It is the profile you have always wanted.

We can look in the mirror and evaluate our features individually and also notice how they work together to create a beautiful face. The procedure to improve facial appearance by trimming and removing bone and cartilage from the nose is called Rhinoplasty. During your consultation with Dr. Beltran, you will learn what your preference of a well-proportioned nose is, and how your nose can be reshaped to enhance your face.

The Rhinoplasty procedure is completed on an outpatient basis. It involves making incisions inside your nose thus eliminating scarring. Any external incision is made across the base in the natural contours of your skin making any slight scars inconspicuous. After surgery, your nose may have internal packing, an external dressing, and a splint to keep the bone and cartilage in place. You may expect bruising and swelling of the nose membranes to occur and peak during the third day following surgery.  As moderate discomfort is common, rest is recommended for the first 24 hours afterward. If packing is necessary, Dr. Beltran will remove it two days after surgery. The splint is removed in five to seven days. While improvement in shape and profile will be noticeable within the first few weeks, even more dramatic improvement occurs within two to six months. Dr. Beltran will put forth his best efforts to achieve the best results for each patient that are most aesthetically pleasing, long lasting, and most natural.
