I have contacted 3 doctors who declined my request for rhinoplasty. I do not like the projection of my nose compared to my chin. I would also like a slight curved slope to my bridge instead of just straight. My nose tip swells up a lot and gets red when I cry or do exercise, it also gets sore and sensitive (due to my rosacea?). I have 1 mL of HA injections in my chin and my nose still looks long. I do not want a chin implant as I prefer a delicate chin and jaw. Why do I keep getting refused?
Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. In traditional Rhinoplasty, surgical instruments known as rasps and osteotomies (hammer and chisel) are used to reshape the nasal bones by removing the hump and/or narrowing the nasal bone width. These tools are relatively imprecise and their use can lead to contour irregularities, etc. if not used in the proper manner. Recently, a technology that uses sound waves has been developed to contour nasal bones in a precise and far less traumatic way when compared to traditional techniques. Ultrasonic, or Piezo, Rhinoplasty is now the most advanced technology available for minimally traumatic nasal bone reshaping and hump removal during Rhinoplasty. There will be hardly any bruising and swelling which will make the recovery period a lot easier for the patient.
