Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) in Staten Island, NY

Understanding Rhinoplasty: Nose Reshaping Surgery

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a "nose job," is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose's structure. This transformative plastic surgery can address both cosmetic concerns and functional breathing issues by modifying the nose's bone, cartilage, and soft tissue.

Potential Reasons for Nose Surgery

• Reducing or increasing nose size
• Refining nasal tip shape
• Correcting nasal asymmetry
• Addressing congenital nasal defects
• Improving breathing functionality

Procedure Overview

Dr. Decorato performs rhinoplasty under general anesthesia, typically requiring one to three hours. The procedure involves precise modifications to nasal bone and cartilage, potentially using synthetic tissues or implants to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.

Candidacy Considerations

Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty must be at least fifteen years old and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. Skin thickness significantly influences the procedure's visual results, with thinner skin revealing more dramatic changes.

Recovery and Results

Post-surgical recovery involves temporary swelling and bruising, typically subsiding within two weeks. Patients can usually return to work during this period. Full rhinoplasty results become visible approximately two months after the procedure, with subtle refinements continuing for up to twelve months.

Dr. John W. Decorato emphasizes personalized surgical planning, ensuring each rhinoplasty procedure is tailored to the individual's unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
