Nose Reshaping Rhinoplasty | Mullica Hill, NJ | Dr. Vinay S. Gundlapalli

What is Rhinoplasty Surgery?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the size, shape, and alignment of the nose. American Surgical Arts' board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in both reconstructive and cosmetic nasal techniques.

Understanding Rhinoplasty Procedures

Rhinoplasty addresses both aesthetic and functional concerns of nasal structure. The procedure can help patients who seek to:

• Reduce or augment nose size
• Correct nasal asymmetry
• Modify nasal tip or slope
• Improve breathing function
• Enhance overall facial proportion

Surgical Approach Options

Two primary rhinoplasty techniques are available: closed and open rhinoplasty. The chosen method depends on individual patient needs and surgical goals.

Ideal Candidates for Rhinoplasty

Candidates for rhinoplasty typically include individuals seeking to:

• Address cosmetic concerns about nasal appearance
• Correct structural breathing issues
• Improve facial symmetry and balance

Recovery and Expectations

Rhinoplasty recovery involves careful protection of the nose during initial healing. Patients can expect temporary swelling and bruising, with full results becoming apparent over several months.

Post-Surgical Recommendations

• Avoid strenuous activities for 3 weeks
• Use cold compresses to manage swelling
• Follow prescribed pain management protocols
