Nose

The nose is the central, most prominent feature of the face and defines balance and harmony among facial features. When the nose is out of proportion with other facial features or if it doesn't complement the face, it can affect self-image and confidence.

Undesirable characteristics of the nose may be hereditary or the result of an injury or prior surgery. If you are bothered by the shape or size of your nose, then cosmetic surgery of the nose or Rhinoplasty may be right for you.

Subtle improvement can be attained by reshaping the nasal bridge, reducing the shape or width of the nose, reshaping the nasal tip, & adjusting the angle between the nose and upper lip.

Surgery to the nose normally requires an overnight stay at the hospital. Initial healing may include some swelling, bruising and headaches - all that can be carefully controlled with medication. A splint may be placed on the nose and removed during the first week after your surgery, so some downtime should be expected.
