Rhinoplasty, also referred to as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that is performed to refine or alter the appearance of the nose. At Alessi Medical Spa, Dr. Alessi is dedicated to providing our patients with beautiful and natural-looking results from their rhinoplasty in White Plains, NY.
Rhinoplasty Candidates
If you are unhappy with the shape, size, or general appearance of your nose, you may be a good candidate for rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty can be performed to make more subtle changes to certain areas of the nose or to make more dramatic changes for patients who want to redefine the appearance of their nose. During your consultation, Dr. Alessi will go over your medical history and ask about the features of the nose you want to address to determine if you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty. He will digitally alter your nose on the computer screen to fully understand your cosmetic goals.
The Benefits of Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty can be performed to address a variety of issues that you may have with the appearance of your nose. In some cases, rhinoplasty may also be performed to help improve the function of the nose by treating issues like a deviated septum. Rhinoplasty is commonly performed to address issues such as:
- Bulbous nasal tip
- Asymmetry
- Prominent nasal bridge hump
- Flared nostrils
- Drooping nasal tip
- Large protruding nose
How Rhinoplasty is Performed
Rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia. Prior to your procedure, Dr. Alessi will create a personalized surgical plan based on your desired results. During the procedure, nasal cartilage may be reshaped, repositioned, or removed in order to give the nose the desired appearance. Bones may be reshaped and repositioned as well. Once the procedure is completed the incisions will be sutured closed and the nose will be wrapped and bandaged.
Rhinoplasty Recovery
The nose will need to be bandaged and dressed during the first part of your rhinoplasty recovery. Recovery time will vary based on the extent of the work performed. Patients can expect to experience some swelling and bruising around the nose as well as some discomfort. Pain should be minimal and can be managed with medication.
Patients can typically resume most of their normal activities after two weeks or so, but more strenuous activities should be avoided for longer. Some deep internal swelling may persist for up to a year, but a majority of the noticeable swelling should dissipate after the first few weeks. As the swelling subsides, your final rhinoplasty results will become more visible.
