Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)
Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) is among the most popular plastic surgery procedures performed in the United States. Through rhinoplasty, a skilled plastic surgeon can reduce or increase the size of the nose, remove an unwanted hump, reshape the tip or the bridge, narrow the width of the nostrils, or change the angle between the nose and the upper lip. Rhinoplasty provides an improved balance between the nose and other facial features. In addition to these enhancements to appearance, it can also be undertaken to effectively improve a patient’s ability to breathe. We take great care to achieve a natural result and to avoid the “surgical” look.

RHINOPLASTY – BEFORE & AFTER
Rhinoplasty FAQ
Who is a candidate for Rhinoplasty (nose job) surgery?
You may wish to consider rhinoplasty/nose reshaping to address aesthetic concerns and/or respiratory issues. The most common reason for seeking rhinoplasty is cosmetic, where an individual is unhappy with the general size and shape of the nose and desires it to be brought in harmonious balance with other facial features and proportions. Some patients may have an abnormal appearance of the nose as a result of birth defects, injury, or disease.
What is Rhinoplasty surgery and recovery like?
The rhinoplasty procedure is done on an outpatient basis under MAC (Monitored Anesthesia Care).
STANDARD RHINOPLASTY: Incisions are made inside the nostrils. The nasal bones, cartilage, and soft tissues are reshaped to improve the external contour.
OPEN RHINOPLASTY: Frequently used for difficult or larger noses. Involves one external incision across the columella (strut between the nostrils). Bones, cartilage, and soft tissues are reshaped under direct vision.
TIP-PLASTY: If only the nasal tip is abnormal, it may be corrected with either a standard or external (open) approach.
Large nostrils may be reduced through tiny incisions at the outer base of the nostrils with either type of rhinoplasty.
After rhinoplasty, a patient goes home with an external cast or splint in place. The nose may be packed for 24-48 hours. The cast or splint is usually removed in 7-10 days. Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. Majority of swelling and bruising subsides progressively over 2-4 weeks. External sutures (if any) are removed in 4-6 days. Internal sutures dissolve. Semifinal result is evident in 3 months. Final result is evident in 12-14 months.
Additional procedures that may enhance the result is a chin enlargement. If you need to improve breathing, correction of a deviated septum (Septoplasty) may also be appropriate
