NY Rhinoplasty Surgery - Certified Rhinoplasty Surgeon in New York

Your nose is the centerpiece of your face and plays an important role in the overall appearance of your face and defining the way you look. Many people are dissatisfied with the look of their nose for so many reasons. Their nose might be too large at either the nasal tip or the dorsum, too wide with enlarged nostrils, a bulky unrefined nasal tip, having an unsightly bump either natural or from an injury, or just the wrong overall shape for your face. Or there might be an obstruction of the nasal passages that makes breathing difficult. Whatever the problem, whether aesthetic or functional, a nose rhinoplasty surgery NY can help!

Q&A

Is there a definition of the perfect nose?

There is no definition of the perfect nose itself. The perfect nose is the nose that fits your face and is proportional to you. Very often, patients will go to a surgeon who mistakenly gives everyone the same nose. The nose needs to fit the person; their personality, their face, their overall appearance, their body, their ethnicity and more. All of those elements combined add up to what that person’s nose should look like and be the perfect nose for them.

What is rhinoplasty surgery / a nose job and how does it work?

The first step is a detailed consultation with Dr. Elkowitz to discuss your concerns. Then, during the procedure, nearly invisible incisions are made mostly inside the nose. These allow access to the underlying framework where we carefully remove and rearrange precise amounts of bone and cartilage thereby creating the perfect nose for you.

Rhinoplasty procedures generally take a few hours. Recovery is relatively painless, and bruising usually lasts less than a week.

What is revision rhinoplasty?

Sometimes referred to as “revision rhinoplasty,” secondary rhinoplasty is a procedure performed on patients who have previously undergone nasal surgery and are unhappy with the results. We often take on extremely difficult cases, transforming unsatisfying results into a beautiful and natural-looking nose.

Are there different considerations for men and women getting a nose job?

In general, the surgical techniques are similar for both men and women when it comes to a nose job but there are important differences to consider. For example, for men it is important to avoid feminizing the nose, making it too dainty. With women, it’s important to avoid making the nose too small or overworked where it would look unnatural.

How long does it take to recover from a nose job?

You will need to rest and relax for around 1-2 weeks after your surgery. Your nose may be swollen after the procedure, but most patients will see results immediately after surgery. Those results continue to improve over time, as subtle swelling goes away and the effect of the new framework appears.
