Indications
Patients seek Nasal Surgery for both cosmetic and functional reasons. A large nose, a crooked nose, a hump, wide nostrils, or a heavy nasal tip are just some of the flaws correctable with surgery. Many patients seeking surgery for cosmetic concerns also have problems breathing. Frequently, we see a deviated septum causing breathing difficulties and we can safely correct this at the time of the cosmetic rhinoplasty.

Goals
The goals of surgery are to improve both the appearance and function of the nose.
