Follow my experience as I have rhinoplasty surgery to remove a bump on my nose that has been bothering me forever.

The procedure was performed by plastic surgeon Dr. David E. Kim of Beverly Hills Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

My results were amazing. I couldn't have asked for a more natural looking result. My family and friends all thought I had done something different with my hair. When I told them I had my nose done they were just as amazed as I was at the outstanding results.

The size and shape of your nose is considered by many to be the most defining part of your face. A nose job, or rhinoplasty, can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve breathing problems.

The main focus of rhinoplasty is to alter the bone and cartilage of your nose, because your skin and connective tissue essentially "hang" on a "frame" of cartilage and bone. During your surgery, small incisions are made on the inside of your nose, or in the columella (skin that separates the nostrils), before a selective amount of soft tissue is separated from the cartilage and bone. The surgeon will than alter the cartilage and/or bone to achieve your desired look; for example, bone may be removed or cartilage may be reshaped. During you consultation with Dr. Kim, you will learn which technique -- "open" or "closed" rhinoplasty -- is best to utilize for your surgery.

Rhinoplasty is typically performed while under general anesthesia or, depending on the type of nasal procedure, under local anesthesia with a sedative. The length of the surgery depends on the intricacy of the surgery. For instance, altering the size of the nostrils along with the nose can take about one to two hours, but surgery to correct a birth defect is known to last longer because it can be more complicated.

The final step of surgery is the reattachment of soft tissue. Your nose then will be held in place with a splint (similar in idea to splinting a broken arm); a plastic or metal splint will be taped to the outside of your nose, and smaller splints may be placed within your nostril to allow your new nose to heal properly.
