Rhinoplasty/Nose Job

Rhinoplasty, more commonly known as a nose job, is one of the most common and sought-after cosmetic procedures.  This procedure is done to reshape, reduce, or augment a person's nose.  Because the nose is the focal point of the face, it's understandable that many people want their nose to look as perfect as possible and to enhance the natural beauty of their face.  After receiving a nose job, many people who were once self-conscious about their looks are pleased to discover a new-found self confidence.

Procedure Description:
Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure done to improve the profile of one's nose.  There are a variety of reasons people seek nose jobs.  Some people are simply unhappy with their god-given looks.  Others might have broken their nose in an accident or while playing sports.  Sometimes a nose job is necessary to improve breathing problems or correct a deformity.

A Rhinoplasty involves reducing the size of the nose by removing and sculpting the nasal tissue.  Although the desired result is unique to each and every patient, the goal of a Rhinoplasty is to improve the nose aesthetically so that it looks natural and creates harmony with other features on the face.

Pre-Procedure:
During your consultation, your anatomy and concerns about your nose will be discussed. The surgery will then be customized to enhance your facial features.

Post-Procedure:
The surgery can be done with or without an overnight stay. You will need to wear a splint for one week and the nasal packing will be removed the day after surgery.  Swelling and bruising subsides greatly in one week, but the final reshaping occurs over a few months.

Millions of men and women throughout the country have undergone Rhinoplasty to improve the overall appearance of their face, correct a deformity, or fix a breathing problem.  If you are interested in learning more about this procedure, please contact Plastic Surgery Affiliates today to schedule a consultation with Nashville plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Hueneke.
