What Is Rhinoplasty? Banner

What Is Rhinoplasty?

A nose job or rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure meant to reshape and refine the nose so as to make it look better and function properly. In the course of the operation, Dr. Mordkovich can modify the nasal structure, including its dimensions, appearance, balance, and other related issues. The aim is to produce a nasal appendage that will fit on the face better. Depending on the technique used, incisions are usually made inside the nostrils. But, in some cases, they can also be across the base of the nose.

Most patients prefer this kind of reconstructive surgery when they think their nose does not look right in relation to other facial features. Others may choose rhinoplasty when they are experiencing some difficulty in breathing secondary to nasal deformity. This surgery can correct some functional problems like a deviated septum, thereby enhancing airflow. Although it is mainly concerned with how the nose looks, this operation can still help one feel better about oneself and improve body image, too.

Rhinoplasty Techniques

At Cross Hudson Plastic Surgery, we use two main rhinoplasty techniques. Each is customized to serve the unique needs and objectives of our clients. Depending on various factors like how much correction is expected, the nature of changes as well as nasal anatomy, among others, one may be required to choose between these options:

Open Rhinoplasty

The open rhinoplasty approach remains one of the most common for reshaping the nose. This technique entails making incisions inside the nasal cavity and at the base of the nasal septum between the nostrils. After the incisions are made, the skin is carefully raised to reveal the underlying cartilage and bone. This method provides much better access to the nasal structure. Thus, it is suited for those patients who need more extensive changes, such as correction of a dorsal hump and/or reshaping of the tip or marked asymmetry, are needed. The small incision made on the underside of the nose usually heals with barely any visible scarring.

Closed Rhinoplasty

Closed rhinoplasty is done completely inside the nasal cavity, and no external cuts are visible. Our surgeon accesses the cartilage and nasal bones through the nostrils by making cuts inside them. Closed rhinoplasty may require the use of cartilage grafts to improve the shape and provide some support for the nasal structure. These are particularly applicable in cases involving tip plasty or correction of asymmetry. This technique is best suited for patients needing more subtle adjustments to the nose, such as refining the nasal tip or reducing the size of the nostrils. Although the access is a bit more limited compared to open rhinoplasty, closed rhinoplasty usually causes less swelling, quicker recovery, and no visible external scarring.

Rhinoplasty Procedure Explained

At the initial rhinoplasty consultation, Dr. Mordkovich carefully assesses the patient’s concerns and objectives. He listens to their desires regarding nasal function and shape. To get a better understanding of the patient’s aesthetic idea, our surgeon invites bringing in photos of noses that the patient likes. He also explains how the surgery can deliver the results.
Dr. Mordkovich uses the advanced Crisalix 3D simulation software to create an individualized digital image. It demonstrates the possible changes in the nose and helps the patient better envision the expected outcome. This technology gives a clear picture of the results and helps to understand what kind of improvement rhinoplasty can offer. 

Before the nose surgery, our specialist does a proper check-up to ensure that the patient is healthy and fit for the surgery. Blood work may also be done to make sure that there are no medical concerns that can affect the surgery. Rhinoplasty is contraindicated in patients with specific medical concerns, including the following:

  • Severe nasal obstruction
  • Uncontrolled health conditions such as diabetes
  • Active infections or allergies
  • Extensive scarring from previous surgeries
  • Markings and Anesthesia: On the day of surgery, Dr. Mordkovich marks the areas of the nose where adjustments are to be made. The anesthesiologist administers general anesthesia so that the patient will be fully asleep and comfortable during the procedure.
  • Incisions and Adjustment: Then, our surgeon makes the incisions either inside the nostrils or along the base of the nose, depending on whether the open or closed rhinoplasty technique is used. Through the incisions, he reshapes the nasal cartilage and bone to the desired shape. Next, the excess tissue is removed. And finally, the nose is carefully sculpted for improved symmetry and function.
  • Closure of the Incisions: Once the shape of the nose has been achieved, Dr. Mordkovich closes the incisions. Depending on how complex the surgery is, it may take approximately two or three hours for the whole process.

Recovery After Rhinoplasty

Immediate Recovery

Immediately after rhinoplasty surgery, patients are taken to our comfortable recovery area, where they are closely monitored to wake up from the anesthesia. Some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common during the early stages of recovery. Our team will provide pain medication to make them comfortable to start the healing process.

In the initial two weeks after the surgery, patients need to follow some post-surgical care recommendations. Dr. Mordkovich may advise wearing a nasal splint that helps support the newly contoured nose while minimizing swelling. Patients should avoid strenuous physical activities such as exercise, lifting, and bending for at least two weeks after surgery.
Some swelling and bruising of the nose and around the eyes are expected. But these will also start to improve during the first 7 to 10 days. Depending on the case, antibiotics may be prescribed to avoid infection. The sutures are removed within the first week, and most patients can return to light activities once the initial recovery period has passed.
Recovery from rhinoplasty takes several months. Although the swelling will begin to subside after the first few weeks, some residual may persist for three to four months after surgery. This is the time when the nose continues to refine and settle into its final shape. Only then, when the swelling has completely dissipated, patients can appreciate the full results of the procedure.

Candidates for Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is indicated for anyone unhappy with the look or function of their nose. Prospective patients should generally be in good health and have realistic expectations as to the results that can be achieved. Some key points indicating that one is a suitable candidate for rhinoplasty would be as follows:

Aesthetic Concerns
  • Flattened Nose: The common case is when a patient’s nose is too flat or lacks definition. So, reshaping is done to make it more proportional to other facial features.
  • Excessively Wide Bridge: In cases where the bridge of the nose is too wide, rhinoplasty can be used to narrow it down for a more refined profile.
  • Rounded or Pointed Tip: This surgery can correct a rounded or too-pointed tip, thus providing a smoother and more balanced appearance.
  • Bulbous Shape: In case the patient has a bulbous tip, excess tissues may be taken out to refine it to make a nice-shaped nose according to proportion.
  • Disproportionately Long Nose: A nose that is too long can be shortened towards the attainment of better-balanced facial esthetics.
  • Dorsal Hump: Rhinoplasty can reduce or eliminate a dorsal hump, creating a straighter nose profile.
  • Wide or Asymmetrical Nostrils: Nostrils can be narrowed or reshaped to enhance general symmetry and balance.
  • Ethnic Rhinoplasty:Some patients may dislike their noses because of some cultural characteristics. That is why they chose this procedure to fix aesthetic concerns.
  • Breathing Problems: Rhinoplasty can help provide relief for the patient who has difficulty breathing due to obstructive nasal passages or a deviated septum. The surgery may be used to improve airflow and clear nasal blockages.
  • Injury to the Septum or Nasal Structures: When previous injuries have damaged the normal anatomy of the nose, a rhinoplasty can restore both appearance and function.

Rhinoplasty Benefits

Enhanced Facial Harmony

By adjusting the dimensions of the nasal structure through rhinoplasty, the face becomes symmetrical. It makes the nose in good proportion to other facial structures, hence balancing it. Rhinoplasty promotes the coordination of different elements of the face by altering the size and shape of an individual’s nose. The result is an enhanced, younger look that most people would find attractive.
Apart from enhancing one’s appearance, rhinoplasty can also help fix some functional problems like a deviated septum or blocked nostrils. It enables the patients to breathe better, hence, they feel more comfortable. Improved breathing also means a lot for someone’s general well-being since it reduces long-term nasal discomfort and congestion.

After this plastic surgery procedure, a lot of patients feel better about themselves because it changes how their faces look. When they have a nose that is proportional to the rest of their features, they can be at ease in public as well as private gatherings. The increased self-esteem that follows can have a positive impact on different areas of life, such as relationships and work prospects.

With appropriate care and treatment, rhinoplasty results can last for a very long time. The nose remains permanently changed after it has properly healed. Therefore, its function and appearance are greatly enhanced and will remain so.
Closed rhinoplasty, among other rhinoplasty techniques, has little scarring that can be seen. The incisions in an open rhinoplasty are also hidden. They are located on the undersurface at the tip of the patient’s nose. These scars normally become less visible as they heal with time if patients take good care of them.
