We handle a wide range of cases, from first-time rhinoplasty to complex procedures involving severe nasal trauma, cancer resections, “botched” cosmetic surgeries i.e. prior surgery, and major breathing issues.
We believe the nose is one of the most defining features of the face. When ideally shaped, it highlights your natural beauty and promotes aesthetic harmony. However, cosmetic imperfections like a dorsal hump, a bulbous or drooping nasal tip, or a crooked nasal bridge can disrupt this balance.
Rhinoplasty is widely considered one of the most challenging cosmetic surgery procedures. It is crucial to work with an experienced surgeon who specializes in natural-looking results. At Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery, we ensure that your rhinoplasty enhances both the function and appearance of your nose.
In an open rhinoplasty, the surgeon makes a small incision on the columella, the tissue between the nostrils, and additional incisions inside the nostrils. This approach allows the surgeon to lift the skin off the nasal structure, providing a clear view of the nasal anatomy. Open rhinoplasty offers greater precision and visualization, making it ideal for complex cases, such as significant reshaping or revision surgeries.
In a closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made within the nostrils, leaving no visible external scars. This technique is less invasive and typically involves a shorter recovery time compared to open rhinoplasty. However, because the surgeon has limited visibility and access to the nasal structure, it is generally used for less complex procedures, where minor adjustments are needed. Your surgeon will help you decide which surgery is right for you.
Revision rhinoplasty is a delicate procedure to correct issues from a previous nose surgery. It requires high-level expertise, vision, and artistry. Problems may arise from outdated techniques or subpar surgeons lacking facial specialization. Patients often seek revision rhinoplasty with understandable apprehension, as they have already undergone a complex procedure with unsatisfactory results.
Rib graft rhinoplasty involves using cartilage from the patient’s rib to reshape or rebuild the nose. This type of cartilage is similar to septal cartilage and is stronger and provides better structural support compared to nasal or ear cartilage. It is commonly used for cases with a severely deviated septum, collapsed nasal tip, or other structural issues. The main benefit of rib graft rhinoplasty is its durability. Rib cartilage is strong, making it ideal for nose reconstruction where structure needs to be restored. Additionally, since the cartilage is from the patient’s own body, there’s no risk of rejection or allergic reaction.
