Modern Advances in Rhinoplasty

    /24-7PressRelease/ - GOLDEN, CO, September 01, 2007 - Is your nose too long? Too short? Too bumpy? The beauty of the modern rhinoplasty procedure is that there is so much room for artistic improvement, so much flexibility to achieve a perfectly balanced shape at the hands of your skilled cosmetic surgeon. A few strategic changes in the appearance of you nose can positively affect your entire facial appearance. Your doctor will reshape your nose with the ultimate goals of accentuating positive features, while minimizing features you're not happy with.

Modern advances in rhinoplasty have allowed today's surgeons to choose from a wide range of techniques to give each patient a truly unique result, correcting even the smallest features they are unsatisfied with. In keeping with the parameters of a functional nose, you and your doctor are free to design a nose that adds an aesthetic beauty to your face not possible without cosmetic enhancement.

Today's nose surgeries are more concerned with aesthetics and artistry than those of the past. "Facial harmony" is always the first priority with nose surgery, and your nose surgeon will take all the elements of your face into consideration when planning your nose results. In order to architect your ideal nose, your surgeon can use technology like computer imaging, nasal endoscopy to explore your nasal anatomy, and other methods of internal evaluation.

To decide on the "perfect nose," you can look through magazines, view before and after photos, and discuss specific sizes, shapes, and relative proportions with your surgeon. Think about your profile, and how you'd like to look from the front and sides. Point out specific features of your nose that you are not happy with, and features on others that you find particularly attractive. You cosmetic surgeon should be able to interpret and balance all of this information to create a nose that is uniquely you.

Once a perfect model is designed, your surgeon will decide on the right nose surgery procedure:
· Open Method - An incision is made on the columella between the nostrils
· Closed Method - An incision is made inside the nostrils

During the nose surgery, skin is separated from underlying bone and cartilage, the bone and cartilage is artfully shaped with a combination of surgical skill and advanced tools, and the skin is then draped over the new nose.
