If you are dissatisfied with the shape of your nose or have been suffering from the affects of nasal conditions such as a deviated septum, you may be a candidate for procedures designed to address those issues. Our San Francisco Bay Area nasal surgery physician, serving visitors from San Jose and around the world, uses state-of-the-art rhinoplasty techniques and his experience gained over 30 years in practice to recontour the nose and give you an improved facial aesthetic and increased self-confidence. The following information should help in determining whether you are a candidate for the procedure.
Rhinoplasty is designed to improve balance and harmony among facial features, address problems with the shape and contours of the nose and/or nostrils, and correct breathing problems and other nasal issues. San Francisco Bay Area patients who wish to undergo rhinoplasty (nasal surgery) for any of the above-mentioned reasons are often good candidates for the procedure. The minimum age requirement for rhinoplasty is typically 14 years old for girls and at least 15 for boys, as the nose may not be fully developed before then. Younger candidates are encouraged to fully consider the choice to undergo rhinoplasty and make sure that it is their own decision rather than the result of peer, parental, or other external pressures. Contact our Bay Area facility, convenient to Contra Costa County and San Jose patients considering rhinoplasty, to set up a consultation with Ronald Gruber, M.D.
