Nose Job (Rhinoplasty) La Jolla, CA | Miller Cosmetic Surgery Center - Scott R. Miller, MD, FACS

Understanding Rhinoplasty in La Jolla

Nose surgery, medically known as rhinoplasty, can help improve both the form and function of your nose. Dr. Scott Miller performs this procedure to restore balance among facial features, delivering natural-looking results for patients seeking cosmetic or functional improvements.

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is designed to make the nose appear more proportionate to your facial features by repositioning nasal bones and cartilage. This surgical technique can effectively enhance the shape, size, or projection of your nose while addressing potential breathing difficulties.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty

• Improve overall nasal dimensions
• Correct a crooked or misaligned nasal bridge
• Reduce a noticeable nasal bump
• Refine nostril width and shape
• Enhance nasal tip contour
• Correct deviated septum and improve breathing

Rhinoplasty Procedure Details

Dr. Miller performs rhinoplasty using either open or closed techniques, carefully modifying nasal bones and cartilage to achieve desired results. The procedure typically takes one to three hours and can be performed on an outpatient basis.

Candidacy for Rhinoplasty

Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty should:

• Have realistic expectations
• Be in good overall health
• Have no uncontrolled medical conditions
