Rhinoplasty, or nose beautification surgery, can be performed to change the appearance of the nose, either alone or at the same time as functional nose surgery.  Funtional nose surgery is performed to correct breathing problems, such as a deviated septum or turbinate enlargement or nasal polyps.  When deciding what changes you want cosmetically for your nose, it is important to keep in mind that the nose should be proportional to your other facial features to obtain your best results.  During consultation, Dr. Amy T. Bandy will photograph your nose on various views.  She will then discuss with you the changes that you would like to make to determine what final result you are looking for.  Dr. Bandy will then computer image your photo to view with you to see if the changes she has made visually give you the result that you desire to achieve.  Remember, the nose is the center of your face, and you want the best results that you can get, and this is what Dr. Amy Bandy strives to deliver; a natural look with beautiful results!
