surgeries

• It is a procedure that need only be performed once in a patient’s lifetime if carried out with surgical expertise and an aesthetic understanding

• The surgery generally lasts around a couple of hours and is performed under a general anesthetic

• A strong and well-proportioned nasal skeleton is the key to a successful surgery
