Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)

Many people arrive to our Manhattan and New Jersey offices wanting to change the way their nose looks. In fact, rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most commonly requested plastic surgery procedures among our patients in the Manhattan and New Jersey area. Through rhinoplasty, our surgeons can reduce or increase nose size as well as change the shape of the tip or bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between the nose and upper lip. They can also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve breathing problems such as a deviated septum.

Nasal surgery, or rhinoplasty, can address the nasal hump, tip, and functional nasal breathing problems.

During surgery, the nasal bump and bulbous or round tip is precisely trimmed.

After the nasal hump is trimmed, the resultant flattened bridge needs to be narrowed. This is performed by carefully cutting (not breaking) the nasal bones.

The final shaping and contouring is then performed.

With time, the incisions usually are completely inconspicuous.

Open rhinoplasty requires small incisions in the skin of the nose. After healing, these incisions are usually undetectable.

Airway problems can often be improved, and a deviated or bent septum is straightened.

A nasal splint is worn for about one week.

The final result should be a natural appearance, well tailored to your other facial features. The ultimate result should be total facial harmony.

When our surgeon performs a rhinoplasty procedure on one of our Manhattan or New Jersey area patients, he makes small incisions around the nostril rims, precisely trims extra cartilage from the nasal bump or the round tip, then he narrows the flattened bridge by carefully cutting and resetting the nasal bones. The surgeon then performs the final shaping and contouring before stitching closed the incisions. We have witnessed dramatic results among our rhinoplasty patients here in Manhattan and New Jersey as well as among our patients who come to us from around the globe.
