Leading the Valley in Rhinoplasty Surgery

Dr. David Hecht has a special interest in rhinoplasty. His goal with each patient is to aesthetically and strategically manage "Form and Function" of the nose. His dual training in Facial Plastic Surgery and Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery makes him uniquely qualified. Dr. Hecht trained with two world - renowned facial plastic surgeons, Dr. Dean Toriumi and Dr. Eugene Tardy putting Dr. Hecht at the forefront of rhinoplasty surgery. Dr. Hecht’s reputation and prestigious training have earned him patient referrals from other plastic surgeons and otolaryngologists throughout the state. Dr. Hecht enjoys teaching the latest techniques in rhinoplasty and is a mentor to his peers for challenging cases.

Dr. Hecht's approach to rhinoplasty is not only cosmetic but functional. The nose serves a purpose in healthy breathing. Any obstruction whether from birth, injury, or previous surgery can be problematic to anyone. Dr. Hecht focuses on conserving and reshaping cartilage when possible rather than concentrating on excision. By meticulously preserving the nasal structures and using diligent graft work, Dr. Hecht is able to help prevent nasal collapse and breathing difficulties, minimizing the need for revision surgery. Cosmetically, Dr. Hecht focuses on the entire shape of the nose and offers realistic recommendations for overall nasal and facial balance. Dr. Hecht prefers a natural non-operated look focusing on realistic expectations and openly discussing goals, benefits and limitations prior to surgery.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is regarded as one of the most difficult and challenging of all plastic surgical procedures, as well as having one of the highest revision rates. On occasion, revision surgery may be required following rhinoplasty. However, careful selection of a board-certified surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty experience, such as Dr. Hecht, can increase the likelihood of a favorable outcome.
