Rhinoplasty
A nose job is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the world. It frequently sits at the top of the list of most requested plastic surgery operations.
The main purpose of a nose job is to have more of a facial balance. It is a delicate operation and should only be performed by a qualified physician. One who understands facial anatomy and has extensive experience with rhinoplasty.
An experienced surgeon, like Dr. Bailey, can fix all sorts of problems. Common problems people like to have fixed are the length of the nose, nostrils that are too wide, a tip that is too prominent or a bump on the bridge. If your problem is small to medium, a nonsurgical correction might be a suitable solution for you.
Nonsurgical nose jobs can be accomplished by injecting a dermal filler into the nose. A bump on the bridge or an undefined tip can be fixed quite easily with this method. But, if length or width are your concerns, surgery may be your only option. During your preliminary consultation with Dr. Bailey, you will get all of the information you need to decide which procedure is more appropriate for you.
