Nose Reshaping Procedure

Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping, is the surgical procedure that allows us to change the form or function of your nose. The nose is a central point on the face that plays a major role in how you look to others and a sensory organ does more than help you breath. Essentially the operation is designed to improve the aesthetic shape of the nose but the procedure can also improve its function. 

Your nose is not just a fixture on your face. The nose warms, cleanses and humidifies the air you breathe. Therefore, the surgeon who can change the shape of your nose should also understand the effects on the function of your nose. For example, if you desire to make your nose smaller and more fitting to your face, you want to be sure that your breathing passages remain open.  Our double board certified surgeons at Faces First are experienced at complex nasal airway reconstruction as well as the detailed aesthetic techniques of a facial plastic surgeon.
