needed. Juvéderm comes in three formulas optimized for the depth of the area being treated. Results last about 6-9 months and can be made to last even longer with a simple follow-up treatment a few weeks after the initial injection.

Radiesse™
Radiesse™ is a synthetic injectable filler that reduces wrinkles, creases and scars by augmenting the body’s natural collagen supply. It can be used on many areas of the body, including the lips, nasolabial folds, peri-oral lines, depressed scars and oral commissures. Treatments typically take 15 minutes and require only local anesthetic. Results are visible immediately after the injection and can last for months or years.
Sculptra® Injectable
 Sculptra® counteracts the loss of fat beneath the skin (a condition called lipoatrophy). Sculptra® is injected into the deep dermis layer of the skin to improve the appearance of sunken cheeks, hollow eyes, indentations and wrinkles. Its main component is an alpha hyrdoxy acid that has been used for 20 years in surgical products such as dissolvable sutures. Results can last up to two years.
Obagi Skin System
Obagi Nu-Derm is a skin treatment program used alone or as a preparation for other procedures to develop and maintain healthy skin. Designed for easy use at home, in six weeks—the time it takes for the outer layer of your skin to be replaced with the fresh one beneath—the Nu-Derm System transforms damaged, dry or wrinkled areas into smooth, soft and well-moisturized skin. Nu-Derm also strengthens your skin against day-to-day damage, reduces the appearance of blemishes and other discoloration, improves circulation, and rebuilds collagen for a fuller, younger look.
