Procedure Performed by Dr. Sabbagh

The Rhinoplasty Procedure

The plastic surgeon may make incisions on the inside or outside of the nose in inconspicuous areas. The internal structure is then changed by altering the cartilage and the bone. These maneuvers help to reshape the nose into a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.  The septum and nasal structures obstructing breathing are corrected to improve breathing as well as to straighten nasal deviations. There is also the option of revision rhinoplasty which can be performed to correct unsatisfactory results from previous rhinoplasty surgery. 

5-stars-rating-ping ….I love my new nose! Although it took me many years to finally decide to have Rhinoplasty surgery, I now look back and wonder why I didn’t do it a long time ago. The surgery gave me a true confidence in my appearance. The surgery did not make me perfect, a fashion model, or change my life, but it gave me exactly what I was looking for. I now have the ability to go out in public or look in the mirror and not worry about “how my profile looks” or “if people are staring at me now” …You have truly made a difference in my life!
