Rhinoplasty

A rhinoplasty is a common surgical procedure used to either improve the appearance of the nose or the functionality of it. Also known as a “nose job,” the rhinoplasty can provide several benefits. It can change the width, size, shape, profile, and tip of the nose. It can help with nasal deviation, improving symmetry, and address nostrils that are of a cosmetic concern. A qualified plastic surgeon can assist patients in making beneficial changes to the appearance of their nose with this surgical procedure.

A rhinoplasty candidate is one that is in good general and physical health and is realistic about the expectations of the procedure. Patients must be at least 13 years of age and their facial features must be fully developed.

The procedure is done by a qualified surgeon at The New York Aesthetic Consultants and is often beneficial to patients. Individuals who are undergoing this procedure are required to speak to Dr. Shelton and his team during an initial consultation visit to determine if this is the best treatment for them. Discussing the advantages and concerns of the surgery can help the doctor lead his patients through the process and find out if rhinoplasty is the most beneficial way to address one’s appearance. During this initial consultation appointment, an examination may be done, as well as x-rays to understand the scope of the concerns.

Patients must be well aware of the healing process that takes place after the procedure. Several months are needed for swelling to be reduced and the nose to improve its shape. However, once the procedure has been completed and the healing has taken place, the results are permanent.
