Achieve Your Dream Nose with Nose Reshaping

Types of Rhinoplasty

Depending on your goals, rhinoplasty can provide both:

Cosmetic Benefits:

Adjusts nostril size and symmetry
Corrects asymmetry from previous injury
Reduces humps or refines the nasal tip
Reshapes the nose for improved facial balance

Functional Benefits:

Addresses congenital structural issues
Corrects a deviated septum or nasal obstruction
Improves airflow for easier breathing
Reduces snoring and sleep disturbances

There are several different types of rhinoplasties, including:

Traditional Rhinoplasty: Primarily focuses on reshaping the nose for cosmetic enhancement, improving proportions, symmetry, and facial harmony.

Revision Rhinoplasty: Performed to correct or refine the results of a previous rhinoplasty, addressing aesthetic or functional concerns.

Septoplasty: A procedure that straightens a deviated septum, improving airflow and relieving breathing difficulties.

Functional Rhinoplasty: Addresses structural issues, such as nasal collapse or airway obstruction, to restore proper nasal function.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty: Enhances the nose’s appearance while maintaining natural ethnic characteristics, ensuring a balanced and culturally authentic result.

Consultation

The Plastic Surgery Center offers rhinoplasty consultations at all of our locations. During your consultation, the surgeon will discuss cosmetic concerns and any breathing difficulties or medical conditions before recommending a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Patients also have the option to view computer-assisted photographs of potential surgical outcomes to better assess expectations.

What to Expect

During a rhinoplasty procedure, one of our expert surgeons will typically make a small incision inside the nostril rims and trim extra cartilage from the nasal bump or round the tip. The surgeon will narrow the flattened bridge by carefully cutting and resetting the nasal bones and then perform final shaping and contouring before stitching the incisions.

Depending on the surgical technique, a splint may be placed on the bridge of your nose to hold the tissues in place until stabilized. The splint will protect your nose while you sleep and shield it from accidental bumps.

Patients may also have a small triangular bandage beneath the tip of their nose. Packing or soft internal splints are sometimes used inside the nostrils, especially if work has been done to improve your breathing.

Minor bruising and swelling are relieved by pain medication and usually subside within several days to a week. You’ll be asked to wear a nose splint during sleep for the first several weeks and to keep your head elevated for the first 24 to 48 hours. Stitches are typically removed at your one-week follow-up visit, and at that time, most patients are able to return to work or other routine activities. You should avoid exercising, wearing glasses, and sun exposure for the first four to six weeks.

Recovery &
Results

The goal of rhinoplasty is to correct a medical condition or bring the nose in harmony with the rest of the face. Results can take up to one year or more to develop fully, but many patients see noticeable change well before that time. Swelling typically starts to resolve within one week. In three to four weeks, 80% of the swelling is gone. The remainder of the swelling, often in the tip or front portion of the nose, is further reduced in the next six to 12 months.

To maximize both recovery and results, closely follow your surgeon’s directions and attend follow-up appointments.
