Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery) in the Los Angeles and Beverly Hills Areas
The nose is the most noticeable feature on your face, and when you are not happy with it, it can alter your perception of yourself and hinder your confidence. Cosmetic nose surgery, or rhinoplasty, is a procedure available at Dr. Harrison H. Lee's Beverly Hills practice serving the greater Los Angeles area. Dr. Lee, an expert in facial plastic surgery, can create a more balanced look by changing the size and shape of your nose to bring out the beauty and harmony of your other facial features.
Rhinoplasty Candidates
Every year, half a million people who are interested in improving the appearance of their noses consider consulting with a facial plastic surgeon for rhinoplasty. Some are unhappy with the noses they were born with, and some with the way aging has changed their nose. For others, an injury may have distorted the nose, or the goal may be improved breathing. But one thing is clear—nothing has a greater impact on how a person’s face looks than the size and shape of the nose. Because the nose is the most defining characteristic of the face, a slight alteration can greatly improve your appearance. Fortunately, many aesthetic and functional imperfections can be corrected with nose surgery, or rhinoplasty, at our Beverly Hills and Los Angeles-area practice.
Rhinoplasty Procedure
Regardless of your reason for choosing rhinoplasty surgery, your choice of a qualified facial plastic surgeon is of paramount importance. When you come to Dr. Lee for rhinoplasty, he will examine the structure of your nose, both externally and internally, and review with you what he believes can be done to improve to address your concerns. He will review with you the surgical techniques he believes would be most appropriate to achieve those results. Dr. Lee will also discuss factors that may influence the outcome of the surgery, such as skin type, ethnic background, age, and degree of function of nasal structures. This versatile procedure can be completed in two ways: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. In open rhinoplasty, an incision is made in the cartilage that separates the nostrils in order to reach the bone and manipulate the upper nasal tissues. In closed rhinoplasty, this cartilage remains in place, and the procedure is performed entirely through the nostrils. For some patients, Dr. Lee may also place a nasal implant to achieve the desired result.
