A pleasing facial appearance can make an important first impression. So in this quest toward a more attractive look, patients may wish to alter the shape of their nose.

Nose surgery can be an intricate and delicate procedure, in which the nasal structures are modified to help correct a variety of imperfections, such as:

Width
Asymmetry
Profile
Breathing difficulty

Whether you are dissatisfied with your nose due to heredity, a previous injury, or cancer, Dr. Livingston will evaluate your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan to help you reach your aesthetic goals.

RHINOPLASTY PROCEDURAL STEPS

General anesthesia is usually required to provide patients with a pain-free experience.

Performed by using either a closed procedure with incisions made inside of the nose or by an open procedure where incisions are hidden along the bottom of the nose (“columella”), the tissue covering the nose will be separated from the underlying support and cartilage reshaped. Grafted cartilage is sometimes necessary to enhance the features of the nose.

In order to help patients with deviated septums breathe better, the nose will be straightened and tissue projections removed to open and clear the nasal passage way. Finally, the nasal skin will be redraped and all incisions closed.

THE RESULTS OF A RHINOPLASTY

Following surgery, nasal packing and splints are applied for one week and the patient should stay as upright as possible, with the head elevated during sleep.

Swelling and bruising will begin to diminish within the first few days and patients will be able to return to work or school within three to five days. Scarring from the procedure will be minimal. Patients should expect to see the final results from their nasal surgery within 6-12 months.
