Attend a free seminar to learn everything you've always wanted to know about rhinoplasty from the region's only board-certified, fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeon.

Rhinoplasty literally means shaping the nose. Since there is no ideal in rhinoplasty, the goal is to improve the nose, making it harmonize better with other facial features. Skin type, ethnic background, and age are important factors to be considered.

Nothing has a greater impact on how you look than the size and shape of your nose. Because the nose is the most defining characteristic of your face, a slight alteration can greatly improve your appearance. Each year, half a million men and women seek a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon to improve the appearance of their noses.

Some people are unhappy with the noses they were born with and some are unhappy with the way aging has changed their nose. For others, an injury may have distorted the nose or the goal may be improved breathing.

Grant Hamilton, MD, facial plastic surgeon at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, will present a free seminar Tuesday, May 1, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Hotel Vetro, 201 South Linn Street.

You can register in advance by calling UI Health Access, 800-777-8442, but walk-ins are also welcome. Complimentary parking is available in the Sheraton parking ramp next to Hotel Vetro. Bring your ramp ticket with you to be validated at the front desk.
