COSMETIC NOSE SURGERY (RHINOPLASTY)

Dr. Clavin's Philosophy on the Art of Nasal Surgery

Nasal cosmetic surgery should be performed by a surgeon only with very talented aesthetic abilities. In addition, the nasal cosmetic procedure should be performed with minimal surgical trauma to the nose, no external incisions, match and blend all facial features, look very natural and unoperated, cause minimal pain and discomfort to the patient, and be performed under the highest standards of safety.

The "new" approach to nasal surgery, that being an "open rhinoplasty", in Dr. Clavin's opinion, is widely overused, causes extensive swelling and trauma to the nose, and should only be reserved for very special cases of revision rhinoplasty.

Cosmetic surgery of the nose can dramatically change the size, shape and appearance of a nose. Dr. Clavin's objective is to create a natural-looking nose that fits with other facial features. He creates this nose by recontouring the nasal profile, reshaping the nasal tip, and changing the angle between the nose and the upper lip. Concurrently, breathing problems can also be corrected during this surgical procedure.

Dr. Clavin is able to reshape your nose through small incisions made inside of your nose so that they will not be visible. Should any incisions need to be made outside the nose, Dr. Clavin will make sure that they are well hidden and inconspicuous.

Dr. Clavin is one of the few cosmetic nasal surgeons who does not send the patient home with packing in the nose. Therefore, the patient has little or no discomfort after surgery.
