Rhinoplasty Murrieta, Nose Procedures

You may be a candidate for nose reshaping (rhinoplasty) if you have a nose that is cosmetically unattractive or does not "fit" with other facial features. Rhinoplasty may also be indicated for abnormal appearance of the nose as a result of birth defects, injury, or disease. Nose reshaping is intended to produce a more attractive nasal shape and/or a nose in better proportion to other facial features.

Rhinoplasty is done on an outpatient basis under sedation, and local or general anesthesia.

• STANDARD RHINOPLASTY: Incisions are made inside the nostrils. The nasal bones, cartilage, and soft tissues are reshaped to improve the external contour.
• OPEN RHINOPLASTY: Frequently used for difficult or larger noses. Involves one external incision across the columella (strut between the nostrils). Bones, cartilage, and soft tissues are reshaped under direct vision.
• TIP-PLASTY: If only the nasal tip is abnormal, it may be corrected with either a standard or external (open) approach.

You may be a candidate for correction of deviated nasal septum (septoplasty) if you have nasal obstruction (difficulty breathing) because of developmental or post injury crookedness of the nasal septum (divider between the two sides of the nose) The intended result of septoplasty is a reduction of nasal obstruction and the ability to breath better.

This procedure is done on an outpatient basis under local or general anesthesia. The crooked cartilage is partially removed, straightened or both.

The specific risks and the suitability of neck contouring plastic surgery for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk. Minor complications that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally. Major complications are rare.
