Understanding Rhinoplasty: A Comprehensive Overview

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a "nose job," is a specialized facial surgery procedure designed to modify the size, shape, and function of the nose. At Nease Cosmetic Surgery, rhinoplasty is offered to patients seeking both cosmetic enhancement and functional improvement.

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty involves precise surgical techniques to reshape the nasal structure. The procedure can address multiple concerns, including:

• Reducing or increasing nose size
• Modifying nasal tip shape
• Correcting breathing difficulties
• Addressing congenital defects
• Repairing traumatic injuries

Functional and Cosmetic Benefits

Patients may pursue rhinoplasty for various reasons, including aesthetic preferences and medical necessities. The procedure can simultaneously improve both appearance and respiratory function.

Rhinoplasty Candidacy

Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty are typically healthy individuals over 14-15 years old with fully developed facial skeletal structures. The specific candidacy will be thoroughly evaluated during an initial consultation.

Procedure Cost and Considerations

The average cost of rhinoplasty at Nease Cosmetic Surgery ranges between $5,000-$8,000. Pricing varies based on individual surgical requirements and complexity of the procedure.

Recovery and Expectations

Rhinoplasty recovery typically involves minimal discomfort with progressive healing. Patients can expect:

• Nasal splint wear for approximately one week
• Initial swelling and potential bruising
• Gradual resolution of swelling over 3-6 months
• Return to normal activities within 2-3 weeks
