DR. BECKER’S APPROACH TO RHINOPLASTY
My personal philosophy of rhinoplasty focuses on one essential goal – a result that makes the patient happy. With this in mind, I take a conservative approach to rhinoplasty and seek a natural, un-operated look. I avoid over-aggressive resection maneuvers. I focus on maintaining structural support, and seek a natural “un-operated” appearance. I have provided before and after rhinoplasty photos in my websites that reflect my approach.
Ultimately, success in rhinoplasty is based on well-developed judgment, wisdom, and accumulated knowledge and experience. Like most surgeries, rhinoplasty is both a science and an art. Skill comes from experience and wisdom, combined with a measure of talent. Explore this website and learn the possibilities. Contact us with questions, or to make an appointment. I look forward to seeing you!
