Otoplasty Texas

Rhinoplasty surgery may be for you. While any area of your face can be augmented with implants, the cheekbones, chin and jaw are the most common sites. Rhinoplasty also known as Facial surgery can change the basic shape and balance of your face using carefully shaped implants to build up a receding chin, add prominence to your cheekbones or reshape your jawline.

Rhinoplasty is usually an outpatient procedure performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia. Surgeons use one of two techniques when performing nose surgery. In a closed rhinoplasty, incisions are made within the nostrils. In an open rhinoplasty, the incision is made across the columella, the tissue between the nostrils. With both methods, the surgeon gently lifts the soft tissues covering the nose. He or she sculpts the bone and cartilage to the desired shape. Any additional cartilage needed to augment the nose can often be taken from the septum. If the patient has a deviated septum, the surgeon will adjust the septum and the inner structures of the nose to improve breathing. Then the tissues are re-draped and stitched closed. If the patient desires nostril reshaping, this is done as the final stage of rhinoplasty.
