Nose Reshaping Surgery (Rhinoplasty) | Glastonbury, Connecticut

Understanding Rhinoplasty in Connecticut

Rhinoplasty is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to alter the size and shape of the nose, enhancing facial balance and potentially improving breathing functionality. Dr. Harold E. Beam offers comprehensive nose surgery for patients throughout Glastonbury, Hartford, New Britain, and New Haven.

Why Consider Rhinoplasty?

The nose plays a crucial role in facial aesthetics. An disproportionate or asymmetrical nose can significantly impact self-confidence and overall appearance. Dr. Beam specializes in creating natural-looking results that complement your unique facial features.

Procedure Highlights

• Precise reshaping of nasal structure
• Correction of breathing difficulties
• Enhanced facial symmetry
• Personalized surgical approach

Functional and Cosmetic Rhinoplasty Options

Dr. Beam offers two primary rhinoplasty approaches tailored to patient needs:

• Cosmetic Rhinoplasty:
• Functional Rhinoplasty:

Surgical Technique

The rhinoplasty procedure involves precise surgical modifications, including cartilage removal or addition, nostril refinement, and bridge smoothing. Each surgery is customized to the patient's unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect a gradual recovery process. A nasal splint is typically worn for one week, with initial swelling and bruising subsiding within two to three weeks. Full results become apparent over several months as the nose settles into its new shape.

Recovery Guidelines

• Wear nasal splint for approximately one week
• Minimize sun exposure for six months
• Protect nose from potential trauma
• Follow post-operative care instructions carefully

Rhinoplasty Candidacy

Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty are individuals in good general health with realistic expectations. Dr. Beam conducts comprehensive consultations to determine the most appropriate surgical approach for each patient.

Cost Considerations

Rhinoplasty costs vary based on individual treatment plans. While cosmetic procedures are typically not covered by insurance, Dr. Beam's practice offers flexible financing options through CareCredit and Prosper Healthcare Lending.
