Thousands of people seek cosmetic consultation to refine and enhance the proportions of their noses every year. Some of these people just want their noses to look perfect with other facial features, whereas for others, a birth defect or an injury may have distorted the shape of the nose, and/or caused breathing difficulties.

Since the nose is a major feature of your face, the perfect shape, and size make all the difference in your overall appearance. When planning a nose job, your plastic surgeon will consider your facial features, the structure of your nose, and the desired result.

The nose is composed of bone, cartilage, and skin. This surgical procedure can alter these tissues to enhance your nose profile and make your nose appear in perfect proportion with your other facial features.

Rhinoplasty: What You Need to Know

Rhinoplasty surgery involves altering the shape, size, and proportions of your nose about other facial features for cosmetic or medical reasons, sometimes both. The surgery may be carried out to correct breathing difficulties or nasal deformities that have come about as a birth defect or due to injury.

Preparing for the Surgery

To prepare you for the surgical procedure in New York City, your surgeon may recommend you to:

Stop taking certain medications at least two weeks before surgery until complete recovery, especially medications that contain ibuprofen or aspirin, as these may increase bleeding. Once you’re scheduled for the surgery, only take medications that are prescribed by your doctor.
Quit smoking at least four weeks before surgery until you’re healed completely, as smoking impedes the process of healing and increases the odds of potential infections
Have someone drive you home afterward, as it would not be safe for you to drive yourself
Have someone at home to care for you for at least one week as you recover from surgery

Trust the healing process and you will not be disappointed. Thank you again to you and your team!”

How Rhinoplasty Is Performed

Nose reshaping surgery is usually carried out as an outpatient procedure, which means you’ll have to stay overnight in the hospital after the surgery. The surgical procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia so patients can feel comfortable during the surgery.

During the surgery, incisions will be made. Closed rhinoplasty involves incisions made inside the nostrils. During open rhinoplasty, incisions may be made across the tip of the nose. The right incision method for you will be discussed during the consultation.

Even a very small correction can make a huge difference in overall facial appearance. Most patients report little or no pain after surgery, and any discomfort that may be experienced after surgery can be handled with pain medication.

Resuming Normal Activities after a Nose Job

After a nose job, Dr. Hoschander may ask you to wear a splint to provide support to your nose. The healing process may last for up to three to four months depending upon your case. The final shape of your nose will become apparent once it has healed completely.

You may resume normal activities within two to four weeks of the procedure. Dr. Hoschander will be able to provide more information regarding the length of the recovery period and how to care for your nose after surgery.

Rhinoplasty Cost

While the cost of functional rhinoplasty may be covered by a patient’s health insurance provider, the price of cosmetic rhinoplasty is not typically covered. The exact techniques utilized, the overall time required to perform the procedure, and many other factors determine the cost of cosmetic rhinoplasty.

The Consultation

Finding the best rhinoplasty surgeon for you means arranging a consultation to discuss the procedure. If you’re considering getting a nose job, you will need to set up an appointment with plastic surgeon Dr. Hoschander in New York City and discuss the details of your case.

Examine you physically. The nose may be analyzed and assessed carefully from the inside and the outside, as this may play a critical role in determining the impact of nose surgery on your breathing and overall facial appearance.
Speak to you about what you should expect from the surgery. Most people shy away from discussing their appearance. However, it is important that you openly discuss your case with your doctor and talk about your goals for the surgery.
