Rhinoplasty - Nasal Valve Reconstruction
48:37  - 3 years ago
On February 1, 2006, we step inside the operating rooms at the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) in Baltimore and watched as Director of Facial Plastic Surgery, Thomas Le, M.D., an assistant professor of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, and Scott Strome, M.D., chair of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology -Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and Chief of Otorhinolaryngology at the UMMC perform a rhinoplasty, the surgical method of reshaping the nose. According to Dr. Le, the reasons for rhinoplasty are one of the following: cosmetic, traumatic, congenital or functional. Rhinoplasty can be used to change the size of a nose, reshape the tip or bridge, narrow or enlarge portions of a nose, correct a birth defect, repair an injury or help alleviate a breathing problem.
