Today’s Rhinoplasty Procedures Simplify Your Decision

Many people today have moved forward with decisions to alter the shape of their noses, while many more have hesitated for fear of botched jobs or simply unsatisfactory results.  Think Michael Jackson.  It is no wonder that many reasonable people would delay a procedure which holds promise of a rhino-fiasco such as his was.  After all, if someone as financially fortuitous as Mr. Jackson could be unable to attain a proper nose, well then what must be the chances for a person of common means?  Daunting consideration indeed!  However, no longer does the prospect of a nose job today need to be worrisome as it has been in the past.

Of course there always were primary and secondary rhinoplasty procedures- the secondary being for the purposes of either a) dissatisfaction with the initial procedure or b) as a follow-up to an initial rhinoplastic procedure which was largely reconstructive in nature due to a traumatic injury, requiring a substantial effort.  The problem with the second procedure however, has always been the need to go in for that 2^nd operation after the nose had already healed from the first.  In order for the surgeons to see what needed to be done, the patient basically had to completely heal, and then start all over again- and often further work would not be possible due to the destruction of the original framework.  There are a few features a patient will look at post-op and either derive a satisfaction from the procedure, or not.  The nose bridge may have been under- or over- corrected, and the same holds true for the tip of one’s nose, which could be either too small or too large.

Enter in Dr. Jay Calvert, MD., plastic and general surgeon whose work in bone regeneration and tissue engineering has solidified his ranking as a top expert in nasal revision and reconstructive surgeries.  Dr. Calvert has essentially developed the paramount rhinoplasty surgery technique of the modern age.  Called the DCF nose graft, the procedure allows the surgeon to essentially mold the nose during its initial healing stages- basically, to fine tune the results.  His revolutionary nasal-bridge technique allows for the treatment of problems which before had been difficult and even impossible to correct.  The procedure actually uses a patient’s own cartilage and bone tissues- from the rib- and therefore complications due to rejection are greatly reduced.
