About Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty – made famous by the entertainment industry with the term "nose job" – is our most popular surgical procedure. While rhinoplasty can give your nose a new size or shape, it's also used to correct a number of physical issues, including:

• Difficulty breathing
• Birth defect
• Injury

If you're a mature adult who is wondering if rhinoplasty is right for you, schedule a consultation – we'd be happy to talk about your options. With rhinoplasty, we can:

• Change the sloping angle of your nose
• Correct defects at the point from the tip to your upper lip
• Narrow or widen the width of your nose
• Increase or reduce the size or length of your nose
• Correct bumps and other issues at the bridge of the nose
• Change the shape of the nostrils
• Enlarge or reduce nasal passages

Although rhinoplasty is usually performed on an outpatient basis, it's a very visible procedure – so give yourself time to heal. After the surgery, you'll feel discomfort, puffiness, and pain in your nasal area. The first day in particular will be a bit uncomfortable; we recommend that you stay in bed, with your head elevated.

Patients with vision problems can wear contact lenses during their recovery, but glasses can interfere with the healing.
