Client Testimonial

I had been hesitant to undergo rhinoplasty because I didn't want a cookie cutter nose; I wanted a pretty nose that would look right on my face. Dr. Khosh listened to my concerns and showed me the possible outcome on the computer. I love my new nose and could not be happier with the results.

The ethnicity of each surgical candidate is important in planning and executing a rhinoplasty.

Dr. Khosh takes these considerations into account when evaluating patients for rhinoplasty.

FAQS

Can the bridge of my nose be built up?
Dorsal nasal augmentation is a frequently requested by Asian and Latino patients. The nose can be built up through placement of implants or grafts. Implants such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with brand names such as Gortex, and Medpore work very well. Cartilage implants from the nasal septum, ear cartilage, or rib cartilage constitutes other options for augmentation materials.
My nasal tip is too close to my face; can the tip of my nasal tip be advanced?
The technical term for this procedure is increasing tip projection. In ethnic rhinoplasty this maneuver involves placement of cartilage implants in the nasal tip. Cartilage grafts in this area not only advance the tip; they can also add definition and refinement to the nasal tip.
My nose is too wide in the nostril region, especially when I smile. Can my nostrils be narrowed?
Nostril narrowing is routinely done during rhinoplasty. In order for the results to be natural, incision placements need to be precise and the sutures need to be perfectly placed.
I have thick nasal skin. What impact does my skin quality have on my rhinoplasty results?
In rhinoplasty, the cartilage and bony framework of the nose is altered. These changes need to become visible through the skin. In thick-skinned patients, maneuvers such as cartilage grafting may be needed to add definition to the appearance of the nose. Thick skin has the advantage of allowing placement of grafts or implants without the fear of an implant outline becoming visible on the nose.
