Nose Surgery / Rhinoplasty

 

Are you a good candidate?

 

 

 

Almost anyone, who is self-conscious about the way their nose looks, can have something done to either correct the problem or dramatically improve it.

 

There are people, however, that respond less favorably to rhinoplasty than others. Nasal tips with thick, oily skin are more difficult than those with thin skin. This is because thick skin is less likely to show changes in the underlying nose as readily as thin skin. Thick skin is much less capable of adapting to a new shape. Dr, Cruise will evaluate your skin and tell you what you can expect from rhinoplasty. Summarized below is a brief list of issues that can be corrected by rhinoplasty.

 

  • Large dorsal hump.
  • Wide nose out of proportion to the face.
  • Deviated or crooked nose.
  • Wide, flaring nostrils.
  • Bulbous tip.
  • Boxy tip.
  • Irregular contour of nose.
  • Nose that is over or under projected.
  • Nose that is too long or too short.
  • Difficulty breathing caused by airway obstruction within the nose.

Absolutely the best!! I didn't want just anyone operating on the center of my face. I had rhinoplasty done and couldn't be happier with the results. Of course I was very nervous making this big decision but Dr. Cruise and his team were so professional that I knew I was in good hands. He even called me the night after my surgery to make sure I was doing ok. AMAZING. I also appreciated that during the pre-surgery consultations he emphasized creating the right nose to fit my face rather than creating the smallest nose possible. This was so important to me because I didn't want to look like I had plastic surgery. In the end, there was a huge difference in the shape and size of my nose, but it fits in with the rest of my face so well that some of my family and friends didn't even notice. I also loved that Dr. Cruise was able to digitally alter my consultation pictures to give me an idea of what he would do (the actual results look even better!). In addition, the surgical center he uses is top notch. From the anesthesiologist to the nurses, I felt very at ease and trusted them completely. As a nurse myself, I feel I have a good sense for ideal characteristics of a doctor and his staff and they exceeded my expectations. When it comes to your body, I feel you can't settle for "good enough." Make sure it is done right the first time and go see Dr. Cruise!
