San Diego Rhinoplasty

The nose is a very prominent facial feature, one that is commonly a source of insecurity amongst men and women of any age. Various nasal features can be altered by undergoing nose surgery in La Jolla. Rhinoplasty surgeon Carol Hollan, M.D., F.A.C.S. is not only a respected, competent, and skilled physician, but also an artist, nurturer, and educator. She has the "unique ability to envision the final result of her skills long before she begins a procedure."

Rhinoplasty Information

Dr. Hollan welcomes patients to schedule an informative meeting at her accredited surgical facility, the La Jolla Center for Surgery, to learn about nose surgery ("rhinoplasty"). During consultation, the individual and Dr. Hollan will discuss problem area(s), what to expect before and after surgery, and the possible risks and side effects. Dr. Hollan will also take the person's medical history, age, anatomy, and concerns into consideration when creating an appropriate treatment plan.

Individuals in the La Jolla, San Diego, and Carlsbad areas interested in rhinoplasty often wish to improve the size and/or shape of their nose in order to achieve a more symmetrical facial appearance. Dr. Hollan can remove bumps/raises on the bridge, widen or narrow the size of the nostrils, and alter the angle of the tip of the nose. A more aesthetically pleasing nasal structure can be reached with cosmetic rhinoplasty.

Additionally, for those who have undergone a previous nasal surgery and were left with unsatisfying results, Dr. Hollan can perform revision rhinoplasty, or "reconstructive rhinoplasty". Birth defects and breathing problems can also be treated with reconstructive nose surgery. 

San Diego rhinoplasty surgeon Dr. Hollan also specializes in facelift surgery ("rhytidectomy"), chin augmentation ("mentoplasty"), and laser resurfacing. A more proportionate and youthful facial appearance can be reached when combining these procedures.
