The feeling of personal empowerment is a powerful one indeed. It’s a confident feeling that you have about yourself and your place in the world. We believe that everyone should have a sense of great personal empowerment. Unfortunately, some people do not have that feeling and often times it is because of something they don’t like about how they look. This is often the motivation that leads one to the decision to have plastic surgery. That’s why we talk with our patients about their personal motivation, their hopes and fears about cosmetic surgery and what type of results they desire.

A rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve the function and appearance of a person’s nose. The modern approach to nasal surgery includes two new concepts:The first is the recognition that the addition of tissue such as a cartilage graft can often improve contour and breathing. These grafting techniques can be more effective and appear more natural than removing tissue alone. It is sometimes more predictable, for example, to improve the profile by building up a low nasal bridge rather than trying to reduce the forward projection of the nasal tip. Conversely, in patients where the forward projection of the tip is inadequate, adding cartilage will yield a more natural profile than trying to reduce the bridge. Most procedures today entail a combination of tissue removal and tissue addition in order to produce the best result.
The second concept is the “open” rhinoplasty method. A small incision is placed in the skin under the nose between the nostrils, allowing the surgeon to “open” the nose and view its entire internal structure. This allows for great precision in making internal changes, which affect external appearance. Patients who have had previous nasal surgery with a poor result usually require both cartilage grafts and an “open” rhinoplasty in order to correct the deformities.
Each individual rhinoplasty procedure is different. The needs of a person with breathing difficulties may be vastly different than that of a person who is interested in reshaping their nose. This is why it is important to discuss your goals for nasal revision with the Dr. in order to create a solution for your specific needs. Dr. Ditesheim is a precise nasal surgeon, making your results as close to perfection as possible.
Dr. Ditesheim and his experienced staff will provide you with pre-surgical information that includes guidelines about drinking, smoking and avoiding certain vitamins and medications. Dr. Ditesheim’s caring staff has a wealth of experience in preparing families for the recovery process and ensuring a predictable, smooth process.
