Many patients struggling with nasal imperfections such as asymmetry, large nostrils, or a displeasing bump feel as though their nose appears unflattering. Rhinoplasty, also known as nose surgery, addresses these issues by improving the size and shape of the nose to create a balanced and attractive appearance.
Rhinoplasty commonly known as a ’nose job’, is a popular procedure used for changing the shape or size of the nose to both aesthetically enhance it and restore its functions. Patients who are unhappy with the way their nose looks wish to have rhinoplasty to improve their overall appearance. As the central feature of the face, how it looks can affect your confidence, therefore making it one of the most common procedures performed by our surgeons.
In addition to improving your appearance it can also be performed to improve function by correcting breathing problems caused by a deviated septum.

Closed rhinoplasty involves making a tiny cut inside the nose for minor reshaping whereas in open rhinoplasty the incision is made across the columella (the skin and cartilage bridge in between the nostrils).
Our highly skilled surgeons have extensive experience in both of these techniques and they can modify the shape and size of your nose to achieve your desired look for a more confident you.
One of the most common problems that people experience with their nasal structure is the prevalence of bumps or humps on the nasal bridge. These conditions impact the softness of the nose, which results in a less harmonious and balanced facial appearance. Rhinoplasty can create softer edges by removing the cartilage and bone that causes the misshaped structure.
It is also common for the angle of the nasal tip to project too far upward or downward on the face. This can create a hook-like appearance that severely damages your facial profile. By altering the tissue on the tip of the nose, Dr. Ceber can create a new side profile that is not impacted by an overly projected nasal tip.
Often, people come in for rhinoplasty surgery because of the shape or size of their nostrils. Whether patients would like to open their nostrils for a wider appearance or close up overly large nostrils, rhinoplasty can help bridge the gap between the appearance you want and the appearance you currently have.
Patients receiving a rhinoplasty treatment require either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.
There are two popular techniques for rhinoplasty. Either the work is done inside the nose (closed rhinoplasty), or a small incision is made at the nose’s base, between the nostrils (open rhinoplasty).
Through these incisions, your rhinoplasty surgeon will adjust the bone, cartilage, and skin. Depending on your nasal concern, bone and cartilage may be shaved down, or grafts (from the septum, ear, or rib) may be added.
For small changes to your nose, the surgeon may opt for cartilage taken from your septum or ear. More significant changes may require the surgeon to use cartilage from your rib or other parts of your body.
After the changes are made, the incisions are closed.
If you have a bent or crooked (deviated) septum, the surgeon can straighten it to improve breathing.
