The Body Beautiful Surgeon

Massachusetts cosmetic surgery expert, Richard A. Moss M.D., makes patient safety a primary concern at all times. “Patient safety is an issue that patients may not specifically ask about, but many of their questions involve this issue. In fact unless there has been a recent incident of complications from cosmetic surgery highlighted in the press (usually someone famous, usually Hollywood), most patients prefer to talk about other topics related to their surgery,” states Dr. Moss.

Boston Rhinoplasty Specialist on Benefits of
Combination Rhinoplasty/Chin Implant Surgery

Rhinoplasty surgery is the facial surgery that Dr. Moss performs most frequently. For patients considering rhinoplasty, Boston Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Richard A. Moss suggests that patients also examine their chin. Rhinoplasty patients also find that the visual prominence of their nose is often affected by the weakness of their chin.

When someone has an aquiline nose, i.e., a nose that is downward turning like an eagle’s beak, together with a weak chin, correcting both problems can give a result that is very much better than could be achieved with either procedure alone. An example of a patient with this problem is shown below. This combined surgery is done as an outpatient basis under general anesthesia (you’re asleep) and takes about 2 1/4 hours to complete.
