Rhinoplasty Seattle - Sam Naficy, MD - Seattle Rhinoplasty Nose Plastic Surgery Nose Job

Announcement

CASE OF THE MONTH

Seattle rhinoplasty surgeon Sam Naficy, MD performed this rhinoplasty procedure to help refine the tip and reduce the hump on the bridge of the nose. The patient also had a deviated septum which was corrected at the same time as the rhinoplasty.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SEEING WHAT YOUR NOSE COULD LOOK LIKE AFTER A RHINOPLASTY?

Seattle rhinoplasty surgeon Dr. Sam Naficy can perform computer simulations to help you visualize the potential outcome of rhinoplasty. Check out this link for more details about rhinoplasty simulations. Also, if you are wondering whether you would be a good candidate for rhinoplasty, you may submit your photographs to us for a virtual consultation.

Rhinoplasty Simulation

Patients seeking rhinoplasty may benefit greatly from a computer simulation of the potential result. Many undesirable features of the nose affect the profile much more than they affect the front view. Most of us rarely get a good look at our profile, and if so, it is usually through a photograph. Computer simulation allows the surgeon to reshape the nose digitally and to give the patient an idea of possible outcome from the rhinoplasty procedure. Let's look at an example.

This young woman had a rather long nose and wanted to make it shorter and less protruding. A digital photograph is taken and, using special morphing software, the nose is modified to a more pleasing profile. It is important to realize that these are computer-generated simulations of what might be accomplished with surgery. The sole purpose of these simulations is to give the patient a general idea of a possible outcome after surgery, however simulations neither serve as an express nor implied guarantee of duplication or replication of these results.

Before Simulation

This patient elected to proceed with rhinoplasty surgery and below you can see the actual outcome of the surgery performed. The simulation above served in giving the patient a better visual idea of what Dr. Naficy was planning to perform.

Rhinoplasty simulations serve as an important tool in helping patients make a more informed decision. They are particularly important with our out of town patients as Dr. Naficy performs a number of procedures on patient flying into Seattle from all over the country. These patients sometimes e-mail their digital photographs to Dr. Naficy allowing a "virtual consultation" which includes computer simulations of possible rhinoplasty results.
