Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery to improve the appearance of the nose. Genetics play a large part of the appearance of the nose, but it can also be the result of an old injury. Rhinoplasty can be performed to decrease or increase the size of the overall nose or changes can be made to just the tip, the nostrils or the bridge.
A plastic surgeon will consult with each client on an individual basis. He will address if there are any sinus or breathing problems and what your cosmetic goals are. The surgeon will discuss your goals and tailor a procedure that is right for you.
The surgery is a same day operation. Incisions are made inside the nose so there will be no visible scars. In some circumstances, an external approach may be used with a tiny scar at the base of the nose. Your surgeon will discuss which approach is going to give you the best result. There will be some bruising and swelling after surgery. Some swelling can last for weeks following surgery. Keep in mind that it may take a few months to get the full result from the surgery.
Insurance may cover the part of the surgery to correct an old nasal fracture or breathing problems from a deviated septum. Our office staff will take care of any required insurance approvals. After your initial consultation, we will provide you with the cost of the procedure.
