Nose Surgery

Considered one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures, hundreds of thousands of Americans undergo nose surgery (rhinoplasty) each year. The overall appearance of the face can be significantly improved through rhinoplasty because the size, shape and bridge of the nose can be altered.

Rhinoplasty surgery can be used to either reduce or enlarge the size of the nose. The soft cartilage under the nose can be manipulated and sculpted to produce significant aesthetic enhancements. The surgeon can gain access to the cartilage in the nose by either entering through the nostrils or by making an incision on the outside of the nose. Nose surgery is typically performed in a surgeon’s office on an outpatient basis, reducing the amount of time and surgical expense. Usually only local anesthesia is required during the surgery.

Nose Surgery Topics

• Rhinoplasty Procedure
• Rhinoplasty Side Effect & Risks
• Rhinoplasty Recovery

The face is generally more sensitive to invasive surgery, therefore, rhinoplasty is usually a bit more difficult to recover from than other cosmetic surgical procedures. It may take weeks before swelling and bruising are gone from the face. During recovery time, the doctor will require that you wear bandages and dressings. Within a few months, the nose should be fully healed. Patients should be patient when recovering from nose surgery and realize that real results will not be seen for weeks following surgery.

Rhinoplasty is an involved process and patients who are considering nose surgery should be fully informed about rhinoplasty costs and the time investment required for this procedure. Only patients with realistic expectations and good physical/mental condition should consider it. Patients considering nose surgery should be well-informed and have realistic expectations. Whatever your situation, with a trained, certified and experience cosmetic surgeon, you should expect a significant improvement in your appearance.
