Dra. Juliana Altavilla
If you are considering rhinoplasty in Belo Horizonte, the first consultation is one of the most important stages of the process.
It goes beyond the aesthetic analysis of the nose, assessing anatomical, functional, and facial aspects that guide surgical planning.
Understanding your main concern
Each patient arrives with different perceptions and expectations.
A dorsal hump, a drooping tip, asymmetries, nasal width, and breathing changes are some concerns that may be discussed. Understanding them helps align expectations and possibilities.
Assessing nasal structure
During the consultation, physical assessment examines nasal anatomy in detail.
Nasal bones, cartilage, skin thickness, symmetry, and tip support are considered. These characteristics directly influence planning.
Assessing breathing function
As an otolaryngologist, respiratory analysis is also part of the consultation.
Not every concern is only aesthetic. Internal structural changes may affect airflow and breathing quality.
Aligning expectations
Every surgery has anatomical possibilities and limitations.
The assessment discusses goals, expectations, surgical possibilities, and individualized planning while respecting each patient’s natural characteristics.
The first step toward a safe decision
The decision to have rhinoplasty should be made with information, safety, and confidence.
Dr. Juliana Altavilla focuses on aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty in Belo Horizonte, offering individualized assessment and personalized surgical planning.
Conclusion
The first consultation brings together the information needed to understand which approach may make sense for each case. It is the first step toward a careful, well-informed decision.
