Rhinoplasty (nose surgery) is a procedure that has been around for centuries. It continues to be one of the most popular procedures we do at Shumway Cosmetic Surgery.

Otoplasty refers to cosmetic surgery procedures for correcting deformities or disfiguring injuries to the outer ear. This is the only type of plastic surgery that’s done more often on children than adults, but it can be performed on people of all ages. Prominent or protruding ears commonly run in families — there is definitely an inherited tendency for this condition, although it cannot be predicted for certain whether or not a child will be born with it. There are many reasons for otoplasty: to correct the appearance of protruding or prominent ears. This procedure is known as setback or pinback otoplasty. to correct major disparities in the size or shape of the ears. to repair or reconstruct the auricle after traumatic injuries or cancer surgery. Otoplasty is not generally done to correct hearing difficulties related to the structure of the middle and inner ear.

The term rhinoplasty means, “nose molding” or “nose forming.” Also known in more colloquial terms as a “nose job” it refers to a plastic surgery procedure in which the structure of the nose is changed. The change can be made by adding or removing bone or cartilage; grafting tissues form another part of the body, or implanting synthetic material to alter the shape of the nose.Rhinoplasty is the second most common cosmetic procedure among both men and women, but it also one of the trickiest in terms of surgical technique — and it demands the skill and artistry of a trained expert like Dr. Moradzadeh. When rhinoplasty is performed to improve breathing that has been impaired due to the formation of the nose or to an injury, it’s known as functional rhinoplasty. When the surgery is performed to improve the nose’s appearance, it’s referred to as cosmetic rhinoplasty. Through cosmetic rhinoplasty, the nose can be made larger or smaller; the angle of the nose can be changed in relation to the upper lip; the tip of the nose can be altered; or other imperfections like bumps, indentations and other defects can be corrected.

Rhinoplasty or nose job is a surgical alteration of the nose to improve its function or to change its appearance. Nose reshaping can help to repair a nose that has been deformed by trauma or to enhance facial features. The procedure can also correct impaired breathing due to structural problems in the nose. Cosmetic rhinoplasty is a facial surgery that changes the outward features of the nose. For example a crooked nose or a hump removal. The procedure can change the size of the nose and its parts, the shape of the tip, the nostrils, and the bridge. Since there is no one perfect shape, patients can change the appearance of the nose to better suit their facial structure. Normal activities can usually be resumed two to three weeks after the surgery.

His procedure, rhinoplasty, has its modern roots in Europe at the beginning of the last century. It was one of the first cosmetic procedures done in the history of medicine. Until that time, few people would dare undergo a surgical procedure unless it was to alleviate substantial pain or preserve life.
