Benefits of Nose Surgery

A custom rhinoplasty can create subtle yet transformative changes that enhance your natural facial features. The procedure can bring balance to your appearance, improve nasal function, and boost self-confidence by addressing various aesthetic concerns.

Conditions Addressed by Rhinoplasty

• Overly large or wide nose
• Prominent nose tip
• Hanging or asymmetrical nose tip
• Nasal bridge hump
• Disproportionate nostril size
• Flat or wide nose bridge
• Broken nose correction
• Deviated septum

Rhinoplasty Procedure Details

North Shore Cosmetic Surgery performs rhinoplasty under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Surgeons utilize either open or closed surgical techniques to reshape cartilage and bone, creating a more balanced and attractive nasal profile. The procedure involves precise modifications to reduce, reposition, or augment nasal structures while carefully redraping the skin over the corrected framework.

Recovery and Expectations

Following rhinoplasty, patients are monitored in a private recovery area before being discharged. Initial recovery typically involves bruising and swelling around the nose and eyes, which can be managed with ice packs and prescribed pain medication. Most patients require approximately two weeks for initial healing, with complete resolution of swelling potentially taking several months.

Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty Option

For patients seeking minor nasal refinements, North Shore Cosmetic Surgery offers nonsurgical rhinoplasty using injectable fillers like Restylane. This alternative can address small imperfections, adjust nasal symmetry, and enhance nasal contours without surgical intervention.

Candidate Requirements

Ideal rhinoplasty candidates include women and men whose facial growth is complete, typically around ages 13-16. Candidates must have realistic expectations and a clear understanding of potential aesthetic changes to their facial profile.
