Is Rhinoplasty For You?

Are You a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping, is one of the most common cosmetic plastic surgery procedures. It is the second-most popular surgical cosmetic procedure in the US (according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons). Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose for both aesthetic and corrective purposes. Rhinoplasty can enlarge or reduce the nose, as well as reshape the bridge and nose tip.

Best Rhinoplasty Candidates

You may be a good candidate for rhinoplasty if the nose you were born with makes you self conscious or unhappy. Other candidates may be unhappy with how their nose has aged. Even slight changes to the shape of the nose can have a dramatic effect on appearance and can change how people interact with you. Plastic surgery can reshape deformities, reshape changes from aging and other causes, and restore balance. More...

Rhinoplasty is a nose-reshaping plastic surgery that can be performed under local anesthesia (you are awake) or under general anesthesia (you are asleep). Cosmetic nose surgery is often performed in a doctor's outpatient surgical suite. Rhinoplasty normally requires an hour or two in surgery, depending on the amount of nose reshaping to be done. Two types of rhinoplasty include "open" versus "closed." More...
