Nose Surgery
Nose surgery, also known as Rhinoplasty, is an aesthetic procedure that enhances the size, shape and proportions of the nose. It can also correct impaired breathing caused by structural defects in the nose.
Many people choose to undergo rhinoplasty for a variety of reasons, including correcting a nasal hump, refining the tip or bridge of the nose, or addressing breathing difficulties.
You may want to consider nose surgery if you have any of the following: nose profile with visible humps or depressions on the bridge, nasal tip that is enlarged, bulbous, drooping or hooked, nostrils that are large or wide, nose size that is disproportionate to facial balance or nasal asymmetry.
At The Skin Clinic, we believe that rhinoplasty is a highly personal and individualized procedure, and we work closely with our patients to develop customized treatment plans that meet their unique needs and goals. Our experienced plastic surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking results and minimize scarring and downtime.
If you are considering rhinoplasty, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our doctors to learn more about the procedure and how we can help you achieve your desired outcomes. We are committed to providing safe, effective, and compassionate care to every patient and look forward to helping you feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin.
