The nose is the central feature of the face. When its shape feels out of balance, whether due to genetics or trauma, it can draw attention away from your other features. Many patients share that their nose doesn’t reflect how they want to look, or that it distracts from their natural beauty.
Some of the most common cosmetic concerns include:
- A dorsal hump (bump on the bridge of the nose)
- A drooping or wide/bulbous nasal tip
- Nasal asymmetry or crookedness
In some cases, cosmetic concerns may also be accompanied by breathing difficulties caused by internal nasal deformities, such as a deviated septum or enlarged nasal turbinates.
What Rhinoplasty Can Do
Every rhinoplasty is unique, and Dr. Nelson takes a personalized approach to address both appearance and function. His goal is to create results that look natural, enhance facial harmony, and support healthy breathing.
Rhinoplasty can improve a variety of concerns, including:
- Enhancing facial balance by refining the nasal bridge and tip
- Correcting crookedness or asymmetry
- Reducing a prominent hump
- Straightening and supporting nasal structure for improved breathing
- Combining with septoplasty or turbinate reduction if needed
With advanced training in both cosmetic and functional nasal surgery, Dr. Nelson has a deep understanding of the nose’s structure. This expertise allows him to refine appearance while also improving breathing when necessary.
How Rhinoplasty Is Performed
Dr. Nelson performs rhinoplasty using carefully placed incisions:
- Two small incisions inside the nostrils, often connected by a small incision across the columella (the skin between the nostrils).
- These incisions allow the skin to be gently lifted from the underlying bone and cartilage, so Dr. Nelson can reshape the nasal tip, bridge, and supporting structures.
- If needed, procedures such as septoplasty or turbinate reduction are completed during the same surgery to improve breathing.
- Once the refinements are complete, the skin is repositioned and the incisions are closed with precision.
