The era of the “selfie” and social media has completely revolutionized the facial cosmetic industry.
People are analyzing their faces at multiple angles, which has caused more patients to seek rhinoplasty more than ever. People also seek plastic surgery and ask for the nose of a specific celebrity. It is important for patients to recognize that the nose is one of their most prominent features. It should fit YOUR face. Our happiest patients can specifically point to the areas of their nose that bother them the most and focus on correcting these areas. These are typically a dorsal hump (the bump or hook of the nose protruding outward), a deviated septum or crooked nose, a wide or long nose, a boxy or bulbous tip, or a hanging tip.
Most importantly, the function of the nose is for breathing. If you suffer from difficulty breathing from one or both sides of your nose, a functional rhinoplasty or septoplasty may help. If you have broken your nose from trauma and now suffer from breathing issues or nasal deformities, rhinoplasty can also be beneficial. For breathing improvements or corrective rhinoplasty after trauma, insurance may cover a portion or all of the procedure.
Non-Surgical Nose Job
Rhinoplasty is typically performed surgically; however, select patients who desire subtle changes and are not ready for a long-term surgical change may opt for non-surgical or injectable rhinoplasty. Patients who have had multiple surgeries to the nose may benefit from non-surgical options as well. This is typically performed with fillers with the patient awake and has minimal down time. Results typically last 9-12 months.
