Nose Surgery or Rhinoplasty

Nose reshaping, or rhinoplasty, can produce a more pleasing shape to the nose. This can be achieved by reducing or increasing the size of the nose. Other techniques utilized to achieve this result include narrowing the base, smoothing the profile and sculpting the contours of the cartilaginous tip. The procedure may be performed using either a "closed" (endonasal) or "open" technique depending on the problems that exist.

The procedure may be performed in conjunction with a septoplasty if there is significant septal deviation causing nasal obstruction making breathing difficult.

The procedure may be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia in an outpatient setting.
