nose reshaping (rhinoplasty)
The nose is a central feature of the face. Prominent humps, crooked or excessively
large noses and noses with bulbous or bulky tips can negatively affect the
appearance of an otherwise attractive face. Disproportionate nasal size and
abnormal nasal shape can gradually develop with age or can result from trauma
at birth or later in life.
Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) effectively, predictably
and safely corrects both the appearance and functional abnormalities of the
nose. Following Rhinoplasty, the desired result is a natural appearance with
the nose being in balance with the other facial features. In addition to
cosmetic considerations, obstruction of the nasal passages can result from
structural abnormalities both on the outside and on the inside of the nose.
This can lead to multiple problems including decreased exercise tolerance
and sense of smell, poor sleep, noisy breathing and chronic bad breath (so-called "functional" problems).
As a board certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Denton
has extensive experience and expertise in rhinoplasty surgery. During your
consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your treatment options
with Dr. Denton in a confidential and unhurried setting. Computer imaging
will be performed to demonstrate to you the expected result following your
rhinoplasty procedure. Surgery is performed in Dr. Denton’s fully accredited
private operating facility in Vancouver, British Columbia or at the Surgical
Day Care Center of Vancouver General Hospital.
