Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular surgical cosmetic enhancement procedures available. This treatment can alter the size, shape, and symmetry of your nose, improving harmony among facial features. Nose surgery can also correct common nasal problems such as a deviated septum or issues with the turbinates (structures that add moisture and warmth to the air flowing through nasal passages). Rhinoplasty offers many benefits; however, like all surgical procedures, there are also some risks that youll need to be aware of while considering the procedure.
Dr. Fredric Newman has performed countless rhinoplasty procedures and is highly experienced with this advanced treatment. He has seen firsthand the way rhinoplasty can beautifully rejuvenate ones appearance and resolve problems he or she may have had throughout their entire lives. Some of the benefits of rhinoplasty include:
- Reduction in the size of a large/wide nose, hump, or bridge
- Reduction or reshaping of the nostrils
- Reduction or reshaping of the nasal tip
- Correction of nasal asymmetry
- Functional correction of breathing problems
- Improvement of balance between the nose and other facial features
- A positive effect on the overall appearance of the face
