Question:
My 16 year old daughter wants to have a nose job. Her nose is not very large, but it is crooked and one nostril is visibly bigger than the other. I have heard of a non-surgical way to correct minor imperfections. Can you tell me about this new less invasive Rhinoplasty procedure? Answer:
It sounds like your daughter may have a deviated nasal septum causing the nostril asymmetry. Furthermore, she may have had nasal trauma in the past or was born with a crooked nose. Minor nasal corrections can be adjusted with injectables to fill subtle contours. Judging by the way you describe her nose, this definitely sounds like a surgical case. The good news is that many times, medical insurance will cover correction of her nasal abnormalities, especially if it is causing nasal airway obstruction. |
