Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures performed today. It can reshape, reduce or augment a person’s nose to achieve facial harmony and boost self-confidence. Rhinoplasty may be performed as a reconstructive procedure to correct a birth defect or an injury such as a broken nose.
Rhinoplasty may be performed for functional rather than cosmetic reasons as well. Combining nose reshaping with septoplasty or endoscopic sinus surgery can effectively treat certain breathing problems, such as those caused by a deviated septum.
What can rhinoplasty at Osborne Head & Neck Institute do for me?
Rhinoplasty is an excellent procedure to help achieve the following:
Balance the size of the nose with the other facial features
Modify the width of the nose at the bridge
Improve the nasal profile, including removing humps or depressions
Contour a nasal tip that is too large, “boxy,” drooping or upturned
Change the angle between the nose and the mouth
Narrow and reshape the nostrils
Correct asymmetry or deviation
Am I a good candidate for rhinoplasty?
The best candidates for rhinoplasty:
Are at least 13 years old;
Have finished facial growth;
Are generally healthy;
Do not smoke;
Are seeking rhinoplasty for personal reasons, not pressure from others; and
Have realistic goals for the procedure.
