A rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a popular cosmetic procedure that can be used to modify the size or shape of the nose. A rhinoplasty can be done specifically for aesthetic reasons or to correct birth defects, aesthetic issues, injury-related deformities, and breathing problems. The goal of a rhinoplasty procedure ranges from providing the patient with the appearance they desire to improving breathing function or both.
Sometimes, both objectives can be achieved simultaneously. Special attention must be paid to the structure of the face both aesthetically and physically when performing a rhinoplasty, to achieve an excellent result.
You should plan to take at least a week off from work or other activities such as school. After about a week, you should be able to return to normal activities. It may take several months for the results of your rhinoplasty to become apparent. It is important to sleep with your head elevated for the first few nights to minimize swelling and to avoid strenuous activity or blowing your nose for at least a week after your surgery. Overall, the recovery from rhinoplasty is typically quite smooth, and the results can be truly life-changing.

What should I expect with my rhinoplasty?
Because the nose varies so much from individual to individual and the structure of the nose is so complex, there is no standard rhinoplasty procedure. Your rhinoplasty procedure will be custom to fit your exact needs and anatomy.
It is possible for your surgeon to give you an expected appearance of the nose after your procedure. This will help you and your surgeon to communicate with each other the exact goals of the surgery.
It is not only possible, but our expert surgeons are frequently helping patients achieve the nose they always dreamed of. It takes experience and skill in the art of plastic surgery and knowledge of facial anatomy to achieve a look that appears completely natural. At The Ariel Center, you can be sure you are in the hands of masters of the art of plastic surgery.
The steps of your rhinoplasty will be unique to your procedure; however, you will first receive local or general anesthesia. After that, your surgeon will change the shape of your nose by utilizing one of several different types of rhinoplasty methods. You will then be monitored closely in our recovery room to ensure the success of your surgery. The method used for your rhinoplasty will be discussed with our experienced plastic surgeons during your consultation.
