Rhinoplasty is one of my favorite cosmetic surgery procedures. It is a very satisfying procedure because the results are quite dramatic and the effect it has on my patients is profound. There is no other procedure in plastic surgery that requires such balance between artistic finesse and technical ability. During your consultation, we will take digital photographs of your face and nose from multiple directions. I will examine your nose so you can show me exactly what it is that bothers you. At this point, I will digitally alter the pictures of your nose to demonstrate what you will likely achieve by having rhinoplasty. This is a very powerful tool as it helps me determine exactly what you are looking to achieve. No result can be guaranteed but I can tell you with great certainty that it will be very close if not right on.
