Cosmetic surgery advice....

Dear Ask The Doctor: Is it possible to have a nose job with a thin maxilla bone (not diagnosed)?

Dear Terri: A thin maxilla does not completely rule out a Rhinoplasty ("nose job") surgical procedure. Rhinoplasty is a major cosmetic procedure which requires careful planning and a thorough workup prior to surgery. During this work up, which will include blood test as well as xrays, your plastic surgeon will determine if the procedure is suitable for you based on the results.
