Is Rhinoplasty Right For Me?
Anyone who is self-conscious about his or her nose will find that rhinoplasty offers a newfound aura of confidence. The procedure can significantly enhance an individual’s facial appearance by creating a more balanced nose and enhanced profile. A rhinoplasty procedure is completely customized to uniquely complement each individual’s face, whether your desire is to remove a bump, taper a tip, or build up nasal depressions. After a careful analysis of your concerns and medical history, Dr. Ganchi will help you decide if rhinoplasty can give you the results you desire.

How is Rhinoplasty Performed?
Your rhinoplasty will be planned and tailored to match your individual needs so you can achieve the most natural appearance. Typically, the skin of the nose is cut and lifted away from the bone cartilage framework from beneath, then shaped and sculpted to obtain optimum results. The incisions are most often placed inside the nose and hidden from view. When the surgery is complete, a splint may be applied to help your nose maintain its new shape. Some bruising and swelling can be expected following surgery, but applying ice and taking a mild pain reliever can offer effective relief. Keeping your head elevated and relaxing in bed is recommended for the first 24 hours following surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the best candidate for Rhinoplasty?
Good candidates for rhinoplasty surgery are people who are finished growing, in good health, and unhappy with the current size, shape or appearance of their nose. It’s also important to have realistic expectations of what rhinoplasty can do for you.

What are the risks of having Rhinoplasty?
Any surgical procedure comes with inherent risk, such as the effects of anesthesia, infection, bleeding, swelling and discomfort. These and other complications rarely occur and can usually be avoided. Dr. Ganchi will discuss the risks with you thoroughly during your consultation.

How long is the recovery period?
Some bruising and swelling are expected for the first few weeks. An external dressing is usually worn for the first week. Once removed, camouflage makeup can be used if needed and you can usually return to work shortly thereafter. Over the next several months, there will be a subtle but ongoing remodeling process as your nose becomes more sculpted and refined.

If you are one of the many people who have gone through life self-conscious about the appearance of your nose, rhinoplasty may be the perfect solution. Rhinoplasty is a procedure in which the nasal bones or cartilage are reshaped into a more pleasing and graceful contour that will complement your other facial features. Most patients undergo rhinoplasty surgery to enhance their appearance and self-confidence by correcting a nose that is too large, out of proportion, crooked or injured.

Even the slightest alteration to a person’s nose can make a dramatic difference. The primary goal or rhinoplasty is to create facial harmony so the most prominent feature, the nose, is in perfect proportion.
