No doubt the nose is one of the face's most prominent features and the one a good number of men and women would most like to change. If you are unhappy with your nose, you can transform it with nasal surgery called rhinoplasty. If breathing is a problem, rhinoplasty can be combined with septoplasty to correct the interior chambers of your nose to effectively restore the capacity to breathe freely. So whether you want to change your profile or breathe more easily, nasal surgery's modern techniques permit you to have safe and dramatic results.

 

As a rule, patients are interested in changing the profile, the width, the tip, or the nostrils' shape. All of these can be tended to with rhinoplasty. In addition to taking out undesirable bumps, Dr. Karlin can make the nose more diminutive or larger, more narrow, shorter, or longer, or more symmetrical to your face. The goal is to give you a natural-looking nose that is well suited to your face and more aesthetically pleasing.

Most commonly the surgery is performed through tiny incisions made just inside the nostrils. Operating through these incisions, Dr. Karlin can reshape and redefine the nose by sculpting the bones and cartilage -- perhaps reducing some areas while building up others with your own cartilage and bones or other approved materials. A personal consultation with Dr. Karlin will help determine which technique will be best for you, depending on your natural structure and desired result.
