Rhinoplasty, Nose Surgery & Revision Nose Surgery Gallery

The nose is a very important central feature of the face. In both front and profile views, nasal characteristics affect the overall balance and aesthetic appeal of the entire face.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most exacting procedures in plastic surgery because very small changes can significantly alter the appearance. Careful evaluation, planning, and surgical precision are critically important. Overly operated noses appear unattractive and unnatural.

To preserve your individuality and maintain the uniqueness of your nose, Dr. David Metzner will spend a lot of time with you discussing your desires and explaining how the changes you desire will affect other features of your nose and face. By changing only the negative features and carefully preserving your positive characteristics, your nose will blend more aesthetically with your face and not appear overly operated. Dr. David Metzner will show you Rhinoplasty, Nose Surgery and other cosmetic and plastic surgery photos and images. He will use computer imaging to help you visualize your nose and other facial features, and as an aid in surgical planning.

In general, features of the nose should blend in a pleasing fashion with other facial structures. Overly prominent regions of the nose such as a large hump or an excessively round or bulbous tip, detract from a pleasing balance and can be improved by rhinoplasty.

Difficulty breathing may be caused by deformities of the nasal septum or other structures. Nasal septal deviation may occur during nasal growth or from trauma to the nose. Internal nasal surgery, if needed, can be combined with surgery of the external nose, or performed independently to improve airway function as well as appearance.

The degree of correction achievable in a person’s nose depends to some extent on the characteristics of the skin and cartilage of the nose. For example, when the skin is extremely thick or oily, the degree of definition that can be achieved in areas such as the nasal tip may be limited. Since many nasal structures are vital to overall support and function of the nose, changes must be made carefully, and in some cases may have to be limited in order to preserve support and nasal function.
