Individuals who are unhappy with the appearance of their noses can benefit from nose surgery. Nose surgery can reduce or increase the size of the nose, narrow the nostrils, change the shape of the nasal tip, adjust the bridge, and even alter the angle between the nose and upper lip. Rhinoplasty can transform a nose that detracts from your facial aesthetic to one that enhances it and improves balance, proportion and harmony.
Men and women who have nasal defects, such as congenital deformities, can enhance nasal appearance, structure, and confidence with rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty can also correct injuries that may have occurred due to athletic activities or accidents. In the experienced hands of our plastic surgeons, Dr. Daniel Rousso and Dr. Austin Adams, even significant unsightly deformities or injuries can be corrected with nose surgery. They have solutions for even the most complex cases.
Those who suffer from nasal breathing problems can relieve their ailments with nose surgery. These problems are often the result of a deviated nasal septum. Through rhinoplasty, the structures of the nose can be manipulated to correct a deviated septum and restore open airways. This can enable you to breathe through your nose with improved ease after your surgery.
Thanks to you I feel free and complete again. There is no way you could come close to comprehending what a positive impact the surgical procedure, the kind, special interest and the outstanding results are having on my life!
Dr. Rousso and Dr. Adams use the latest facial plastic surgery techniques and the most advanced technologies with each rhinoplasty they perform. Every case is unique so our plastic surgeons use the appropriate combination of techniques to suit each patient’s individual characteristics for the best possible results. This allows our doctors deliver the most natural outcome for each patient.
Anesthesia is administered in preparation for the surgery. Once in effect, your plastic surgeon begins the operation by hiding incisions inside the nose to minimize scarring. Through these incisions, the structure of the nose is adjusted according to your desires expressed in your consultation. A splint is then applied to help your nose maintain its shape. Upon completion, a dissolvable suture is also applied to stabilize the septum so that you will not need any nasal packing.
A closed rhinoplasty is reserved for those who need minor adjustments. This technique is used to hide incisions within the nose but can sometimes limit what is possible with rhinoplasty. For this reason, open rhinoplasty may be more appropriate for some patients.
Each patient is administered anesthesia in preparation for surgery. The procedure begins with a small incision at the base of the nose on the strip of tissue separating the nostrils, called the columella. This incision allows the surgeon to open the nose and freely adjust the nasal tissues and structures to match your desires. The incision may leave a small, inconspicuous scar at the base of the nose. Upon completion, a splint will be used to stabilize your nose in its new shape. The septum will be stabilized with a dissolvable suture so that you will not need nasal packing.
Open rhinoplasty is performed on those who need significant adjustments, corrections, a second rhinoplasty, and on those who have severe asymmetries.
I GOT A NEW NOSE!!!!!!! I seriously CANNOT emphasize enough about how pleased I am with my rhinoplasty!!!!!! I had pretty high expectations because of how skilled and experienced Dr.Daniel Rousso is, but the results beyond exceeded anything I could have ever imagined. I am so in love with my nose now and can’t stop looking at it! It looks good from every angle! The staff was always friendly, the sitter nurse care I had after surgery (sweet woman named Tony) was so amazing and put ice packs on my face all night. I will have to find excuses to come to the office now because I loved it so much! Thank you so much for everything! Thank you for increasing my confidence! Loved this experience so much.
Candidates for rhinoplasty are individuals who would like to improve the appearance, size, or shape of their nose or who have nasal defects, injuries, or impaired breathing they would like to correct. The best candidates for cosmetic rhinoplasty are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way their noses look. Even though dramatic changes can be made, patients should have realistic expectations. Rhinoplasty can help patients by enhancing their appearance and boosting their self-confidence.
Dr. Rousso is the best surgeon. He completely changed my life. I have the best nose now! Dr. Rousso’s staff is very sweet and always makes sure they are satisfying your needs. They will try to fit you in their schedule if you feel you need to see the doctor. I am so glad I chose Dr. Rousso to do my surgery. He gave me a beautiful nose! I would refer him to anyone!
Anesthesia prevents all feelings of pain during surgery. The use of a special dissolvable suture for the nasal septum eradicates the need for packing, which dramatically reduces postoperative discomfort. Because pain may be experienced as feeling returns to the nose during recovery, mild pain relievers may be used to alleviate any temporary discomfort. Any intensity of pain will normally only last for 36–72 hours but may last longer if the nose is bumped or manipulated.
Early results will be visible as soon as most of the swelling has subsided about two weeks after the operation. The results at this time will be mostly finalized, but slight changes will occur as the internal nasal structures adjust and swelling continues to subside. By one year after the rhinoplasty, your results will be final. Many of our patients tell us rhinoplasty has restored their confidence, facial harmony and beauty.
Many patients feel that recovery from rhinoplasty with Dr. Rousso and Dr. Adams is easier than they anticipated. After rhinoplasty, a little bleeding may occur during the first few days. By the end of the first week, the splint is removed. Most of the swelling and bruising after rhinoplasty disappears within two weeks. By two weeks after surgery, patients can return to light activities although a feeling of stuffiness in the nose may continue for several weeks. Patients should refrain from contact sports or extreme physical activity for a full six weeks to avoid the risk of injury to the nose.
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Rousso and his staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful to me before and after my surgery. I think my nose looks fabulous and have gotten many compliments on how natural it looks. That is exactly what I was going for. I will miss seeing the nurses and how friendly they were.
I had a revision rhinoplasty done by Dr. Rousso. He and his team were amazing. My experience was nothing short of phenomenal. My nose looks great. I had no complications after the procedure. He has given me the gift of breathing and looking great at the same time. I cannot say enough great things about this place. This was my second time going through rhinoplasty, so I know what a bad experience looks and feels like. I was so glad I found Dr. Rousso to do my revision as he has got many years of experience and I had heard from many satisfied patients. Even other physicians are saying great things about him. To me, he is the best surgeon in America.
Rhinoplasty can be performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation. With general anesthesia, you will sleep through the procedure. With IV sedation, you will be heavily sedated but breathing on your own. Your nose and the area around it will be numbed, and you will feel drowsy during the surgery.
Rhinoplasty usually takes one or two hours, though extensive surgeries may take longer.
Nose surgery is often performed with other facial cosmetic procedures, such as eyelid surgery, chin augmentation and facelift surgery. Your cosmetic surgeon can help you determine if you’ll benefit from undergoing additional procedures with your nose surgery.
Closed rhinoplasty has no visible scarring. Open rhinoplasty may leave a scar at the base of the nose where the incision was placed. However, this scar is usually minor and inconspicuous. Scars typically fade over time.
Individuals should be at least 14 to 15 years old to qualify for rhinoplasty. Younger children may not be physically or emotionally mature enough for the procedure.
The results from rhinoplasty will last a lifetime. You will be able to enjoy your new nose for many years to come.
