Rhinoplasty
Many people have specific complaints about their physical appearance. Your issue could be that you are bothered by the appearance of your nose. You may wish your nose was smaller, less bulbous, better balanced, or more attractive in some other way. You may also struggle with breathing through your nose. Rhinoplasty corrects deformities of the nose to rebalance and refine its appearance. Dr. Grotting’s training in facial plastic surgery emphasized both the aesthetic and functional aspects of rhinoplasty. With his careful surgical approach, rhinoplasty can make your nose look more balanced and attractive and can also improve your nasal breathing.

What Do You Desire?
Balanced Nasal Size
Most people considering rhinoplasty are unhappy with the size of their nose. If it is too large or too small, the nose can create an unbalanced appearance with the rest of your facial features. By improving your nasal size, we are able to create a more natural and harmonious look.
Attractive Nose Shape
Trauma or injury to the nose can result in prominent humps, wide bridges, or a crooked appearance. A misshapen nose can detract from the natural beauty of your face. By sculpting the nose, we are able to achieve a shape that is better suited for your facial features.
More Confidence
As the focal point of the face, the nose can be a source of embarrassment for many people if it has a poor appearance. From a young age, teasing about the appearance of your nose can limit your confidence in your appearance. Creating a nose that looks naturally beautiful helps many people regain their confidence.
Rhinoplasty Options
A closed technique is preferred by most surgeons because all incisions are placed within the nasal passages and it doesn’t result in any visible scarring. Through these incisions, we use special lighting and instruments to readjust the cartilage and bone.
An open technique may be used for your surgery, as it provides a clearer view of the underlying nasal structures. An incision is placed across the columella on the outside of the nose.
Concerns
Dr. Grotting will prepare your procedure by conducting a thorough and detailed one-on-one consultation.
The two of you will go over important information such as your medical history, aesthetic goals, health, and substance or medicine use. Dr. Grotting will examine your nose and evaluate your goals to determine the best way to produce your desired results. He may also use three-dimensional computer imaging to help you visualize your potential results. This consultation will determine your treatment plan and help you prepare for your surgery.
