This facial plastic surgery is highly customized based on your anatomy and goals, so he may use a variety of techniques to provide you with an optimal result.

What Is Rhinoplasty and Who Benefits?

Rhinoplasty—often called a “nose job”—is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose to enhance facial balance and, when needed, improve breathing. It can address:

  • Nose size, shape, or profile

  • Nostril position and symmetry

  • Nasal tip aesthetics

  • Structural issues like a deviated septum

Ideal for patients seeking cosmetic balance, improved breathing, or both.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty at Montante Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics

  • Reshape the nose so that it is in better proportion with the rest of your face
  • Reduce a nose you deem too large
  • Smooth a bump on the bridge of the nose
  • Reduce or augment the nose tip
  • Correct a hooked nose
  • Improve nostril size
  • Correct obstructed nasal airways, such as a deviated septum
  • Widen the airways for better air flow

Dr. Montante will spend time with you during your initial consultation to hear your concerns and goals, as well as answer your questions.

Dr. Montante will also examine your nose and recommend a surgical plan for you. He will review your medical history to determine if you have any conditions related to breathing that can be corrected during your surgery. If your breathing is obstructed, that portion of your surgery may be covered by insurance. You may need to see a physician who can perform specific tests to satisfy your insurance company’s requirements, however. Dr. Montante will advise you of all preparations to take prior to your rhinoplasty in Richmond.
