Rhinoplasty with Dr. Weeter in Louisville, Kentucky
Rhinoplasty, Rhinoseptoplasty (sometimes called a septorhinoplasty), and Septoplasty are various nasal surgical procedures that are done to improve the appearance of the nose and/or the ability to breathe through the nose. Nasal deformities may be present at birth or may develop with growth and aging. Traumatic injuries, such as a broken nose, or changes from previous surgeries may result in significant deformity that can be reconstructed. Patients may choose the benefits of cosmetic improvement or functional improvement in the nasal airway, or a combination of both.
Nasal aesthetics are central to how we appreciate the attractiveness of the face. The balance of elements of the nose from any point of view affects not only the attractiveness of the nose, but also the overall balance and aesthetics of the entire face. Understanding nasal aesthetics and the interdependence with the rest of the face is as important as the technical skill and experience required to perform this elegant and complex operation. Rhinoplasty is generally considered among the most difficult and challenging procedures in plastic surgery because small changes can have important consequences in the appearance or airway function.
