Enhance Your Facial Features with a Nose Job
Rhinoplasty Procedures San Francisco
One of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures, rhinoplasty effectively reshapes the nose to correct aesthetic or functional imperfections. Nose surgery can dramatically improve your appearance and self-esteem. Specializing in Asian rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty procedures, Dr. Albert Chow, serving the San Francisco Bay Area and surrounding communities, has successfully enhanced the facial profiles of patients from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. If you are unhappy with the size or shape of your nose and would like to explore your rhinoplasty options, please contact Dr. Chow to schedule an expert consultation today.
Rhinoplasty Procedures and Techniques
To balance your facial proportions, Dr. Chow offers a variety of nasal restructuring procedures. Dr. Chow may perform closed rhinoplasty, which involves making structural changes through incisions hidden in the nose, so there is no visible scarring. For more complex treatment plans, closed rhinoplasty may not be an option; in these cases, Dr. Chow uses the open technique, which requires him to lift the skin of the nose away from the bone to obtain greater access to the underlying cartilage and tissue. Dr. Chow can advise which nose reshaping technique is most appropriate for you and your needs during a private consultation.
Some of the most commonly requested rhinoplasty procedures include:
Tip Rhinoplasty – Mostly performed using a closed rhinoplasty technique, this procedure reshapes the tip of the nose to balance facial proportions. It is recommended for patients who have a bulbous tip, droopy tip, or over or under projection.
Bridge Rhinoplasty– One of our most popular surgeries, bridge rhinoplasty, or wide bridge plastic surgery, is used to correct the mid-section of the nose. Patients often request bridge rhinoplasty to reduce the width of their nasal bridge, remove a hump, or repair a low bridge.
Reshape Nostrils– To achieve better shape or thickness, nostril rhinoplasty involves altering or removing tissue from the nostrils. This procedure is used to correct asymmetrical nostrils, nostrils that are too large or too narrow, or misshapen nostrils.
To find out which rhinoplasty technique is best for you, contact the practice of Dr. Albert Chow, serving San Francisco and surrounding areas, to explore your rhinoplasty options.
Rhinoplasty Specialties
Asian Rhinoplasty – Some patients of Asian descent are unhappy with certain ethnic features of their nose, like a flat bridge or wide nostrils; in these cases, Dr. Chow can correct aesthetic flaws without compromising the patient’s ethnic identity. With thorough knowledge of all aspects of this procedure, Dr. Chow provides patients with the most up-to-date resources about the costs, benefits and risks of Asian rhinoplasty.
Reconstructive Rhinoplasty – If you have recently been injured and suffered trauma to your nose, reconstructive surgery can restore your nose, increase facial support, and prevent obstruction of the nasal passage. Experienced with the most extensive reconstructive procedures, Dr. Chow can safely and expertly rebuild your nose to its desired shape and function.
Revision Rhinoplasty – Some patients may not be happy with the results of a previous nose job – maybe the surgeon performed poor work, or perhaps the patient had misguided expectations. Revision rhinoplasty, also known as secondary rhinoplasty, corrects these problems. Revision rhinoplasty surgery can address aesthetic issues or correct breathing difficulties that may stem from surgical errors. Highly skilled in complex revision surgery techniques, Dr. Chow can successfully fix a collapsed nose, correct asymmetry of the nasal tip, and remove a nasal implant.
