Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty or nose reshaping — Achieve natural results and gain long-awaited confidence

Many people desire a nose that is more balanced with their other facial features. That’s why surgery to reshape the nose (called rhinoplasty), is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures. Dr. Morwood is dedicated to achieving a natural result using surgical techniques appropriate for the individual needs of each patient.

What is rhinoplasty?

Sometimes referred to as a “nose job” or “nose reshaping,” rhinoplasty enhances facial harmony and the proportions of your nose. It can also correct impaired breathing caused by structural defects in the nose.

Rhinoplasty can treat the following:

  • Nose size in relation to facial balance
  • Nose width at the bridge or in the size and position of the nostrils
  • Nose profile with visible humps or depressions on the bridge
  • Nasal tip that is enlarged or bulbous, drooping, upturned, or hooked
  • Nostrils that are large, wide, or upturned
  • Nasal asymmetry

The procedure

Through the chosen incision, Dr. Morwood will be able to access the structures of your nose, such as the cartilage, which gives your nose much of its shape. He will reshape the cartilage and skin to achieve the desired aesthetic results. Finally, your incision will be closed and surgical dressings will be placed over it. A splint may be placed on your nose to help it heal and protect it over the coming days.

Rhinoplasty is performed either using a closed procedure, where incisions are hidden inside the nose or an open procedure, where an incision is made across the columella, the narrow strip of tissue that separates the nostrils. Through these incisions, the skin that covers the nasal bones and cartilage is gently raised, allowing access to reshape the structure of the nose.

An overly large nose may be reduced by removing bone or cartilage. Sometimes surgery of the nose may require the addition of cartilage grafts.

Once the underlying structure of the nose is sculpted to the desired shape, nasal skin and tissue are redraped and incisions are closed.

Correcting a deviated septum

Nose surgery that’s performed to improve an obstructed airway requires careful evaluation of the nasal structure as it relates to airflow and breathing. Correction of a deviated septum, one of the most common causes of breathing impairment, is achieved by adjusting the nasal structure to produce better alignment.

Dr. Morwood is undoubtedly the best! He and his office staff make you feel welcome and relaxed from the first time you meet them! Dr. Morwood is an expertise in his field of work and I have had all the confidence in him to know what is right for me! I have referred several friends and family members to him and they to feel as I do! He is my Dr. but I love calling him my friend!

Good candidates for rhinoplasty

You may be a good candidate for rhinoplasty if:

  • Your facial growth is complete
  • You are physically healthy
  • You don’t smoke
  • You have a positive outlook and realistic goals in mind for the improvement of your appearance

Is it covered by health insurance?

When rhinoplasty is performed to improve breathing function due to an obstructed airway, the procedure — whether performed alone or in conjunction with cosmetic rhinoplasty — may indeed be covered by insurance.

This requires a detailed examination to verify the cause of your breathing impairment, along with prior authorization from your insurer.

Begin with a consultation

The process begins with a detailed, sit-down consultation with Dr. Morwood in his office in Monterey. He will discuss your aesthetic concerns, review the unique characteristics of your face, and then a joint decision will be reached about which aesthetic goals should and can be realistically accomplished.

During your consultation be prepared to discuss:

  • Your surgical goals, with regard to both appearance and breathing
  • Medical conditions, drug allergies, and previous medical treatments
  • Current medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco, and drug use
  • Previous surgeries

Dr. Morwood may also:

  • Evaluate your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors
  • Discuss the options available to you for nose reshaping
  • Examine and measure your face
  • Take photographs
  • Discuss likely outcomes of nose surgery and any risks or potential complications

How much does rhinoplasty cost?

The price of a Rhinoplasty can be impacted by a variety of factors. Rhinoplasty cost is determined based on anesthesia fees, the techniques used, total surgery time, and many other factors.
