Nose Reshaping, Sinus and Breathing Issues
Dr. Martini's interest and expertise in nasal surgery goes beyond the cosmetic, Dr. Martini also specializes in nose functionality. In addition to being board-certified in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Martini is a board-certified otolaryngologist and can address functional problems such as nasal obstruction, congestion and sinusitis. With over 20 years of study of the nose, Dr. Martini can frequently find solutions to patients' nasal problems in the most difficult of cases, even when a patient has expressed their complaints elsewhere and have been told they are "normal." With a craftsman's dedication to continually refining techniques, Dr. Martini's reputation for excellence attracts patients desiring primary rhinoplasty, those looking to resolve functional problems as well as patients who need revision work on cosmetic and functional surgeries performed elsewhere.
Dr. Martini believes the nose is the defining feature of the face and that it brings harmony to facial proportions by balancing the chin and profile. So, when considering a surgical procedure to change the nasal shape, these factors must be carefully considered. Rhinoplasty for cosmetic purposes may include refining the tip of the nose, raising or lowering the nasal profile, removing a nasal hump, or adjusting the angle of the nasal tip with the lip. Because of the strong aesthetic relationship between the nose and the chin, Dr. Martini may suggest a chin implant to enhance your outcome from the rhinoplasty procedure. The chin implant procedure can be performed during the same surgical period as the rhinoplasty. Frequently patients will use their recovery period to further maximize their results by having a blepharoplasty.
Functionality is just as important to Dr. Martini as the appearance or aesthetics of the nose. Dr. Martini offers a new innovation in sinus surgery: in-office balloon sinuplasty. He is one of only a handful of doctors in the tri-state area qualified to perform this innovative method that requires no time off from work and does not require general anesthesia. The balloon sinuplasty is but the latest technique Dr. Martini has added to his repertoire. Drawing from his 20 years of experience, Dr. Martini employs a variety of effective techniques: some are state-of-the-art, many have stood the test of time. Endoscopic sinus surgery has been an approved technique for years and is a staple of Dr. Martini's arsenal.
With his toolkit of techniques, Dr. Martini can resolve a number of breathing dysfunctions, including septal deviation and nasal fracture. Dr. Martini also provides allergy services to help those with severe sinus disease. Proper nasal function can enhance general health and comfort, aid in sleep function, and under some conditions, increase athletic endurance. Dr. Martini routinely performs functional surgery in combination with cosmetic procedures such as rhinoplasty, sinus procedures and blepharoplasty.
Dr. Martini's consultation process includes a detailed discussion and examination to determine your desires and realistic outcomes for your procedure. Dr. Martini uses specialized imaging software to model the desired contour of the nose and to be sure the nose complements the overall facial structure and harmonizes with facial features. A refined, yet natural look is the goal, avoiding the artificial or "operated on" outcome.
