Changing the appearance of your nose is an intricate and delicate procedure, but it can help redefine your facial appearance.

Advanced Techniques in Rhinoplasty
When determining the best shape for a nose, it is important to take the entire facial structure into consideration. You want a nose that is still uniquely yours while removing features that cause it to detract from your overall appearance. Dr. Ransom uses both closed and open surgical techniques in our rhinoplasty procedures, choosing the best method based on the individual patient. Rhinoplasty can address issues that cause aesthetic or functional issues, including:
- Humps or depressions on the nasal bridge
- Nasal tips that are bulbous, boxy, droopy, or hooked
- Oversized noses
- Wide or upturned nostrils
- Crooked or non-symmetrical noses
- Sinus issues, breathing problems, or snoring
- Rhinoplasty revisions

He will help to determine the best solution to give you the nose that improves your appearance and looks natural with your existing features.
