Occasionally, a rhinoplasty is performed in conjunction with chin augmentation to obtain optimal aesthetic balance.

Rhinoplasty Nose Surgery Procedure

During a rhinoplasty nose surgery procedure, an inconspicuous incision is made on the rim of the nose and inside the nostrils. Without disturbing the soft tissue of the nose, the surgeon gently reshapes the supporting structures that caused the external imperfection.

Nose Surgery Post-Operative Care

Immediately following nose surgery, an external dressing will be positioned on the nose for five to seven days. Patients may experience some discomfort which can be managed with prescribed pain relievers and an ice pack. Swelling and discoloration of the eyes are frequently experienced and will gradually diminish.

The full benefits of a rhinoplasty will not be realized for approximately one year after the procedure since the last one to two percent of swelling disappears very gradually.

When to Have a Rhinoplasty Nose Job

Unlike many other cosmetic surgery procedures for the face, a nose job rhinoplasty is performed to correct flaws unrelated to the aging process. It can be performed as soon as the nose is fully grown, as early as 16 years of age. After age 45, a rhinoplasty can be performed, but the nasal tissues are thicker and, therefore, harder to sculpt during the procedure. No matter when a rhinoplasty is performed, patients often marvel, ''I should have had this done years ago!''
