Whether it be as the result of an accident or due to inheritance, we are sometimes unhappy with the shape of our nose. A rhinoplasty, or nasal surgery, provides a safe and permanent way to change that shape. Using the newest techniques, nasal surgery provides the opportunity to produce a natural appearing nose which is refined and balanced.

In many patients, a deviation of the midline, called the septum, of the nose is present causing the sensation of stuffiness. Frequently the stuffiness is worse with mild allergies or a cold and can be the cause of sinus headaches. If this is your problem, a separate procedure, performed separately or at the same time as a rhinoplasty, can generally eliminate this obstruction. This procedure is called a septoplasty. Sometimes other structures in the nose, such as enlarged turbinates or polyps, may contribute to the obstruction. If this is the case they can be dealt with surgically.
