• Cosmetic rhinoplasty. - This type of rhinoplasty involves reshaping the nose to enhance its appearance. This may involve altering the size of the nose, removing a hump, making the tip smaller or altering the size and/or shape of the nostrils. Each procedure is highly individualized according to your anatomy and aesthetic goals, and Dr. Garcia’s evaluation. Teens who desire cosmetic rhinoplasty are advised to wait until they have fully matured physically before undergoing surgery, which is typically around age 17 for girls, 18 for boys.
• Repair of nasal trauma. - This type of surgery can involve correction of abnormalities of the nose caused by trauma or birth defects, as well as restore normal breathing. Many of the same techniques utilized in cosmetic rhinoplasty are also applied to correction of nasal and septal injuries.
• Correct Breathing. - In some cases, nasal surgery may be performed to correct breathing. This may involve simply straightening the septum, or the wall of cartilage inside the nose that separates the two nostrils and their airways, or it may require building up the structure and support of the nose to improve airflow. Many health insurance carriers cover medically indicated functional nasal surgery.
