PLASTIC SURGERY PROCEDURE: Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping)

What is an attractive nose? Quite simply, it is a nose that fits your face. It is a natural-looking nose that achieves a harmonious balance with your other facial features. If you feel that your nose is not a good fit, you may benefit from cosmetic surgery of the nose, also called rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty can enhance the shape, size and general appearance of your nose.

Rhinoplasty can be performed on men and women of almost any age. However, it's usually recommended that young people wait until facial growth is complete—about age 13 or 14 for girls and 14 or 15 for boys. If you are a teenager, having the procedure should be your own idea.

You may be a good candidate for rhinoplasty if you have any of the following conditions:

• Your nose appears too large for your face
• There is a bump or depression on the nasal bridge when viewed in profile
• The nose seems too wide when viewed from the front
• The nasal tip droops or plunges
• The tip is thickened or enlarged
• The nostrils are excessively flared
• Your nose is off-center or crooked
• A previous injury has made your nose asymmetrical
• You have an airway obstruction that impairs breathing.

A personal consultation is the first step for every patient considering rhinoplasty. During this meeting, Dr. Almonte will assess your physical and emotional health and discuss your specific cosmetic goals for surgery.
