Nose Surgery/Rhinoplasty at Dan L. Bennett, MD
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty – made famous by the entertainment industry and frequently goes under the name "nose job" – is our most popular procedure. While rhinoplasty can give your nose a new size or shape, it's also used to correct a number of physical issues, including:
- Difficulty breathing
- Birth defect
- Injury
If you're an adult who is wondering if rhinoplasty is right for you, schedule a consultation – we'd be happy to talk about your options. With rhinoplasty, we can:
- Change the sloping angle of your nose
- Correct defects at the point from the tip to your upper lip
- Narrow or widen the width of your nose
- Increase or reduce the size or length of your nose
- Correct bumps and other issues at the bridge of the nose
- Change the shape of the nostrils
- Enlarge or reduce nasal passages
Although rhinoplasty is usually performed on an outpatient basis, it's a very visible procedure – so give yourself time to heal. After the surgery, you'll feel discomfort, puffiness, and pain in your nasal area. The first day in particular will be a bit uncomfortable; we recommend that you stay in bed, with your head elevated.
Patients with vision problems can wear contact lenses during their recovery, but glasses can interfere with the healing.
