Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty Description

Rhinoplasty is consistently one of the most requested facial surgeries among patients, due to the fact that the nose is one of the most noticeable facial features. The benefits of rhinoplasty are substantial. Undergoing nose surgery can correct the proportions of your nose for a more symmetrical appearance. Additionally, volume can be added or removed from your nose to enhance definition and attain youthful-looking facial contours that accentuate your entire profile. Those with breathing impairments caused by trauma or a deviated septum can also benefit from nasal surgery. Our rhinoplasty surgeons are experienced in both "open" and "closed" rhinoplasty to suit each patient's specific needs and desires. Additionally, our specialists can perform revision rhinoplasty to correct previous nose surgery procedures. At Bassin Center For Plastic Surgery, we are dedicated to providing natural-looking results while minimizing downtime and procedure length during rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty Procedure

Rhinoplasty is an outpatient procedure performed within a 1-3 hour window, on average. Anesthesia is required and patients go home the same day. Bruising and swelling is expected after your nose surgery and will begin to improve within two weeks. You may be required to keep your head elevated immediately following your procedure in order to control swelling. Many patients return to work after 1 week and begin to resume many of their daily activities after 2 weeks. The specifics of your nose surgery will depend on several factors, including your desired results and your nasal structure. Our rhinoplasty experts specialize in "open" and "closed" rhinoplasty procedures. During your closed rhinoplasty procedure, small incisions will be made inside your nose to correct facial asymmetries. The same can be expected during an open rhinoplasty procedure, along with an additional incision along the columella—the skin between your nostrils found at the base of the nose. Our surgeons will discuss whether open or closed rhinoplasty is the best option for you.
