RHINOPLASTY

RHINOPLASTY, or a nose job, can be performed to improve both the appearance and function of the nose. During your consultation, you will receive a thorough evaluation of your nasal features in relation to your overall facial proportions. A careful inspection of the airway inside of your nose will also be performed. The size and shape of the nasal bridge, tip, columella, and nostrils can be altered and internal components can also be corrected to improve breathing. In cases of functional airway problems, the office is experienced in working together with your insurance company to see what portions of the procedure can be covered if medically necessary. Dr. Lee will build a customized treatment plan that fits your goals and is also appropriate for your natural facial features, sex, and ethnicity as desired. Non-surgical rhinoplasty with fillers is also one of the most requested procedures performed by Dr. Lee.

Incisions are mostly hidden inside the nose. A tiny incision may also be made across the columella which heals very nicely (open procedure). If nostril or alar reduction is performed, incisions will be placed within the creases at the base of the nose.

Anesthesia is general and patients can go home the same day.

Recovery is variable depending on the technique used and most patients can resume daily activities within 2 weeks. More strenuous activity can be performed by 4 weeks.

Results are immediate and long-lasting. Final results take several months to become apparent once swelling subsides.
