- Cosmetic Nasal Surgery
-
The nose is the most prominent feature of the face and a major factor in defining balance and harmony among facial features. When the nose is out of proportion with other facial features or the nose does not complement the face, it can affect self-image and confidence. In most cases, the specific characteristics of the nose are a result of heredity; however the appearance of the nose may sometimes be the result of injury or prior surgery.
Cosmetic surgery of the nose, or rhinoplasty, is a procedure to improve the appearance of the nose. Specific features addressed in cosmetic surgery of the nose can be discussed in great detail with Dr. Colony. If you are bothered by the size or shape of your nose, then cosmetic surgery of the nose or rhinoplasty may be right for you. In general, rhinoplasty improves the appearance and proportion of the nose, enhancing facial harmony and self-confidence. Surgery of the nose may also correct impaired breathing caused by structural defects in the nose. When nose surgery is performed to improve breathing function, the cause is most commonly an obstructed airway. This requires a detailed examination by Dr. Colony to verify the cause of your breathing impairment and prior authorization from your health insurer.
