RHINOPLASTY IN AGOURA HILLS
RHINOPLASTY IN AGOURA HILLS
Rhinoplasty is performed to improve the appearance and function of the nose. During surgery, excess nasal cartilage and bone can be removed to help minimize a prominent dorsal hump. Conversely, tissue grafting can be performed to add structure to a nose that is too flat. The nasal tip and nostrils can also be refined to create a more balanced and proportionate facial aesthetic.
Rhinoplasty can both enhance your self-confidence and improve your breathing. When performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon such as Dr. Tansavatdi, your results will appear natural, nuanced and elegant, customized to your unique wishes for improvement.
What is rhinoplasty?
For some people, feeling self-conscious about the appearance of their nose significantly impairs their enjoyment of life. They may suffer socially and professionally because of low self-esteem. On top of this, the poor aesthetics of their nose may be accompanied by compromised breathing, which only adds to their distress. Luckily, there is a safe, effective surgical procedure known as rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, that can be performed to correct imperfections in the nasal bridge, tip and nostrils and restore a more balanced, attractive countenance.
What is the difference between closed and open rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty can be performed either through closed surgery, during which the incisions are hidden within the nostrils, or it can be an open procedure where the surgeon creates a small incision at the base of the nostrils, providing unrestricted access to the inner structures of the nose.
In general, closed rhinoplasty is reserved for cases where the changes required are more minor. Dr. Tansavatdi will determine which approach is best for you during your private consultation in Agoura Hills.
