Corrective and Cosmetic Nose Surgery

Corrective surgery for the nose is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgeries. My goal in performing such a surgery is to achieve the most beautiful "look" for the nose while preserving and improving its important natural functions. The nose can be made smaller, larger or straighter. The tip of the nose can be reshaped and the size of the nostrils can be surgically changed to improve appearance.

My goal as your surgeon for a corrective nose operation is to provide you with a personal, individually developed concept that fits your need for an attractive, natural-looking nose that fits well with your own individual facial proportions. An "artificial" appearance to the nose or a nose that gives the impression of a mass produced, "one nose fits all" look is to be avoided.

Nasal surgery can correct a deviated septum and reduce the overall size of the tissues surrounding the nostrils at the same time. The tip of the nose can be refined and made more or less prominent, and even raised or lowered during your rhinoplasty surgery. The elimination of a "hooked" nose or an improved shape to the bridge of the nose can change your entire profile. In cases where a receding chin mars the appearance of the profile, a chin correction can often be performed at the same time. A permanent improvement in the profile can be achieved through bringing the chin forward or building it up with an implantation, while a straightening or reduction of the nose is being done. Operations performed on the nose are technically demanding, requiring considerable skill and training. Only a highly trained and experienced surgeon should perform a rhinoplasty operation.

Obtain counselling and treatment from a recognized authority in this kind of surgery. Let us inform you about the possibilities of a personal nose surgery complete with viewing "before and after" photographs of my patients and, if desired, a computer simulation in selected cases.
