Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) Surgery in Westchester

Dr. Andrew Kleinman, a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 25 years of experience, offers expert rhinoplasty surgery in Westchester NY. Commonly known as a "nose job," rhinoplasty can enhance both the aesthetics and function of the nose.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty

• Reshape, reduce, or augment the nose
• Remove a hump
• Narrow nostril width
• Adjust nose-to-lip angle
• Correct injuries, birth defects, or breathing issues

The Rhinoplasty Procedure

Rhinoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The 1-2 hour procedure may use closed (internal incisions only) or open (small external incision) techniques. Dr. Kleinman sculpts the underlying bone and cartilage to achieve the desired shape.

Rhinoplasty Recovery

Patients can expect some bruising and swelling post-surgery, with most swelling resolving within 2 weeks. Minor residual swelling may persist for up to a year. Discomfort is manageable with medication. Most patients return to work and normal activities within 1-2 weeks.

Ideal Candidates

Dr. Kleinman recommends postponing rhinoplasty for younger patients until the nose is fully grown, usually around age 14-15. Candidates should be in good physical health and have realistic expectations about results.
