The nose is the most prominent facial feature. When it is out of proportion with other features, it can seem to dominate the whole face.

Dr. Morrow can reduce a nose that is too large, narrow a nose that is too wide, or widen one that is too narrow. He can straighten a crooked nose, eliminate unsightly humps, reshape the tip, and even improve the angle between the nose and the upper lip.

If nasal obstruction is causing breathing and sinus problems, Dr. Morrow can perform reconstructive procedures inside the nose that can help increase airflow.

Dr. Morrow will consider the contour and shape of your face, the texture and thickness of your skin, your other features, and the ability of your tissues to heal. It is important that you have appropriate expectations and a proper attitude about the surgery. Cosmetic surgery cannot create the perfect nose. There is really no such thing. The goal is a naturally looking nose that suits your face and balances well with your other features.

Dr. Morrow will remove or rearrange certain amounts of underlying bone, cartilage and soft tissue through a combination of internal and external incisions, all carefully placed to minimize their visibility. Nasal packing is often avoided. At the end of the procedure, an external cast is applied to keep the new framework of your nose stable and protected for one week.

Bruising and swelling may vary from patient to patient and generally lasts for one week. Discomfort is easily controlled with a mild analgesic. Most people return to school or work within 7-10 days.
