Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is one of the most commonly performed procedures in plastic surgery. When choosing a surgeon, it is important to find one who has the skill and experience in reshaping a patient's nose. Even though it is a commonly performed procedure, rhinoplasty is a very delicate operation as even the slightest adjustment has a significant effect on the patient's facial appearance. Dr. Francis Palmer is a surgeon who has the artistic vision and sound aesthetic judgment to perform a rhinoplasty procedure that has a more natural result. There are many applications for this procedure. Rhinoplasty can be performed to alter nasal size or shape whether it is traumatic or genetically acquired. Unattractive nasal features such as a wide bulbous tip, wide nasal bridge, large dorsal hump, malformed/asymmetric tip, crooked nose, or a deviated septum causing breathing problems are readily correctable through rhinoplasty.

There is a lot of information one needs to know before undergoing rhinoplasty. For example, the surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure and most patients are able to return to their normal routine in about a week. However, they should avoid strenuous activity for two weeks. Within the next few months following surgery, the nose's shape will continue to improve and the final results become more evident. Patients have follow up appointments with Dr. Palmer to have their healing and progress monitored. Contact our office today to learn more about rhinoplasty.
