A rhinoplasty or nose job changes the shape of the nose to improve a patient’s overall facial balance, facial profile and boosts self-confidence. Facial Cosmetic Surgery Associates has helped hundreds of patients achieve a more desirable, symmetrical, and functioning nose. Plastic surgery patients trust double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Thomas Kaniff and his team because of his rhinoplasty expertise and experience.
Good Rhinoplasty candidates achieve increased self-confidence through realistic changes in the appearance of their nose. If you are unhappy with the size and shape of your nose you may be a good candidate for this type of enhancement.
At your consultation, we will listen to your concerns regarding the appearance of your nose and will examine your nose, inside and out. We will explain the procedure that will give you the best results. Computer imaging of the nose and face helps you visualize the appearance of your new nose. Additional procedures may be recommended such as a chin implant, to improve the overall result and facial appearance. At the end of your consultation you will be quoted the costs of the procedure.
The procedure involves making precise changes to the architecture of the nose in order to improve the appearance and function of the nose. We will recommend the best rhinoplasty approach depending on the degree of changes needed and surgical difficulty. For more information please see Types of Rhinoplasty. At the completion of the surgery, a small protective adhesive dressing and splint are applied to the nose, which is removed in about one week.
Rhinoplasty surgery recovery is measured in terms of days. A splint is placed over the bridge of the nose and removed in one week. Any bruising is usually gone in a week and swelling slowly subsides. Most patients return to work and non-stressful activities a week after surgery.
