Nose Reshaping Surgery in Plano | Alfred R. Antonetti, M.D.

Understanding Rhinoplasty Candidacy

Many individuals consider rhinoplasty when they feel their nose's size or shape is disproportionate to their facial features. Determining surgical candidacy requires careful medical evaluation by Dr. Antonetti. Ideal candidates have fully matured nasal bones, typically occurring in the mid-teens, with stabilized nostril shape.

Key Rhinoplasty Considerations

• Fully developed nasal bone structure
• Stabilized nostril shape
• Realistic aesthetic expectations
• Potential functional breathing improvements

The rhinoplasty procedure involves precise surgical techniques designed to reshape nasal structures. Incisions are strategically made either inside the nose or across the columella, minimizing visible scarring. Dr. Antonetti carefully exposes and sculpts the underlying cartilage and bone to achieve the desired nasal contour.
