Rhinoplasty

Welcome to our Rhinoplasty site! Most cosmetic and plastic surgeons agree that rhinoplasty (nose job) is the most difficult and technically challenging aesthetic surgical procedure. It is the purpose of this site to de-mystify the terminology and some of the technical issues that surround rhinoplasty. Hopefully, you will be equipped to make right decisions should you have a nasal deformity or breathing problem and be contemplating rhinoplasty or septoplasty.

We suggest that you begin by reviewing the analysis section for it is here that both you and your surgeon develop a clear understanding of facial and nasal proportion as well as noting specific anatomic features of your nose that require special attention.

We believe the most common cause of an undesirable outcome necessitating secondary rhinoplasty is an inadequate or missed diagnosis. We will outline several anatomic features of the nose that predispose to recurrent deformity or poor outcomes as well as ways these problems can be circumvented. A discussion of correcting these secondary problems (secondary rhinoplasty) is also given.

One of the most problematic types of nasal deformity is that resulting from the congenital occurrence of cleft lip and cleft palate. Great progress has been made in correcting these nasal deformities both in infancy and adulthood.
