Rhinoplasty (nose)

Side view of Dr. Severinac's rhinoplasty patient

The nose is central to the appearance of the face. Changing the shape and size of your nose may be something you have wanted to do for a long time.   In Fort Wayne, Dr. Severinac is only one of two plastic surgeons performing rhinoplasty.  The reason for this is most plastic surgeons are not comfortable with performing rhinoplasties.  The procedure requires a keen knowledge of  craniofacial anatomy and an artistic understanding of the cosmetic issues in a given patient.  Dr. Severinac had additional training in craniofacial surgery.  This training is crucial for plastic surgeons performing rhinoplasty.

Dr. Severinac can help you realize your goals, starting with an imaging program. He can manipulate your picture on a computer screen to reveal your possibilities for a more aesthetically pleasing nose. During rhinoplasty,  incisions are made along the rims of the nostrils and through the collumella to avoid visible scarring.

The bone and/or cartilage are then sculpted for the desired look. Breathing problems can also be treated during rhinoplasty by septoplasty and turbinectomy.   Nasal tip rhinoplasties can often be performed in our office surgical suite with local anesthesia and oral sedation.  Rhinoplasty or Nose Job in Fort Wayne, Indiana... it's time to look and feel your best!
