Nose Reshaping 101

You May Have A More Balanced & Proportional Nose with Rhinoplasty Surgery


A nose-reshaping operation or rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that can help define and reshape your nose. It is among one of the most common facial cosmetic surgeries performed for those looking to create a more balanced and proportional nose. Although a rhinoplasty may also be performed to help treat breathing impairments or to correct nasal airway issues, Dr. Shirley Madhere performs cosmetic rhinoplasty to help improve the nasal shape and overall aesthetics of the nose in harmony with the rest of the face.

A rhinoplasty may improve the shape of your nose, remove a nose hump, and refine its overall appearance, allowing for a better fit and a greater balance of your nose on your face.

How rhinoplasty is performed:
A rhinoplasty is performed in an operating room under the care of an anesthesiologist who will help to protect and maintain the essential airway. The surgeon will also administer local anesthesia. Under general anesthesia, you will sleep throughout the procedure. During the procedure, your surgeon will make make internal and possibly external incisions to gain access to the underlying tissues. The surgeon will reshape the cartilage and possibly the nasal bones to help achieve a more aesthetic and balanced nasal shape.
