RhinoPlasty (Nose Surgery)

The nose being the center of the face, is an important focal point. Rhinoplasty can recontour, reduce, straighten, or even build up the nose so that it compliments the other facial features. In addition we want to respect the physiological importance of the nose as an essential part of the breathing mechanism. Besides correcting the external features, internal nasal deformities that can contribute to breathing problems can also be addressed. Rhinoplasty,or nose surgery is one of the most common aesthetic procedures and can be performed under general or local anesthesia. Following surgery a splint may be necessary for a week. There may also be some discoloration and bruising that will continue to fade over a couple of weeks.
