The cost of rhinoplasty is varied depending on geographic location and the experience of the surgeon. The following are points to consider when thinking about how to finance your rhinoplasty surgery.

HomeRhinoplasty Rhinoplasty is one of the most common types of plastic surgery performed in the United States. Despite its popularity, there is a large amount of false information circulating about the procedure. The following are common myths about rhinoplasty: 1. Rhinoplasty is a painful procedure. Rhinoplasty is almost exclusively performed under general anesthesia, meaning that the patient will be asleep during the entirety of the procedure. After the surgery, most patients describe their discomfort as something similar to a bad head cold as opposed to any sort of severe pain. The discomfort wears off within 7 to 10 days. In many cases, […]

HomeRhinoplasty Many people have heard of eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, which improve aging conditions of the eye area, including sagging upper eyelids and puffy under-eye bags. However, there’s another, lesser-known form of eyelid surgery: Asian blepharoplasty. Also known as “double eyelid surgery”, this is a type of cosmetic surgery where the skin around the eye is reshaped with the purpose of creating an upper eyelid with a crease (double eyelid) from an eyelid that is naturally without a crease (single eyelid). Patients have this procedure to have a brighter, more aware look and to make it easier to apply eyeliner. Patients […]

Despite this, cosmetic surgery is a major decision for parent and child and the decision should not be taken lightly. Is your child old enough for rhinoplasty? Girls should be at least 15 or 16 […]

HomeRhinoplasty I have non-allergic rhinitis. Is it possible for someone with this condition to have rhinoplasty? It is possible for you to have a rhinoplasty to address the appearance of the nose. Occasionally, we combine rhinoplasty with functional surgery, such as septoplasty to correct a deviated septum and turbinate surgery to address enlarged turbinates. One of the goals of these functional surgeries is to improve nasal function. While non-allergic rhinitis may improve with turbinate surgery, I would advise you that medical therapy is an important treatment for your condition. As well, I would advise you that rhinitis may persist after rhinoplasty. […]
