:: Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty) ::
Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape, narrow the nostril span, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a defect or injury, or help relieve breathing problems.
Why come to Dr. Korman for rhinoplasty in on the San Francisco Peninsula, Palo Alto, San Jose and Monterey?
Dr. Korman has been in practice for over 15 years and has a keen interest in rhinoplasty. Surgery to improve the shape of the nose takes careful planning and Dr. Korman uses state-of-the-art computer imaging to assist you in visualizing what your nose will look like after nose reshaping surgery. Rhinoplasty surgery can remove an unwanted hump, make the nose shorter, narrower or larger depending on the patient. Dr. Korman's experience with clay sculpture helps him to make the nose fit the face. Realistic expectations and careful planning before surgery is very important to ensure a successful surgical result. It is helpful for the patient to have an idea of what bothers him or her about their nose as that will help focus and convey that to Dr. Korman. A splint is usually placed and is removed after one week.
