Dr. Barrera’s practice specializes in ethnic rhinoplasty; specifically, the correction of aesthetic abnormalities and nasal obstruction. During the evaluation, Dr. Barrera will assess the thickness of the skin, tip recoil, nasal spine relationship to the septum, and septal deviation or perforation. He will elicit your history of previous surgery, autoimmune disorders, and medication history. Nasal obstruction will be assessed and when necessary nasal endoscopy will be performed to evaluate for allergy, turbinate hypertrophy, chronic sinusitis, septal deflections and synechiae. Photography will be performed and when needed a morphing simulation of the nose can be performed for the patient. A surgical plan will be created and realistic goals will be discussed. In addition, chin position relative to the Gonzalez Ulloa line is addressed for patients with microgenia, micrognathia, and retrognathia.
