The shape and size of a nose has a dramatic effect on the face, so it’s no surprise that so many people look to cosmetic surgery of the nose to improve their appearance.
A successful nasal surgery to shape the nose (rhinoplasty) starts with a person’s own perceptions: as your surgeon, first I listen to learn what bothers you.
Next is integrating your concerns with a sense of aesthetics and facial balance: the nose has to fit the face. Proportions of different parts of the nose (the tip, the nostrils, the profile, the bridge, etc.) are as important as the proportion of the nose to the face.
Of course, understanding what is achievable with a Denver rhinoplasty surgery is necessary, and it’s my job to communicate that. Shaping the nose in surgery requires reshaping the bone and cartilage. Equally important is understanding how the skin of the nose will drape over the newly shaped bone and cartilage. Thinner skin will show fine details, while thicker skin will allow lesser refinements.
Computer imaging using your photograph can be a great planning and communication tool. In our consultation, I’ll integrate your goals with my artistic sense and surgical knowledge to provide for your approval a computer image that I think is realistic and achievable. I’ll invite you to comment and we can modify the image, if I think I can achieve those changes in nose reshaping surgery.
If structural changes are needed to improve the airway, we’ll incorporate those into our plan: form and function
Lastly, I will use my abilities to give you the results you seek with the nuances that give you a natural appearance. Choose me as your board-certified Denver plastic surgeon.
