What Are the Benefits of a Rhinoplasty?

  • Restored nasal crookedness

Who is a Candidate For Rhinoplasty?

Men or women who have functional or aesthetic concerns about their noses are usually candidates for rhinoplasty. Ideal candidates should meet the following requirements:

  • Are generally in good health, both physically and mentally
  • Do not have serious medical concerns, such as a bleeding disorder
  • Do not smoke
  • Are not taking blood-thinning medications (or can safely stop taking them)
  • Have realistic expectations for what a rhinoplasty procedure can achieve

What is the Cost?

Each rhinoplasty procedure is designed based on the facial structure and proportions and is fully customized to the needs of each patient. The cost of a rhinoplasty will vary based on a number of factors, such as the complexity required of the procedure, how many parts of the nose need to be addressed, and whether you are combining other procedures with your rhinoplasty. After your consultation with Dr. Espinoza, he will design your surgical plan, and this will include the exact price of your rhinoplasty procedure.

Types of Rhinoplasty 

Reduction Rhinoplasty

Reduction rhinoplasty is one of the most common nose reshaping procedures. This surgery helps patients by creating a more proportional nose to their other facial features. This is achieved by addressing bumps on the bridge of the nose and extended nasal tip or flared nostrils. During the procedure, areas of bone or cartilage will be sculpted to create the perfect shape.

Augmentation Rhinoplasty

Augmentation rhinoplasty is another popular treatment. During this surgery, bone or cell grafting is performed on the nasal tip or bridge. This can help straighten the area and add volume to areas where there may be depressions or other issues.

Post-Traumatic Rhinoplasty

If an individual has suffered an injury to the nose, they may take advantage of post-traumatic rhinoplasty in Manhattan. Patients can use this treatment to correct the nose and remedy the nasal septum. Commonly, post-traumatic individuals have suffered a broken nose. If an individual has experienced a significant nose injury, they might need to wait several months before undergoing a comprehensive surgical procedure.

Reconstructive Rhinoplasty

Patients might require reconstructive rhinoplasty if they have lost all or part of their noses to an injury, skin cancer, or another major illness. A specialist reconstructs the nose during the surgery using skin grafts, flap techniques, and other innovative approaches. Due to the intricate nature of this procedure, patients might need multiple surgical treatments over several months. 

Adolescent Rhinoplasty

Most of the time, medical professionals recommend teen patients wait until their noses have stopped growing before receiving a rhinoplasty. There are exemptions, specifically in situations of trauma or breathing problems. When young patients undergo rhinoplasty, it requires a dedicated medical professional who can safeguard the still delicate nasal features. Furthermore, a medical professional should ensure that the patient is psychologically ready for the procedure.

Aging Rhinoplasty

Although the nose stops growing around age 16, the shape may transform over time. Areas may start to droop, or the nasal passages might tighten, triggering breathing problems. With aging rhinoplasty, a surgeon can alleviate these concerns to make breathing more manageable and offer a patient a more youthful, renewed look.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Ethnic rhinoplasty utilizes the same techniques as other nose reshaping surgeries but is designed for specific ethnic demographics. Generally, ethnic rhinoplasty describes treatments performed on African American, Afro-Caribbean, Oriental, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern descent. These patients usually have softer nasal shapes, and the surgeon should take special care to protect these unique attributes.

Rhinoplasty FAQ

How long until I see the results?

Can my rhinoplasty be combined with other procedures?

Will there be scarring?

Is it painful?

What if I am not pleased with the outcome?

How long until I see the results?

Rhinoplasty is unique in that the surgery outcomes can take up to one year to be fully visible. Side effects such as swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes can impede the appearance of the nose for the first two to three weeks. While more noticeable modifications may be visible in the first weeks following surgery, the majority of people will require several months to see the result.

Can my rhinoplasty be combined with other procedures?

Rhinoplasty is often combined with other procedures, such as a blepharoplasty, chin augmentation, or facelift. Combination procedures help to achieve balanced, proportionate features and bring more dramatic improvements to the harmony of the face. Non-surgical treatments often pair well with a rhinoplasty, such as injectables.

Will there be scarring?

Similar to most forms of plastic surgery, there is a possibility for scarring during rhinoplasty. In shut rhinoplasty, all lacerations are made inside the nostrils and will not leave behind any noticeable scars. In open nose surgery, an additional laceration made across the columella (the midline column of the nose between the nostrils) may leave a small scar. Fortunately, due to the size and location of the incision, this is generally unnoticeable.

Is it painful?

A rhinoplasty will cause soreness, swelling, and bruising. Many patients describe the pain to be a 4 on a scale of 1-10. Dr. Espinoza will talk with you ahead of time about pain management options to ensure you are more comfortable during your recovery period.

What if I am not pleased with the outcome?

Unfortunately, regardless of a cosmetic surgeon’s effort, sometimes, a patient may not be satisfied with the outcome of their surgery. This can be due to several causes, including surgical errors or unrealistic expectations from the patient. Since rhinoplasty results can take up to a year to develop, patients should not panic if they are unhappy with the form in the initial few months. If a patient is dissatisfied with the nose after the final form, there are options for treatment and adjustment, including revision surgery.
