Rhinoplasty Procedure Specialist Serving Colmar, Lansdale PA

At Lansdale Plastic Surgery, we offer a range of cosmetic procedures, including Rhinoplasty. Also known as a “nose job,” rhinoplasty is a surgical intervention used to reshape or resize the nose. It is one of the most popular types of plastic surgery and can be performed for a variety of reasons, including cosmetic enhancement, correction of congenital deformities, and the treatment of breathing problems or injuries.

We offer two main types of rhinoplasty:

● Functional Rhinoplasty: This procedure addresses breathing difficulties caused by a deviated septum or other nasal obstructions.
● Cosmetic Rhinoplasty: This procedure focuses on improving the appearance of your nose, emphasizing aesthetics and symmetry.

Rhinoplasty can take one to three hours, and it is typically done under a general anesthetic. The majority of our patients can go home the same day.

Post rhinoplasty, you can expect your nose and eyes to be swollen and bruised. You will likely have a splint or cast on your nose to help maintain its new shape during the healing process. This is typically removed after about a week. The swelling progressively reduces over several months, and the final effects can take up to a year to become noticeable. Despite the lengthy recovery time, the results of rhinoplasty are often permanent, boosting patients’ confidence and satisfaction with their appearance.

At Lansdale Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of surgical procedures including rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job or nose reshaping surgery. Our skilled and experienced surgeons are equipped to address a wide range of functional and aesthetic conditions and concerns related to the nose.

From a functional standpoint, our surgeons can treat a deviated septum, a common problem in which the nasal septum is moved to one side, resulting in difficulties breathing, nasal congestion, and chronic sinusitis. We also provide treatments for nasal polyps, growths in the nasal passages that obstruct breathing and cause sinus infections, and enlarged turbinates, structures in the nose that when enlarged, block the nasal passages. In addition, our team is equipped to handle the repair of traumatic injuries to the nose such as a broken nose or a nasal deformity, as well as certain congenital defects like a cleft nose or a nasal mass.

Aesthetically, rhinoplasty is tailored to meet your cosmetic desires. Whether you’re looking to correct a nose that is too big or too small, crooked, or has a prominent bump on the bridge, our team is here to help. We can refine the size and shape of your nostrils, lift and reshape a drooping tip, correct asymmetries, and restore a more youthful appearance.

We understand that rhinoplasty is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. The specific goals and techniques used during surgery are based on your unique concerns and desired outcomes.

At Lansdale Plastic Surgery, one of the most common procedures we perform is rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job. This surgical procedure is designed to reshape your nose, enhancing its appearance or functionality. But how can you determine if you’re a suitable candidate for rhinoplasty at our clinic? Here are a few crucial factors to consider.

Factors to Consider:

Your health is our top priority. Before undergoing any surgical procedure, including rhinoplasty, we ensure that you are in good overall health. Certain conditions such as hemophilia, which can affect your body’s ability to clot and heal, might make the procedure riskier. It’s also important to discuss any respiratory or bleeding disorders, or if you’re on any medications that may interfere with surgery or anesthesia.

Your nose’s condition plays a significant role in determining whether rhinoplasty is right for you. If you’re unhappy with the size, shape, or appearance of your nose, or if you have a deviated septum, a nose injury, or significant aesthetic concerns such as bumps, humps, asymmetry, or breathing difficulties due to structural abnormalities, you might be a good candidate for rhinoplasty.

We believe in achieving a natural-looking result that complements your facial features. Understanding that rhinoplasty can enhance your nose’s appearance but won’t necessarily change your life or make you happier is crucial. The benefits may take some time to manifest, and being emotionally prepared for the healing period is critical for post-operative pleasure.

Your mental and emotional health is crucial. You must be able to cope well with the potential changes in your appearance and maintain a positive outlook on the surgery and its possible outcomes.

Rhinoplasty, also known as a “nose job,” is a surgical operation that changes the size or shape of the nose for cosmetic or medical reasons. At Lansdale Plastic Surgery, our experienced surgeons perform this procedure with utmost precision and care.
 
Factors That Influence the Duration of the Procedure:

● Complexity of Changes: The extent of the changes desired significantly affects the duration of the operation at our clinic. Simple procedures like nostril refinement or minor cartilage correction typically take around 2-3 hours. More comprehensive procedures, such as hump removal or moderate nasal reshaping, can take 3-4 hours. However, complex procedures requiring extensive nasal reconstruction or major cartilage reshaping may take more than 4 hours.

● Surgeon’s Technique: The level of expertise and preferred techniques of our surgeons can also influence the duration of the procedure.

● Patient’s Anatomy: The size and shape of the patient’s nose, as well as the condition of the surrounding tissues, can impact the surgical time.

We want to remind our patients that each person and each nose is unique, so these durations are general estimates and may not apply to everyone. It’s critical to consult with our board-certified plastic surgeons to get a more accurate estimate of what you can expect for your particular situation. Our surgeons will provide an accurate estimate based on your individual needs and the complexity of the desired changes. For more information, contact us today or book an appointment online.
