Rhinoplasty (Nose )

Procedure: Surgical refinement of the size, contour, and profile of the nose through incisions made on the inside of the nostrils leaving no visible scars. The tip can be made smaller, a hump can be removed, and the nose can be made straighter and narrower. If needed, the nostrils can be narrowed using a separate incision along the nostril on the outside of the nose. Inner nasal work can be done to improve breathing.

Length of treatment: 2 to 3 hours in our accredited office surgical suite.

Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with monitored IV sedation.

Side effects: Bruising, swelling, mouth breathing until packing is out, numbness, drainage.

Risks/Complications: Infection, bleeding, asymmetry, skin loss (rare), permanent numbness, scarring, unacceptable result.

Recovery: 10 to 14 days to return to sedentary work. Advance activity as tolerated.

Permanence: Permanent results with normal aging changes.
