Dr. Bray's Plastic Surgery Blog

Our senior doctor has over 25 years of experience performing rhinoplasty, or "nose job" procedures. This is exactly the kind of skill level and background that should be your criteria as you explore corrective nose surgery.

Rhinoplasty is a complex surgery that requires a high degree of training—even though the changes are often quite minute. Since every nose and face is entirely unique, the trick is to make a change to the nose that is still completely natural and complementary to the face, but fixes areas of discomfort, such as a hump or overlarge tip. Skill and experience are key.

As you explore your rhinoplasty alternatives, be sure to locate a cosmetic surgeon who has a specialty in rhinoplasty surgery. As with any cosmetic surgery, be certain that your physician is Board Certified in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive surgery. Your physician should also be trained to discuss every aspect of your surgery with you—both in terms of physical and psychological outcomes.

The rest of your facial features will appear altered by your new nose. A less prominent nose can bring out your eyes or lips; many patients are thrilled with this effect, but others need time to adjust. Make sure and speak with Dr. Bray about this before your surgery and it will help with the adjustment period.
