Serving Dallas, Texas – Leaders in Primary Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure that involves reshaping the nose. It can be either a cosmetic procedure performed to improve the appearance of the nose, a medically necessary procedure to improve nasal breathing, or a combination of both. Dr. Jack P. Gunter and Dr. C. Spencer Cochran perform all types of nose surgery at our Dallas, Texas practice. Primary rhinoplasty refers to first-time nasal surgery, whether for cosmetic or functional purposes, as opposed to secondary (revisionary) rhinoplasty, which indicates the patient has had one or more previous rhinoplasties.
Primary rhinoplasty is accomplished by removing excess bone and cartilage from beneath the skin covering the nose. In some cases, cartilage grafts are added to help remodel the nasal framework. After alteration of the supporting structures, the skin is repositioned over the newly shaped framework to give the nose its new appearance. The changes may be subtle or dramatic, depending on the needs of the patient.

Our Goals for Primary Rhinoplasty
Dr. Gunter and Dr. Cochran’s surgical goal is to produce a nose that looks natural, functions properly, and is in balance and harmony with other facial features. The "operated look" is thereby avoided. While each primary rhinoplasty patient's wishes are always central to what we do, there are limiting factors. Skin texture and thickness, previous injuries or nasal surgeries, individual variations in healing, and facial proportion and contour play important roles in what can, and should, be achieved with a nose job. These and other factors will be fully discussed during your consultation.

Internet Consultations
For your convenience, you may choose to complete an Internet Consultation to determine your eligibility for nasal surgery before you visit our Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas office. This optional online rhinoplasty consultation helps our doctors assess whether you are a good surgical candidate, the degree to which they can ultimately address your individual situation, or can save you a trip to Dallas if you are not a good candidate for rhinoplasty.
