Rhinoplasty/Septoplasty
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, or a “nose job,” is a commonly performed cosmetic procedure that offers dramatic results. The procedure can be used to reshape a person’s nose to bring it into balance with surrounding facial features and create an attractive focal point on the face. Many people go through life feeling self-conscious about the shape or size of their nose, and rhinoplasty can offer functional, flattering benefits. Rhinoplasty can increase or reduce the size of your nose, alter the shape of the tip or bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. By repairing the bridge, nostrils, or tip of the nose, Dr. Jones can treat deformities such as a hump, crooked nose, or tip problems.
Ideal Rhinoplasty Candidates May Have:
- A nose that is too large or too small compared to other facial features.
- A wide nose.
- A bump on the bridge of the nose.
- A bulbous tip.
- A tip that is enlarged, droops, or protrudes.
- A crooked or off-center nose.
- Excessively flared or pinched nostrils.
- An asymmetrical or irregularly shaped nose due to injury.
- A defect that causes difficulty breathing.
The one concern we hear very often by patients is that they don't want to lose their ethnicity. A rhinoplasty can make profound changes, but they are still subtle. In other words, you still have the same nose, only is has been improved or refined. It is not possible to turn your nose into an entirely different nose. So don't worry about that. You will still have your family nose, only without the hump or bulbous tip or it being wide or drooping. We can lift the tip, narrow the nose and easily get rid of that pesky hump.
If your nose bothers you, make an appointment and let Dr. Jones take a look at it and tell you how he could improve it in whatever way it bothers you.
