Rhinoplasty in Fort Lauderdale, FLRhinoplasty surgery can be daunting. Changing the center and focal point of the face is not something to be taken lightly. But many people are unhappy with the nose they are born with, making rhinoplasty one of the most common plastic surgery procedures. During rhinoplasty, the cartilage, bone and soft tissues of the nose are sculpted. This technique can correct many common nose shape-related complaints, such as a large tip, a bump on the bridge, an asymmetrical shape or a downturned tip. Patients may also undergo rhinoplasty surgery to fix a number of structural concerns, such as a deviated septum or broken nose.

HOW TO CHOOSE A SURGEON

When considering rhinoplasty, you should do your due diligence about your doctor to make sure you are happy with your new nose. Revision surgery can be costly, invasive, and leave you unhappy.
