Quality Rhinoplasty Performed in Morristown, Summit, & Livingston New Jersey

A person’s nose has a much greater effect on his or her overall appearance than many of us realize. Being the central feature of the face, the nose has a prominent effect on its overall symmetry, and symmetry is one of the main factors our brain uses to subconsciously measure attractiveness. Correcting a crooked nose or a malformed nasal structure can have dramatic effects on a person’s appearance.

Just as there are many types of noses, there are almost as many approaches to rhinoplasty. Adjustments to size, shape, and angle – these are just some of the changes people often wish they could make to their noses. Dr. Fodero can make your nose larger, smaller, straighter, or smoother; he can improve the bridge, tip, or nostrils.. When it comes to the nose, Dr. Fodero is a skilled artisan. Read on to learn about some of the specific types of rhinoplasty Dr. Fodero performs in Morristown, Summit, and Livingston New Jersey.

Open Rhinoplasty

There are two main types of rhinoplasty, open and closed. Open rhinoplasty at Dr. Fodero’s New Jersey practice is the most common procedures he performs. In the procedure, Dr. Fodero makes a small incision in the columella, the flap of skin between the nostrils on the underside of the nose. Open rhinoplasty at the New Jersey practice allows Dr. Fodero a better view of the nasal structures, and with this technique, he can make a wide variety of corrections, including reshaping and repositioning. Closed rhinoplasty, on the other hand, involves incisions confined to the inside of the nose. Dr. Fodero uses this technique in very straightforward cases in which the patient only wants a bump removed or doesn’t require much adjustment to or reshaping of the tip of the nose. Whether you undergo closed or open rhinoplasty at Dr. Fodero’s New Jersey office, the procedure will be performed with finesse and precision.

Secondary, or Revisional Rhinoplasty

Revisional rhinoplasty, sometimes called secondary rhinoplasty, at Dr. Fodero’s office in New Jersey can correct and reconstruct noses that are still undesirable after previous operations. Surgeons have less leeway in performing subsequent nose jobs than they do with the first, which means that revisional procedures have to be handled with exceptional precision and care by a highly skilled professional. With Dr. Fodero’s dedication to the nose and experience performing the procedure, revisional rhinoplasty at his New Jersey office is the ideal choice for patients seeking to correct a previous operation.

Male Rhinoplasty

Male rhinoplasty requires a unique set of skills because the corrections have to be subtler. The one-size-fits-all button nose factory approach to rhinoplasty can lead to unsatisfactory results in either gender, but is particularly ineffective in male patients. Male rhinoplasty has to be done with care by a doctor who can build a strong, natural looking, masculine nose. Dr. Fodero focuses on creating a nose that perfectly complements your facial features.

Challenging Noses

Certain types of noses do not lend themselves as easily to rhinoplasty as others. The more subtle the correction, the thicker or more delicate your skin, the more difficult the surgeon’s task becomes. Dr. Fodero prides himself on his integrity and gives his patients the most realistic expectations, but his dedication to rhinoplasty also means he can handle more challenging cases. Even if other surgeons have told you that your case is too difficult, contact Dr. Fodero for rhinoplasty in Morristown, Livingston, or Summit. Chances are, he’ll be able to make significant improvement to your nose.

Ethnic Noses

Rhinoplasty on the non-Caucasian nose requires unique set of skills. Black, Asian, Hispanic, and other non-Caucasian patients need a surgeon with experience working on noses similar to theirs. Many of these patients are unhappy with their noses, but worry that rhinoplasty might come at the expense of their cultural identity. Dr. Fodero has extensive experience with patients facing this dilemma, and he has the skill and specialization in rhinoplasty to soften bumps and make hooked noses less harsh without compromising the unique characteristics of a patient’s nose and ethnicity. In short, he can give you an attractive nose that still reflects your heritage.
