New Jersey Rhinoplasty Before and Afters

Rhinoplasty

People who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their nose and those who have a certain nose related medical problems may be able to benefit greatly from a rhinoplasty procedure. Rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure used to alter the height, length, and width of the nose. This procedure can also straighten a bent nose, change the shape of the bridge, tip, or nostrils, and change the angle between the nose and the lip. Aside from the aesthetic benefits of rhinoplasty, the procedure can also help correct breathing problems, physical trauma, and birth defects.

New Jersey Rhinoplasty: Ideal Candidates

Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty are people in good physical and emotional health who have a good understanding about the risks and benefits associated with the procedure. Potential candidates should also have clear expectations for the outcome of the procedure.

In order to ensure safety, potential candidates should also provide their surgeon with their complete medical history, including current diseases or conditions as well as any medications being used. This information helps the doctor determine the relative risks to the patient and also avoid any unnecessary complications.

New Jersey Rhinoplasty: The Procedure

Rhinoplasty procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis under a general anesthesia or local anesthetic plus a sedative and typically take between one and four hours to complete. The specific technique used for rhinoplasty will be determined on an individual basis, but can be “closed” or “open” depending on the goals of the surgery.

After the procedure, patients should expect to limit their daily activities for two to six weeks in order to recover. Rhinoplasty patients usually experience some swelling, bruising, discomfort, numbness, and related symptoms for the first week or so after surgery. These are the most common side effects of rhinoplasty procedures, although sometimes more serious complications can occur. To avoid any unnecessary complications, it is important to choose a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon. A qualified plastic surgeon will take every measure to ensure the safety of the patient and reduce the risk of any adverse reactions.
