Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a surgical technique that changes nose shape. Rhinoplasty can be motivated by adjusting the appearance of the nose, enhancing breathing or both.

The upper half of the nose structure is bone, and the lower portion is cartilage. Rhinoplasty has the ability to alter bone , cartilage, skin or all three. Speak to your surgeon about whether rhinoplasty is ideal for you, and what it can do.

Your surgeon should consider your other facial features, the skin on your nose and what you want to alter while preparing rhinoplasty. When you are an operational applicant the surgeon will create a personalized plan for you.

Why rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty can alter your nose size , shape, or proportions. This can be performed to repair injury deformities, correct a birth defect or improve any trouble in breathing.

Rhinoplasty as in any major surgery brings risks such as:

• Physical review. The doctor will perform a comprehensive medical exam and any laboratory examinations, such as blood tests. He may also analyze your facial features and the interior and exterior of your nose.
• A conversation on your goals. You and your health care provider should speak about your reasons and goals. He'll explain what rhinoplasty can and can't do for you, and what might be the outcomes.
