Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping)
Rhinoplasty or Nasal surgery can help to correct a nose that is unattractive or is not in proportion with other facial features. The surgery can help to correct an abnormal appearance of the nose as a result of birth defects, injury or disease. Large nostrils can be reduced in size.
The procedure is done on an outpatient basis using either intravenous sedation or occasionally, general anesthesia. Some swelling and bruising can be expected for 1 to 2 weeks. The result is evident in 4 to 6 weeks, or sooner, with continued improvement for several months.
