Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)

Are You a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty Procedure?

Almost anyone who is self-conscious about the way their nose looks can have something done to either correct the problem or dramatically improve it.

There are people, however, that respond less favorably to rhinoplasty than others. Nasal tips with thick, oily skin are more difficult than those with thin skin. This is because thick skin is less likely to show changes in the underlying nose as readily as thin skin. Thick skin is much less capable of adapting to a new shape. Dr, Cruise will evaluate your skin and tell you what you can expect from a rhinoplasty. Summarized below is a brief list of issues that can be corrected by rhinoplasty.

Large dorsal hump.
Wide nose out of proportion to the face.
Deviated or crooked nose.
Wide, flaring nostrils.
Bulbous tip.
Boxy tip.
Irregular contour of nose.
Nose that is over- or under-projected.
Nose that is too long or too short.
Difficulty breathing caused by airway obstruction within the nose.
