Nose Job (Rhinoplasty) Queens, NY | Marc Everett, MD, FACS Plastic Surgery

Understanding Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to correct and enhance nasal appearance and function. This transformative procedure addresses various aesthetic and structural concerns with precision and expertise.

Common Rhinoplasty Concerns

• Nasal asymmetry
• Nasal humps or depressions
• Large or wide nostrils
• Oversized nasal bridge
• Hooked or drooping nasal tips
• Trauma-related nasal deformities

Rhinoplasty Procedure Options

Closed Rhinoplasty Technique

Closed rhinoplasty, or endonasal rhinoplasty, involves internal incisions that eliminate visible scarring. This technique is ideal for patients requiring minimal nasal adjustments and offers a less invasive approach with shorter recovery times.

Open Rhinoplasty Technique

Open rhinoplasty utilizes a small external incision between the nostrils, providing surgeons enhanced visibility and precision. This method allows for more comprehensive nasal restructuring and is often recommended for complex nasal modifications.

Recovery and Results

Rhinoplasty recovery typically spans one to two weeks. Patients can expect initial results immediately, with final outcomes developing over six to twelve months as swelling subsides. Most individuals return to normal activities within two weeks, with full healing occurring gradually.

Key Recovery Considerations

• One week off work recommended
• Avoid strenuous activities for 2-3 weeks
• Temporary side effects include swelling and mild discomfort
• Surgical splint removed after one week
