Walnut Creek Rhinoplasty
Nose surgery is a procedure to reshape the nose in order to create a more pleasing look and, sometimes, to correct breathing problems. With approximately 400,000 operations performed each year, rhinoplasty is the most popular cosmetic procedure in the United States. The results of rhinoplsty are unique to each individual, and depend upon such factors as skin condition and thickness, nasal and facial structure, genetic contributions, and age. Traditionally, a "nose job" was performed only to correct major problems. However, recent surgical innovations allow for individuals to benefit from more moderate improvements from the procedure as well. Rhinoplasty can:

• Bring a better proportion to the nose and facial features
• Reduce the size of the nose that is too large or too wide
• Correct an overly arched nose
• Re-form a crooked or elongated nose tip
• Restore the nose if damaged from an accident or sports injury
• Help with breathing problems by rebuilding the nasal passage
• Treat nasal deformities caused at birth
