What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is the surgery of the nose. The goal of well-done rhinoplasty is to correct an external deformity to create harmony with existing facial features. Following rhinoplasty, the nose should appear natural both when animating and in repose. It has often been said that well-done nasal surgery is seen in the eyes of the patient. As the spatial relationship between the eyes and the nose is interrelated, altering the nose has a profound effect on the appearance of the eyes. Each person and their facial features are unique; therefore, each procedure is individualized to create balance with the patient’s facial features.
The surgical objectives are to create a nose that not only looks good but functions well. Nasal airway compromise can result from mechanical obstruction of the septum but can also result from nasal allergies. Nasal septal reconstruction addresses the mechanical component of nasal airway compromise. As one of approximately 200 surgeons in the country certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery as well as the American Board of Otolaryngology (ENT), Dr. Hewell has the advanced skills and experience to correct complex nasal deformities including severe airway compromise.
