Are you considering rhinoplasty to enhance your nose’s appearance or improve your breathing? With three decades of experience as a cosmetic and plastic surgeon, our rhinoplasty specialist, Dr. Scott Green, helps our patients do both every day.
You might be wondering whether your specific goals are a good fit for rhinoplasty. In general, if you have a nose issue, this surgery can help. It can enhance both appearance and function. Some of the most common reasons to choose rhinoplasty are:
Enhancing Appearance
Most people who seek rhinoplasty do so for cosmetic reasons. If you don’t like your nose size, shape, or general appearance, rhinoplasty could be a good fit. Some of the cosmetic concerns the surgery can fix are:
- Drooping nose tip
- Pointed nose tip
- Bulbous nose
- Nose bump
- Nose bridge hump
- Crooked nose
- Overly wide nose bridge
- Overly wide nostrils
- Nose that’s too short or long
Dr. Green uses advanced techniques to correct these and many other specific nose appearance concerns. He understands that your goal is to look your best, so he’s careful to conceal incisions in the most inconspicuous places possible.
However, even visible scars fade dramatically over time until they’re virtually invisible. Dr. Green focuses on creating natural results that harmonize beautifully with your other facial features.
Correcting Structural Issues
Rhinoplasty is an effective way to correct structural problems within the nose. When you have structural problems within your nose, it can cause:
- Snoring
- Nasal congestion
- Breathing difficulties
- Changes in voice; for example, hoarseness
There are many reasons for structural problems within the nose, ranging from age-related wear-and-tear to congenital defects to traumatic injury.
During rhinoplasty, Dr. Green can reshape your nasal structure to alleviate such issues. In many cases, rhinoplasty is performed to improve both appearance and function.
Candidates for Rhinoplasty
After a consultation to discuss your needs and goals, Dr. Green may recommend rhinoplasty if you:
- Want to improve your appearance, breathing, or both
- Are in good overall health
- Are a nonsmoker
- Understand what to expect results-wise
- Agree to follow all recovery recommendations
