Nose Reshaping Surgery (Rhinoplasty) Raleigh, NY | Raleigh Plastic Surgery Center

Understanding Rhinoplasty: Comprehensive Nose Reshaping

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure designed to correct nasal deformities and enhance aesthetic appearance. This intricate surgical approach typically involves manipulating nasal bone and cartilage structures to achieve a more balanced facial profile.

Procedure Overview

Rhinoplasty can address multiple nasal concerns, including:

• Reducing prominent nasal humps
• Refining nasal tip shape
• Correcting asymmetrical nasal structures
• Addressing breathing difficulties

Surgical Technique

Raleigh Plastic Surgery Center performs rhinoplasty under general anesthesia in a certified operating suite. The procedure typically involves strategic bone and cartilage modifications through carefully placed internal and external incisions.

Surgical Approach

Surgical techniques may include:

• Controlled bone fracturing to narrow nasal bridge
• Cartilage removal or reshaping
• Precise suturing for optimal nasal contour

Recovery and Expectations

Rhinoplasty recovery generally spans one to two weeks, with initial healing allowing return to most daily activities. Patients can expect some swelling and potential discomfort during the initial recovery period.

Recovery Highlights

• Nasal packing for 2-3 days post-surgery
• Protective nasal splint for approximately one week
• Gradual refinement of nasal shape over 6-9 months

Insurance and Functional Considerations

Insurance may cover rhinoplasty procedures related to demonstrable breathing difficulties. Typically, documentation from an independent physician is required to substantiate medical necessity.
