Understanding Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a "nose job," is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose to improve its appearance and often its function. The goal of rhinoplasty is to create a nose that complements your facial features while addressing any structural issues that may affect breathing.
The structures of the nose can be reshaped through careful surgical techniques, allowing Dr. Rawnsley to create a nose that looks natural and functions properly.
What Rhinoplasty Can Address
- Size of the nose in relation to facial balance
- Width of the nose at the bridge
- Profile issues such as humps or depressions
- Nasal tip that is enlarged, drooping, or upturned
- Nostrils that are large, wide, or upturned
- Asymmetry or deviation in the nose
