What Is Rhinoplasty?
A rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is a surgery that can reshape your nose and bring it into harmony with your other features. A talented rhinoplasty surgeon can also help your nose function better and improve your ability to breathe by correcting internal structural issues. You may be surprised to find that even a few tiny adjustments can make a dramatic difference. During your private consultation, Dr. Lofman will explain your options for the best rhinoplasty in Michigan.
During rhinoplasty, Dr. Lofman can address different nasal components and features that may need attention, including:
- Small bumps or Dorsal hump
- Wide dorsum
- Drooping or bulbous nasal tip
- Under- or over-rotation of the nasal tip
- Uneven nose bridge
- Asymmetrical nostrils
- Wide or long nose
- Nasal obstructions such as a deviated septum
What Are the Benefits of Rhinoplasty?
While rhinoplasty’s cosmetic goal is to align your facial features, this procedure also has practical benefits. By altering your nose’s size, shape, proportions, or internal structure, Dr. Lofman can restore your nasal appearance and function.
Some aspects patients look to address with rhinoplasty are:
- Repairing damage from trauma or injuries
- Correcting breathing obstructions
- Adjusting proportions at either the bridge or nostril
- Addressing visible humps or depressions
- Providing more proportioned facial features
