• A disproportionate nose

• Excessively flared nostrils
• Crooked or off-center nasal bridge

Those who might not be the best candidates for a nose job include:

Rhinoplasty is usually performed as an outpatient procedure with the patient under local or general anesthesia. Each patient's surgical experience will differ due to their individual needs and goals. There are a number of approaches and techniques that can be used during nose surgery, including open and closed rhinoplasty. When augmenting the nose, the surgeon can take cartilage or soft tissues from deep within the nose or the grafts may be harvested from other areas of the body such as the ear or scalp temporal fascia.

Following surgery, patients can expect to have swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes for approximately 2 weeks. We take special measures to reduce swelling and discomfort with a special blend of local anesthetics and anti inflammation medications. Patients will need to keep their head above their chest to help improve swelling. Congestion is also common following rhinoplasty  and improves over a few weeks. We do not use packing inside the  nose in most cases. . After removing the splints, patients will be able to see and admire their newly shaped and contoured nose.

The nose is often considered a focal point of our face, which is why it is important to ensure that your nose complements your overall facial aesthetic. For patients whose nose crooks one way or the other or those suffering from injuries to the nose, rhinoplasty may be a good option. We strive to give every patient the look they desire with advanced techniques and surgical options to make sure your new nose meets your cosmetic goals.
