Dr. J. David Kriet and Dr. Clinton D. Humphrey specialize in facial plastic surgery and use rhinoplasty to ease breathing and improve the proportional balance of the face.
Kansas City, KS – The board-certified surgeons of the University of Kansas Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery have spent their careers focusing on reshaping and reconstructing the delicate features of the face. In addition to offering a wide range of reconstructive procedures, Dr. J. David Kriet and Dr. Clinton D. Humphrey also perform cosmetic surgeries to address the aesthetic concerns of their patients. Rhinoplasty, also known as nose sculpting surgery, is a popular procedure for their Kansas City facial plastic surgery patients who wish to improve the harmony of their facial features and/or alleviate nasal breathing issues.
A recent blog post on the practice’s website – titled, Who Can Benefit From Rhinoplasty Surgery? – informs prospective rhinoplasty patients that there are actually two main focuses of the procedure, depending upon the needs of the patient. Most people know rhinoplasty can be used to address an aesthetic concern a person might have about the appearance of their nose; however, the blog entry also highlights that nose sculpting surgery can also be used to restore and/or improve functionality by correcting a birth defect or previous fracture. In addition, Drs. Kriet and Humphrey note that a secondary procedure known as revision rhinoplasty can be employed to fix problems that were not satisfactorily addressed by a previous rhinoplasty performed in the past.
According to a follow-up blog post titled, Rhinoplasty Surgery: An Overview, “Since choosing to undergo rhinoplasty surgery is a personal decision regarding such a delicate part of the face, [Drs. Kriet and Humphrey] spend time to get to know each patient and their unique cosmetic concerns during the consultation process.” Taking this extra time helps the Kansas City facial plastic surgeons better meet their patients’ aesthetic and functional expectations for rhinoplasty surgery.
