Welcome to Dr. Mario Gerardo Tolentino's Website

 

Overview

Dr. Tolentino customizes each procedure based upon your unique anatomical features, facial structure, and desires. His goal is to create a natural appearing nose that promotes facial harmony.

In addition to its beauty, the nose is a functional organ that must allow for the unobstructed passage of air. This must be kept in mind anytime rhinoplasty is performed. Too often, reduction rhinoplasty techniques, once popular, resulted in nasal collapse and difficulty breathing. Unfortunately, this can still occur if the nose is only treated aesthetically and its functional nature is ignored.

Dr. Tolentino always focuses on creating both an attractive and well functioning nose. He is an expert at both primary rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty surgery performed to correct cosmetic and functional nasal deficits. He believes that rhinoplasty is the ultimate fusion of form and function, art and science.

Frequently asked questions about Rhinoplasty:

 

1. What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure which is usually performed by an otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeon, maxillofacial surgeon, or plastic surgeon in order to improve the function (reconstructive surgery) or the appearance (cosmetic surgery) of a human nose. Rhinoplasty is also commonly called "nose reshaping" or "nose job". Rhinoplasty can be performed to meet aesthetic goals or for reconstructive purposes to correct trauma, birth defects or breathing problems. Rhinoplasty can be combined with other surgical procedures such as chin augmentation to enhance the aesthetic results.

 

2. How is Rhinoplasty performed?
Rhinoplasty begins when the Rhinoplasty surgeon makes an incision either inside the nose or across the skin that separates the nostrils (this skin is called the columella). Without the need of making any exterior incisions, the surgeon reaches the cartilage and bone located under the skin, he may rasp or trim them with special instruments to give the nose the desired shape and size. In more complex cases, where deeper modifications are needed, it may be necessary to perform a little cut across the columella (the tissue that divides the nostrils) to access the bone. The shape and width of the nostrils may also be modified. This is done by means of two incisions at the base of the nose wings, these incisions become imperceptible soon after the Rhinoplasty surgery.

 

3. What does a typical rhinoplasty consultation entail?

A consult with Dr. Gerry Tolentino is your chance to meet him and discuss what you want out of your rhinoplasty surgery. he will discuss your goals with you and will explain what can be achieved realistically. A good doctor will not just slim your nose or shorten it. He will take into account your intire face and bone structure to see what type of nose would suit you best, there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to this procedure. A Rhinoplasty is as individual as you are.

 

4. Do you perform this surgery often?
