Consultation

At an office consultation, Dr. Salzman will have you look in a mirror and ask you to describe the changes you would like to see in your new nose. We will then take 3D pictures of your face. You will meet with Dr. Salzman in our library and, using Vectra™ 3D imaging software, he can show you what the anticipated changes might look like in real life on a large flat-panel screen. This has tremendously helped our patients visualize what changes in the nose can be made safely and reliably. A print of the goal changes in your nose will be given to you before you leave the office.

Procedure Description

Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) is done under a general anesthetic in an ambulatory setting. Either an open or closed approach is utilized. In the open approach, a small zig-zag incision is made between the nostrils to better visualize the structures and implement the changes in a more predictable fashion. The closed approach has no visible incisions as they are all inside the nose.

Recuperation and Healing

Sutures, if present, will be removed in 5 days. The plastic splint placed over the bony portion is removed 7 days after surgery. Most patients are bruised for 7-10 days. Pain is minimal and controlled with oral medications. While the bony part of the nose may look better immediately, the finer changes to the tip where the skin is thicker may take up to 1 year to finalize healing.

Other Options

chin implant and suction lipectomy of the neck or Liteshape™ of the neck may improve the overall appearance and better balance the nose on the face.
