Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job,” is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries performed in the US. It is a popular option for patients unhappy with the size or shape of their nose. In addition to the procedure’s well-known cosmetic benefits, rhinoplasty has evolved to have much more versatile applications, such as to improve nasal function after a traumatic injury, or to help with breathing problems that affect sleep and the ability to exercise.
The GOAL of a Rhinoplasty
The goal of rhinoplasty is to bring the nose into harmony and balance with the rest of the face. After all, a beautiful nose is one that does not attract the eye, but instead causes the observer to focus on your eyes instead. The procedure might include removal of the nasal hump, refining the nose tip, reshaping or resizing of the nostrils, or increasing or decreasing the nose’s overall size. If combined with a septoplasty (straightening of the septum), this procedure can improve not only a patient’s self-confidence but also breathing.
Rhinoplasty
Candidate
In general, candidates for rhinoplasty should be done growing. Facial growth in teens and young adults, for example, can affect the form and function of the nose over time. However, rhinoplasty is possible for girls who are at least 15 or 16 years old and boys should be at least 17 or 18.
The Consultation
During your consultation, Dr. Brandon will discuss your goals and assess you candidacy for surgery. Facial Aesthetic Concepts uses an advanced form of 3D imaging to give patients an idea of what their nose will look like after surgery. This educational tool is extremely valuable in communicating your goals prior to surgery.
The Procedure
Rhinoplasty generally takes approximately 3 hours and is usually an outpatient procedure. A small incision is made across the tissue between the nostrils as well as inside the nostrils. These incisions heal very well and are barely visible. If additional cartilage is needed to augment the nose, it is frequently taken from the patient’s nasal septum. In some cases, such as revision cases, this cartilage might be taken from an ear or rib.
Post Surgery
Following surgery, most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort that can be controlled with medication. Patients should expect to wear a cast on the outside of the nose for about a week after rhinoplasty to protect the nasal bones and cartilage. Additionally, patients should avoid strenuous activity such as jogging or swimming for two to three weeks and avoid wearing glasses for four to five weeks.

What is the Thermage Procedure?
The Thermage procedure was developed to help the signs of aging skin, it provides the most dramatic tightening and lifting of facial and neck tissue of any non-surgical procedure available today.
Thermage is a clinically proven, non-surgical facelift.
Benefits: There is a high level of deep tissue tightening with no downtime. It produces facial lifting and tightening, renewed facial contours, neck tightening and smoothing with no recovers time and no surgery. Improvement is immediate with increasing lifting and tightening over several months. Thermage can be performed on all skin types. It has been cleared by the FDA for the non-invasive treatment of facial wrinkles and rhytids.
How does it work?
The radiofrequency (RF) energy uniformly heats and stimulates the deep tissue that causes sagging and drooping facial features. It heats the collagen, thereby stimulating new collagen. Over time, new collagen grows to further tighten your skin and produce a more youthful appearance.
The Thermage procedure is the only non-invasive method to tighten loose skin.
When can I return to my normal activities?
You may return to your normal activities immediately, as there is usually no "downtime". Minimal redness is seen in some patients but it usually disappears shortly after treatment. Heat-related complications can occur but are uncommon. There is no special care needed after treatment. As a part of good skin care, sunscreen is recommended
When will the results show? Although in some patients the results are seen immediately, in most patients they will appear gradually over 4 to 6 months. Because the effects are so gradual, the patient may not see them. Photographic comparison with pre-operative pictures usually will show the changes. On the other hand, there is not an abrupt change so "no one needs to know"
How many treatments will I need?
A single treatment has produced good results in a significant number of patients.
