The Five Things I Hate About Rhinoplasty

These five things are constantly in my mind during every consultation and every surgery. This is where being the only surgeon in the USA whose entire surgical practice is dedicated to Scarless Rhinoplasty allows a superior advantage of finding the perfect delicate balance of meaningful refinement to a nose without drastic uncomfortable change. Natural noses are mandatory in my practice.

1. Unnecessary external cuts and scars (99% of surgeons perform "open" rhinoplasty, inflicting a scar at the base of the nose).
2. Pinched nasal tip (when too much cartilage is removed and/or no support is provided, causing a collapse of the tip).
3. "Ski Slope" Profile (when too much cartilage and bone is removed from the profile, causing a severe scooping of the nose).
4. "Miss Piggy" Nose (when the tip is lifted too much).
5. Worsened or Unimproved Breathing (when nasal breathing and structural function of the septum, turbinates, and nasal valves are not adequately addressed).
