Rhinoplasty changes the size, shape or angle of the nose. It can smooth a bump, refine the tip, narrow the nostrils or straighten a crooked nose, and can improve breathing at the same time.
The nose sits at the center of the face, so small changes affect overall balance. Many patients want a change that looks natural and suits their features rather than a different nose.
Dr. Sood reshapes the bone and cartilage through incisions inside the nose, sometimes with a small incision across the skin between the nostrils. The approach depends on the changes you want.
If you also have trouble breathing through your nose, septoplasty can be done at the same time.
You may be a good candidate if your face has finished growing and you would like a change in the size or shape of your nose.
If your question is not here, bring it to consultation. Nothing is too small to ask.
Ask Dr. SoodUsually once facial growth is complete, around 15 to 17.
Yes. Septoplasty can be combined to open the airway.
Most swelling fades in a few weeks. The final shape can take up to a year.
Most incisions are inside the nose. If a small outside incision is needed, it sits under the tip and fades well.
Yes. The goal is a nose that fits your face, not a set look.
