The nose is the most prominent feature of our face. An “unsightly” nose can stigmatize a person for their entire life. Plastic surgery can successfully alter the nose and rhinoplasty is a very popular procedure.
A barely invasive, office based procedure is performed as of late in order to lift and reshape the nose tip with just a local anesthetic.
This procedure is used only in case the nose tip has a downward slant or the tip is bulbous and there are no other problems requiring a typical rhinoplasty. The big advantage is that it is office based, the patient is not under general anesthesia and there is no swelling or bruising.
- The surgical incision is made at the base of the nose where it is not visible and there is no pain.
- For a few days you should avoid heavy exercise.
- The results are immediate, you experience no swelling or bruising and no splint is used.
