Rhinoplasty

The nose, along with the eyes and the mouth is a vital structure in determining what creates an attractive face. The nose occupies the center of the face and is one of the foundations of facial proportion. Although the nose is one unit its consists of several subunits.


A cosmetic nose surgery involves consideration of the envelope of skin that covers the nose, the nasal bones, the tip, the nostrils and the cartilaginous components. A nose may be too wide, too long and too high with a hump (bump) and a bulky tip. Refinement and shaping of some or all of the components of the nose may be required to achieve the optimal outcome. Our practice offers consultations for rhinoplasty surgery in our Middlebury, Connecticut.

A physical examination is performed and pre-operative photographs taken. The risks, benefits, alternatives including no surgery and possible complications are explained.

You are given the opportunity to ask questions and have them answered to your satisfaction. Information is power. Your decision to have cosmetic nose surgery will be made based upon the pertinent facts provided to you as an individual.


Post Op Healing



After cosmetic nose surgery strenuous activity must be avoided, however, walking and moving about after your operation is encouraged to avoid blood clots. Exercises such as running, weight lifting, stretching and other forms of strenuous activity are to be avoided for at least three to six weeks.
