Before & Afters

What happens during my rhinoplasty consultation?

Rhinoplasty that results in a natural-appearing nose without leaving behind evidence of the surgery is one of Dr. Sanders’ favorite procedures. In addition to ensuring your nose looking natural, your rhinoplasty must meet your expectations. That’s one of the top goals during your consultation.

Dr. Sanders talks with you about the changes you want to make and how you envision your new nose. He evaluates your nose and overall facial structure, considers the improvements you want, and determines if they’re realistic. Dr. Sanders considers if the new shape or size is in proportion to your face and whether your facial architecture can support the changes you want. He talks with you about any potential concerns so you can work with him to create your perfect rhinoplasty results.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty is exactly what it sounds like—a second rhinoplasty, or commonly knows as a "nose job."

Dr. Sanders has many people referred to him because of the vast experience in operating on "difficult noses."

Functional Rhinoplasty

This is a corrective procedure known as a functional rhinoplasty that usually includes a septoplasty. Functional rhinoplasty is all about the "function" of the nose. It's about the airflow and removing blockages. Sometimes the shape of the nose is part of the problem.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

Non-surgical rhinoplasty utilizes hyaluronic acid fillers to reshape nose structure. Fillers are injected into the nose to alter shape and produce an even, symmetrical appearance. Dips or bumps in the bridge of the nose can be corrected through the use of fillers to create a smoother look. The treatment is also effective in correcting a drooping tip, flat nose bridge, or uneven nose structure.
