What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is an aesthetic procedure used to enhance the look and shape of the nose. Aside from correcting cosmetic issues, rhinoplasty can also restore the nose's function by improving breathing issues. At HGH Plastic Surgery, our team performs rhinoplasty with a focus on creating natural-looking outcomes. For large noses, noses with an irregular shape, or noses that protrude too far outward, even small changes can produce dramatic results. For more information about rhinoplasty in Birmingham, AL, schedule a consultation with one of our plastic surgeons.
How Is Rhinoplasty Performed?
Rhinoplasty is generally performed with the patient under general anesthesia. There are different approaches that may be used, depending on certain cosmetic goals. Whichever method is used, the objective during surgery is to reduce excess tissue and cartilage or to build and increase cartilage for a new shape. After crafting the desired shape, we'll reposition the nose and drape the skin back over it. Stitches will then be placed either inside the nose or within the natural external crease to reduce visibility.
What Are the Benefits of Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty offers a variety of aesthetic and functional benefits for our Birmingham, AL patients, including:
- Reducing the bridge of the nose
- Increasing or decreasing the size of the nose
- Revising nasal pathways to make breathing easier
- Reshaping the nostrils
- Reducing the tip of the nose
- Correcting a deviated septum

I am writing this review to rave about Dr.Vandiver and his work. I just had my rhinoplasty with him, and he was wonderful throughout the entire process. For context, I am an ICU nurse, so I did a lot of research and had certain expectations going into my surgical consultations. He truly stood out for his attention to detail and bedside manner. He did not push me to do anything extra and did solely what he needed to in order to achieve my desired results. I highly recommend him. He is kind, patient, and very skilled.
