Huntingdon Valley’s Joseph DiBello, MD, FACS, was recently featured in a Digital Journal article about the benefits of rhinoplasty, otherwise known as a “nose job.”

Dr. DiBello notes that rhinoplasty is among the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the U.S., as the procedure not only enhances a patient’s appearance, but can also correct functional issues such as breathing or congestion.

“Rhinoplasty is extremely customizable,” he said. “A highly qualified plastic surgeon will tailor the surgery to suit the unique anatomy of a patient’s face.”

According to Dr. DiBello, a professionally performed rhinoplasty can:  

• Create a natural, more flattering nose shape
• Decrease or increase the shape of the nostrils and/or tip
• Straighten a crooked nose
• Reduce humps or bumps
• Improve the symmetry of the face 
• Create an appearance more in tune with the patient’s cultural background (e.g., African-American rhinoplasty, Asian rhinoplasty)
