The Rhinoplasty Procedure

During rhinoplasty, San Francisco, CA plastic surgeon Dr. Mele can reduce the size of an overly large nose, enlarge a small nose, or eliminate abnormalities of misshapen noses. In order to accomplish your desired goals, he may need to remove cartilage and reposition the bone to reshape the nose. By making subtle changes, Dr. Mele can greatly enhance the shape and size of your nose. He will create a natural-looking, more proportionate nose that is in harmony with the other characteristics of the face.

Depending on your condition and needs, additional procedures may be performed with nose surgery, such as facelift surgery (“rhytidectomy”), eyelid surgery (“blepharoplasty”), and/or brow lift surgery (“forehead lift”). During an initial consultation, San Francisco facelift surgeon Dr. Mele will help decide on the procedure(s) that are right for you.
