About Cosmetic Nose Surgery

One of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures is rhinoplasty, also commonly known as a nose job. Rhinoplasty surgery can serve dual purposes, creating a more aesthetically pleasing look and also helping breathing conditions, such as a deviated septum.. Whether it's because of a genetic defect or some kind of injury, many people have trouble breathing through their nose. A rhinoplasty can counteract this, clearing the airway so you can breathe freely. It can even repair a deviated septum, straightening it and removing any blockages in the airway.

Many people also choose to get rhinoplasty solely for cosmetic purposes, and there are a number of options available:

• It can change the size of your nose, either increasing or decreasing it depending on your preference.
• It can adjust the tip of your nose. Some people are unhappy because the tip of their nose is either larger than the rest of their nose or they don't like the position of it, preferring it were less droopy or upturned. A rhinoplasty can fix this.
• If you are unhappy with your nostrils, a rhinoplasty can adjust the size, making them smaller, bigger, or even adjusting their width.
• A rhinoplasty can also improve the bridge of your nose, either by adjusting the width or removing any humps or depressions.
• If you feel unsatisfied with the angle of your nose to your upper lip, nose surgery can change this as well.

There are two types of techniques used for rhinoplasty:

• closed procedure
• open procedure

In the former, the incision is actually made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scar. However, if your surgery is a bit more complicated, your surgeon will use the open procedure in which the incision is made on the tissue that separates the nostrils. Even though this is more visible, it gives the doctor more room to work.

California Surgical Institute has rhinoplasty specialists who were trained in the scar-free closed technique and perform the component dorsal reduction of the nasla bone and cartilage. This ensures the smoothest result for patients, leaving them looking great and feeling confident about the appearance and function of their nose.

We also offer rhinoplasty surgeons who specialize in and revision rhinoplasty procedures. These surgeons are highly specialized in this corrective procedure and offer complimentary consultations to discuss your particular needs. Revision rhinoplasty may require either an open or closed technique, depending on the structure of your nose and the corrective action necessary to achieve your aesthetic goals.
