Today's nose is a natural one.
Each patient who undergoes nasal surgery has the surgery tailored to
achieve the right nose for each individual. Each nose should fit
each individual's face. One important aspect of nasal surgery that
should not be overlooked is that the nose is not only an image of
beauty, but a functioning organ as well.
Dr. Karen will strive to
achieve both a beautiful cosmetic result as well as a perfectly
functioning nose.
Dually trained in Facial Plastic
Surgery and Otolaryngology (ENT),
Dr. Karen has the expertise needed
to successfully treat all nasal problems, Cosmetic and Functional.
Functional repairs are usually covered by insurance. However, if a
cosmetic change were also desired, the patient would have to pay for
that part of the surgery.
The nose is composed of skin, bone
and cartilage, as well as an inner lining. To achieve the ultimate
result, bone and cartilage can be altered, removed, rotated or
replaced to reshape the nose according to what each patient wants.
The inner tissues will also be rearranged to improve the breathing
functions of the nose, if that is needed.
