"CUTTING EDGE"
Quotes Rhinoplasty expert Dr. Geoffrey Tobias

As a focal point of the face, the nose has been subject to surgical tinkering for decades now, But the mandate today is a profile that retains its masculinity. "Men today are interested in plastic surgery that doesn't look like plastic surgery," says Geoffrey Tobias, MD., who has developed a technique he calls "closed structured rhinoplasty." The procedure entails a conservative amount of cartilage removal and is performed with microscopic internal sutures.
