Patient Before & After Photos

The good news first - you have some truly beautiful features. But, you already knew that, because people compliment you all the time. Your eyes, for instance; men can't resist commenting about them. Your hair is the envy of every woman you know. Then, there are those lips - even you have to admit they're pretty luscious. And to top it all off, you were born with such incredibly beautiful skin - so smooth and silky... at least, that's what everyone says. It's wonderful really, because when someone says something nice, it can make you feel good even on a bad day.

What do they say about your nose? Silence can speak volumes. Of course, what's important is how you feel about it. Sometimes, do you wish that it were a more aesthetically pleasing shape or size? Sometimes, do you wish that you didn't have to live with an imperfection resulting from something completely out of your control, such as an accident of some kind or even a birth defect? Sometimes... all the time? You don't have to. You have control. With nose surgery, San Diego men and women like you have discovered that the form and function of the nose can be improved upon.

So, are you ready for the bad news now?

... Why Does It Have To Be One Or the Other?

It doesn't. You can enjoy form and function with one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures both around the country, as well as right here in San Diego - rhinoplasty. Of course, by living here in Southern California, you've seen your share of fads. A "nose job" is no fad. The fact is nose surgery dates back thousands of years to an Indian physician named Sushruta. Known as "the father of plastic surgery," Sushruta documented 15 methods for rebuilding the nose. Evolving from an ancient reconstructive procedure to a modern aesthetic one, rhinoplasty has obviously come a long way since then. Fortunately, you don't have to go to any great lengths to see triple board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Chaffoo because he has two plastic surgery centers to serve you - one in La Jolla and the other in Murrieta. Of course, you want to know more, and you want to know it now:
