Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is performed to enhance the aesthetic value and/or functional value of the nose. Many of us are unhappy with the nose we were naturally given and wish we could improve it. Rhinoplasty can address a number of the common complaints people have with their nose. Bumps and indentations in the bridge of the nose, the tip of the nose may be too wide or too narrow, too upturned or too down-turned, etc. Rhinoplasty may be performed using an open technique or a closed technique–meaning the incision is made either inside the nose (closed) or outside the nose (open). The type of technique used depends on what issues are being resolved.
Rhinoplasty may also improve the function of the nose when there are obstructions inside the interior of the nose that are disrupting airflow. If you are interested in learning more about the rhinoplasty procedure and recovery process, and to find out if it may be right for you, contact our office to schedule your consultation today.
