Rhinoplasty
Due to overwhelming demand for other procedures, Dr. Walters is no longer performing rhinoplasty procedures at this time. Thank you for your interest.
Rhinoplasty is an aesthetic treatment used to change the look and shape of the nose. Furthermore, it may help repair a functional or breathing issue in many patients. New Orleans, LA, plastic surgeon Dr. Jules Walters is an experienced cosmetic nose and facial surgeon who performs rhinoplasty surgery, taking a conservative approach to allow for the softest and most natural results. Although rhinoplasty consists of delicate changes, results tend to be beautiful and dramatic. Cosmetic nose surgery at the MODERN Plastic Surgery & Medspa can make a nose appear smaller in size or change a nose that is misshapen, protrudes out, is too large or wide, or has a bump on top. The objective is to allow for a more aesthetically appealing nose that meets your cosmetic desires and functions well.
Adults and teenagers over 16 years of age are candidates for cosmetic nose surgery. If you find yourself frustrated with the appearance of your nose and have distinct issues you hope to improve, enhance, or correct, this procedure may be the recommended course of action. It’s very important that expectations are understood, as your nose and facial profile will be altered. Furthermore, facial growth and maturity should also be complete. This will be addressed during your consultation, even more so for adolescents.
Nose surgery is performed while the patient is under sedation, such as general anesthesia, and is, in most cases, an outpatient procedure.
This treatment offers different surgical methods depending on the patient’s unique cosmetic goals. Dr. Walters performs rhinoplasty using either an open or closed (endonasal) approach. The objective during the procedure is to decrease or eliminate excess bone, cartilage, and tissue or to build and increase cartilage if necessary for reconstruction. Dr. Walters repositions the nasal features and redrapes the skin over the newly structured framework. Stitches are positioned either on the inside portion of the nose or within the natural external fold.
*Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
