BeverlyHillsProfiles: Procedures (hero image)

Nose surgery or Rhinoplasty is performed to enhance the appearance of the nose and/or to correct a functional problem resulting from internal anomalies, such as a deviated nasal septum, nasal fracture and enlarged turbinates. Although nose surgeries are common, they represent some of the most challenging surgical procedures that are performed, requiring unique expertise and an inexhaustible attention to detail. It can be argued that the nose is the most defining characteristic of the face; even a slight alteration can have a tremendous impact on one’s appearance.

At Profiles Beverly Hills, Facial Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Litner and Dr. Solieman specialize in this delicate procedure. It is for this reason that Drs. Litner and Solieman have gained a reputation that extends far beyond the L.A. metropolitan area.

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is performed to alter the size and shape of the nose, bringing it into greater balance with the other features of the face. With even small, subtle adjustments, in the hands of the right surgeon, the change can be dramatic.

Deviated Septum ( Septoplasty)

Deviated Septum (Septoplasty)

If the nasal septum, the cartilage and bone partition that separates the nasal cavities is crooked, displaced, or deviated, it can cause difficulty breathing. A deviated septum, which does not necessarily correspond with a crooked outward appearance of the nose, can be present at birth. Alternately, it can develop as the result of injury or trauma to the nose.....

Septal Perforation

Septal Perforation

Composed of three layers (bone, cartilage and the nasal lining), the nasal septum can develop a perforation, or hole, that punctures through all three layers. A perforation can appear due to a variety of causes, including complications from a previous nose surgery, trauma to the nose, snorting drugs, and certain illnesses.

African American Nose

African American Nose

Individuals of African American descent tend to have certain distinguishing nasal characteristics, including low, wide nasal bridges, wide nostrils and nasal tip, soft septal cartilage, and thick skin. These characteristics present specific technical challenges, such as how to heighten the bridge without overbuilding.
