The galactic centre of your face is your nose; it is a prominent feature that is immediately noticed when you interact with anyone. The nose performs two key functions for the body: breathing and sense of smell. At his clinic in Kelowna, plastic surgeon Dr. Brian Peterson performs costmetic rhinoplasty (also known as nose job surgery) as a method of improving the appearance of the nose, and, as a result, his patients enjoy rejuvenated appearances and improved self-confidence.
Plastic surgery has its roots in the First World War where it was used to reconstruct facial injuries, especially those involving the nose, for soldiers wounded on the battlefield. The discipline has evolved greatly and rhinoplasty remains a great solution for people who have had their noses broken or altered in various ways. Plastic surgeons have seen it all when it comes to noses that require rhinoplasty, from patients who have had unfortunate car accidents to athletes who have endured years of playing contact sports, such as hockey.
Dr. Peterson, however, focuses on cosmetic rhinoplasty for patients who are unhappy with the appearance of their nose. As mentioned earlier, the nose is a prominent feature of the face, and it can become the centre of attention, for better or for worse. Genetics always play a factor when it comes the body, and for some people, their nose may be disproportionately large, bumpy, or crooked. Rhinoplasty will correct the aforementioned problems, and give prospective patients the aesthetically pleasing nose they desire.
Looking in the mirror and feeling unhappy with the appearance of your nose, from it being too big or crooked or any other reason, can do a number on a person’s self-esteem and often leads to insecurities. Getting a nose job from experienced board-certified Kelowna plastic surgeon Dr. Brian Peterson can restore a patient’s self-confidence and ultimately give them an appearance they are proud of.
