RHINOPLASTY
We make every effort to ensure that the information contained on this site is accurate however; all information is subject to alteration from time to time. The information on this website therefore serves as a guide only to help you and prepare you for your consultation with Mr. Marando, your Cosmetic Surgeon.
A Rhinoplasty or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct the result of an injury, or help relieve some breathing problems.
Rhinoplasty surgery can enhance the appearance and self-confidence, but it won't necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have plastic surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with Mr.Marando.
The best candidates for rhinoplasty surgery are people who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you're physically healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate.
Mr.Marando will explain you the procedure in details, advise you and guide you in order to make the right choice.
