(207) 213-1867 MENU RHINOPLASTY Achieving subtle, natural changes for a nose that suits your face. A nose that is too prominent or large can distract from the eyes and the smile, minimizing a person’s overall beauty and causing self-confidence to plummet. The nose may suffer from imperfections of the bridge, the tip or the nostrils, or some combination of all three. Additionally, the inner structure of the nose may need reshaping in order to avoid breathing problems and sleep apnea. Rhinoplasty is the operative procedure used to change or improve the shape of the nose. Nasal deformities may be congenital, may develop as the person grows, or may be the result of injury Underlying bone and cartilage give the nose shape. Rhinoplasty can straighten the nose or improve the shape of a nose that does not otherwise fit the face. Rhinoplasty to improve appearance can be performed in conjunction with a procedure to correct breathing problems. In instances of functional problems, insurance may cover some of the costs, however our office does not participate with any insurance.

Rhinoplasty For Men Today, more and more men are opting to improve their appearance through a variety of cosmetic procedures. Rhinoplasty for men can improve the profile, strengthening one’s masculinity while correcting issues of the bridge, tip or nostrils. Often Dr. Weisberg and Dr. Daniel will perform a graft to augment the nose, rather than reduce it, as is primarily the case with female clients. He may also apply chin implants to achieve a more balanced and attractive aesthetic. Revision Rhinoplasty Revision rhinoplasty is among the most challenging and delicate procedures to perform, as there can be scar tissue to contend with, as well as the patient’s anxiety over having to undergo yet another procedure that should have gone right the first time. Rhinoplasty incisions are inside the nose and are closed with dissolving sutures. Sometimes there is a small incision at the junction of the lip and nose. If the nostrils must be narrowed, there may be small incisions and removable sutures at the nostril rim. These sutures are taken out five days after surgery. When rhinoplasty is completed, a splint is placed on the outside. The splint will be removed about one week after surgery and showering will be permitted at that time. Most bruising and swelling will disappear within 10 to 14 days. Prolonged swelling of the tip of the nose is an uncommon problem, which may require special attention. You may participate in non-contact exercise two weeks after surgery, but you should avoid contact athletics for six weeks.
