The nose is a prominent feature of the face and often one of the first things we notice when looking at someone.

What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is a popular cosmetic surgical procedure used to improve the shape, size, and overall appearance of the nose. Although the surgery is primarily performed for cosmetic reasons, rhinoplasty can also be used to correct certain breathing problems, such as a deviated septum.
What Should I Expect During the Surgery?
Before you undergo rhinoplasty, the first step of the process will be to have a consultation with one of our skilled plastic surgeons. During this meeting, the doctor will talk with you about the rhinoplasty procedure and answer all of your questions. They will also examine your nose and ask you about what exactly you’re hoping to achieve with the surgery. If you decide to move forward with the procedure, your surgeon will work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan that will help you achieve the precise nasal appearance you desire.
Typically, rhinoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure using either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with IV sedation. Once the anesthesia has taken effect, your plastic surgeon will begin by making small incisions within the nose (the specific incisions will depend on which type of rhinoplasty is being performed). The doctor will then adjust and remove cartilage and/or bone as needed per your unique treatment plan. When your desired changes have been made, your surgeon will close the incisions with sutures and apply bandages to the area. In total, rhinoplasty typically takes between 90 minutes and three hours to complete. You should be able to return home a couple of hours after your surgery, but you’ll need someone else to drive you.
