Procedure Details

This patient is two years post op in her after pictures. During this time the nose softens and the swelling that is usually seen in thicker skinned patients is completely resolved. The result is stable and as you can tell from the picture the patient is smiling. Her rhinoplasty achieved the outcome that she was desiring, and she can breathe better on top of it all. Surgery such as this can be performed on an outpatient basis and initial recovery to return to work is approximately one week. Cost for rhinoplasty varies depending on whether it is a first time case or if it is a revision of another surgeon's work. Other considerations that can affect cost include if there is a need for graft material from other parts of the body in more challenging cases. A thorough consultation is required and we at VIP Plastic Surgery are here to help you through the process with an informative process including 3D simulation of projected results to help you better communicate your needs and desires.

Several factors go into reshaping a nose, bu tnone are more important than understanding what is needed to complement the surrounding features of one's face. This is a concept called facial harmony in rhinoplasty surgery and it takes looking beyond the nose to plan your surgery. In each and every case, careful consideration of patient goals along with facial height and width, nose to chin distance, eye width, tip width to nostril width and ethnicity are some of the describable factors that are considered when planning a nose job. Here you can see the difference the dorsal shape, tip to lip angle (known as columella labial angle, tip size and nostril width are all improved within the harmony of the other facial features. More

From this profile picture you can see that the hump on the nose was reduced. To accomplish this a careful reduction of the bone and cartilage elements was performed as well as a slight rotation of the tip upwards. The tip was created with a crushed cartilage graft to ensure that the nose did not look too "done" but rather had a softer more natural look that the patient had envisioned for themself. More

From the front view you can see the effect of narrowing the bones of the nasal bridge and the narrowing of the nostrils. What is more difficult to see is that in the preoperative picture there is a slight curvature to the nose from the patient's deviated septum. The septum was straightened for cosmetic needs and for improvement of functional air flow. Because the nasal bridge was narrowed the eyes appear somewhat wider apart, complimenting her appearance and youthfulness. One of the things that patients fear the most when told that we may need to raise the tip a bit, is the fear of having the nose look "piggish" by having too much nostril show. As you can see in this after picture the nostrils do not have any greater "show" but the tip is in a better place. More

From the other side you can see that the nose is symmetric in appearance to the right side. In addition, in this picture you can see that the nose is more complimentary to the inherent beauty of the patients other facial features. With a few small changes to the nose a patient can look younger, and have greater facial harmony. More
