Candidates for
rhinoplasty surgery in Marin County are patients whose noses
are cosmetically unattractive or do not ‘fit’ with other facial features.
This is a surgical procedure that is done to improve the appearance
of the nose and/or the ability to breathe through the nose. Rhinoplasty
surgery in Marin County, therefore, may be considered cosmetic, functional,
or for some patients both. Nasal deformities may be present at birth
or may develop with aging and growth.
Patients often request removal of a "hump" on the bridge of the nose,
refinement of a round nasal tip or elevation of a drooping tip. Noses
that are crooked, too wide, long, pointy or flat may be improved. Realistically,
there are limitations in achieving the final goal and the ultimate outcome
will vary from patient to patient. Frequently, the nasal septum is deviated
and needs to be corrected. A crooked nose may worsen this disorder and
therefore, require correction at the same time. To view before
