Reshaping of the nasal tip is an important element of many rhinoplasty surgeries. Elevation of the nasal tip, known as increasing tip rotation, opens up the nasolabial angle and is commonly done in many female rhinoplasties.

Skull reconstruction in young children is almost always done by bone reshaping operations. For common craniofacial deformities like numerous forms of craniosynostosis, the deformed bones are removed and put back in a reshaped fashion to allow for brain growth to continue to mold the developing skull shape. But once the child reaches several years of Read More…
