Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
Rhinoplasty is the oldest procedure in facial plastic surgery and one of the most popular. The result can be subtle or dramatic depending on the patient's desired effect. It is also the most complex operation in cosmetic surgery. Nasal anatomy and facial structure vary from person to person, and procedures must be individualized for each patient.
There has been a lot of press lately about a “non-surgical” rhinoplasty, which uses fillers such as Juvéderm™ Injectable Gel, Restylane® and Radiesse® that are injected to fill around bumps and camouflage the nose. This might be fine for small areas, but these are temporary fillers. Rhinoplasty is an artistic sculpting of the nose that involves removing and narrowing some areas and enhancing others.
Computer Imaging
Being able to see what your face might look like after rhinoplasty can be very useful. Computer imaging makes this possible. Computer images help both the patient and doctor visualize potential changes in the face prior to surgery. It also helps stimulate dialogue between Dr. Funt and the patient in further understanding the operation. Computer imaging is not a guarantee of results, but a wonderful tool for demonstrating possible enhancements to the nose and face. As a matter of fact, most patients feel their live results are better than the image they once saw.

Chin Implants
Chin implants reshape the chin to help provide a harmonious balance to the facial features. Many times a plastic surgeon may recommend chin enhancement to a patient having nose surgery in order to achieve a more satisfying facial proportion, since the size of the chin may magnify or minimize the perceived size of the nose and vice versa.
