Kristina had a rhinoplasty or nose job and writes:
Thanks to Dr. Bashioum and his team, I feel much more confident about my nose! I told him what I wanted and he did exactly what he said he would do to fix what bothered me. I am now five weeks out from the surgery and I love the results. Thank you all for your support. I am going to recommend Dr. Bashioum to all my friends and to my mom for her upcoming surgery.

Nose Surgery: Pick Your Nose!

Plastic surgeons most often want to give you what you want. I really think this stems from a profound sense of responsibility regarding patients placed in a physician’s care. This responsibility is firmly instilled in young residents during plastic surgery training.
Patients frequently bring in pictures saying, “I want my nose to look like this.†Several factors dictate whether this nipntuck request represents realistic expectations. It is important to understand the possibilities and limitations presented by the anatomy of a particular nose, the aesthetics of the individual facial structure and desires of the patient. Many factors are involved in designing a nose surgery.
Modern rhinoplasty philosophy and techniques do give us a vast number of combinations with regards to nose surgery. We are able to either increase or decrease the size of any part of your nose. For example, a surgeon might increase the height of the bridge of the nose, while decreasing the width of the tip.
Unfortunately, these techniques are not as precise as sculpting a piece of metal or clay, but this surgery has high patient satisfaction, like Lisa. Click here to read Lisa’s blog and see her After Photo. Watch some film clips of actual surgery.
