Rhinoplasty Fort Worth, TX | Jesse E Smith, MD, FACS

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a "nose job," is a surgical procedure designed to correct the form and function of the nose. This precision technique can reshape the nose to harmonize with facial features and potentially improve breathing by addressing nasal airway obstructions.

Rhinoplasty Expertise

Dr. Jesse E. Smith is a Colleyville-Fort Worth Rhinoplasty specialist with extensive training in facial plastic surgery. Double board-certified in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Head and Neck Surgery, Dr. Smith has performed hundreds of rhinoplasty procedures.

Common Rhinoplasty Adjustments

• Nasal humps
• Nasal tip refinement
• Nostril reshaping
• Bridge height modification

Surgical Approaches

Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty

Dr. Smith offers both open and closed rhinoplasty techniques. During an open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made between the nostrils, while closed rhinoplasty is performed entirely through the nostrils.

Preservation Rhinoplasty

This advanced technique focuses on modifying the nose while preserving maximum tissue integrity. By strategically removing small amounts of cartilage and bone, Dr. Smith can reshape the nose with minimal disruption.

Ideal rhinoplasty candidates typically include individuals who:

• Are in their late teens or older
• Have completed facial growth
• Are non-smokers or have quit smoking
• Are in good overall health

Procedure Details

Most rhinoplasty procedures last two to three hours and are performed on an outpatient basis. Patients can typically return home the same day with appropriate supervision.

Recovery Insights

Recovery varies by patient, but most individuals can expect:

• 7-10 days off work
• Initial swelling subsiding within 2-3 weeks
• Gradual aesthetic improvements over 12 months
