Rhinoplasty (creating the nose you always wanted)

Rhinoplasty is the surgical procedure for correcting structural deformities of the nose. It involves redesigning the nose either by removing excess tissues or correcting insufficiencies to improve overall nasal contour and function. Your surgeon can shorten a long nose, narrow a wide one, reduce a wide tip, lower a high nose and straighten a crooked one.

Procedure
The incision is usually hidden to avoid visible scarring. Rhinoplasty is usually performed on an outpatient basis. You may be required to wear an external splint for a few days.

Recovery
During this time you can resume non-stressful activities. After the splint is removed, your nose may appear slightly swollen. Within two weeks after surgery, most patients can return to their normal activity level. Although most of the swelling will be resolved after the first two weeks following surgery, the final results may not be evident for several months due to the normal healing process.
