What Is Cosmetic Rhinoplasty?

Cosmetic rhinoplasty is nose surgery performed to improve the look of the patient’s nose and face. Depending on your needs, our plastic surgeons could use this cosmetic surgery to address concerns about:

• The shape of the bridge of your nose
• The size or shape of the tip of your nose
• The size or span of the nostrils
• The angle between the nose and upper lip

Our facial plastic surgeon uses high-tech computer programs to plan these surgical procedures, ensuring the patient gets to see their facial appearance with their new facial features before they undergo nasal surgery.

In addition to cosmetic procedures, our surgeons also perform revision rhinoplasty and nose surgery related to broken bones, breathing difficulty, or other medical needs.

Why Do People Get Cosmetic Rhinoplasty?

There are numerous reasons why people might get nasal surgery. Many of them are cosmetic. Undergoing facial surgery and addressing unwanted features can greatly improve confidence and quality of life. Some reasons why our patients choose to undergo cosmetic rhinoplasty include:

• Improves facial aesthetics: One of the most common reasons why patients request facial plastic surgery is because there is something they do not like about their appearance. Altering the nose often addresses this issue.
• Reduces nasal size: A nose that is not proportionate to the rest of the face can cause issues with confidence. Patients often discuss their unhappiness with the size of their nose during their rhinoplasty consultation.
• Alters nasal shape: Many people consider plastic surgery procedures to alter the shape of their nose, either the bridge or the tip. Because the nose is one of the prominent features of the face, the shape can significantly affect appearance. This may also be necessary to aid nasal breathing under some circumstances.

You will likely have pain and swelling in the first days after surgery. Headaches are also common. Our doctors prescribe or recommend pain medication to help alleviate these symptoms. Post-surgery, you may not be able to breathe out of your nose for several days, depending on how the nose structures were affected by the procedure.

In general, most rhinoplasty patients can return to work and most activities within seven to ten days. However, this also depends on the rhinoplasty techniques used and the healing of the nasal bones. Sometimes, returning to more strenuous activities such as exercise could take three to four weeks.

You will likely have several appointments to see your doctor during the first few weeks following your procedure. These visits will monitor your healing and determine if any revision surgeries will be necessary. Post-surgery, the swelling could take up to a year to dissipate completely.
