RHINOPLASTY
If you are thinking of undergoing a nasal surgery, you are not alone.
The process of reshaping the nose, referred to as rhinoplasty, is one of
the most popular facial plastic surgery procedures today, with around
half a million people each year seeking consultation regarding having
one. Those considering the procedure should speak with a qualified
surgeon to learn the details about what to expect and how to set
realistic goals. Dr. Halaas places an emphasis on helping patients
achieve a natural look that is fit for them, rather than using a "cookie
cutter" approach that many others use.
During the procedure, the nose is accessed through small incisions that
are mainly made inside the nose so they will not leave visible scars.
After the incisions, the new structure is made by removing, rearranging
or adding to the underlying bone and cartilage. Recovery time after the
surgery is about a week.
Undergoing rhinoplasty, or any surgical procedure, is a very personal
decision. It's also one that calls for a highly skilled surgeon. Dr.
Halaas is experienced at helping nasal surgery patients meet their goals
and fulfill their dreams of being more comfortable and confident. She
cares about your surgery being successful every bit as much as you do.
