Appearance does matter! They say your eyes are the windows to your soul – but what about your nose?

Nothing is as bad, and negative to your overall appearance and ego, than an "out of proportion" nose. Other people unfortunately are drawn to the defect rather than to the inner beauty of the individual. Compounding this virtual pandora's box of problems is usually a loss of function, inability to breathe properly; sometimes even breathe well at all.

WHY RHINOPLASTY WORKS
Patients universally rave about an overall improvement in their entire facial appearance after a successful rhinoplasty. By reshaping and sculpting the most projecting point of your profile, your nose, balance and harmony as well as a more peaceful appearance is created. Others can perceive this facial balance and believe you are more youthful and relaxed – this has been confirmed by studies on postoperative cosmetic patients.

As you can see from the dramatic preoperative and postoperative photos displayed on this page, rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) can absolutely enhance your appearance. Yes, enhance your appearance in a bold and positive way; balancing all other facial features – and improving function as well as structure.

CHALLENGES
Rhinoplasty has been noted by many cosmetic plastic surgeons to be "the" most difficult surgery. A patient must trust the artistry and scientific technique of the surgeon to create a sculpture that will look natural and "age" well. Dr. Harold Bafitis, a local plastic surgeon, in Palm Beach has a national reputation when it comes to rhinoplasty. Dr. Bafitis has led teaching conferences at national cosmetic plastic surgery meetings; sharing his technique with integrated rhinoplasty. He has done this 7 times over the last 12 years - and has performed live nasal surgery, on close circuit TV, with literally hundreds of cosmetic surgeons and resident plastic surgeons in attendance. Dr. Bafitis has hosted local teaching seminars, on rhinoplasty including techniques that improve previously operated noses that have been surgically "crippled". Bafitis has also recently been asked to author a chapter in a medical textbook on rhinoplasty techniques.
