  What are the different types of nasal surgery?  
  The following are some of the different types of nasal surgery:

Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems.

Rhinoplasty is the surgical repair of a defect of the nose, including reshaping or resizing the nose. Rhinoplasty may be performed to accomplish the following:
change the size of the nose
change the shape of the nose
narrow the nostrils
change the angle between the nose and lips
 
 
  Nasal surgery  
  Nasal surgery includes any surgery performed on the outside or inside of the nose. A common type of reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, nasal surgery may be performed to accomplish the following:  
 
improve breathing
correct congenital or acquired deformities
change size or shape of nose (cosmetic)
repair nasal injuries
 
     
  Septoplasty
Septoplasty is the surgical correction of defects and deformities of the nasal septum (the partition between the nostrils). Examples of septoplasty include the following:

 
 
correction of a deviated septum
  A deviated septum is a condition in which the partition (septum) between the nostrils is not in a straight vertical alignment. A deviated septum can cause obstructed airflow. A deviated septum can be caused by a birth defect or injury.
correction of cleft defects that affect the nose and nasal cavity
 
Will Insurance cover my surgery?
If your requests are of a functional nature (for example, you cannot breathe through your nose), many insurance companies will cover the part of the surgery that is required to correct these problems.

However, any requests that relate simply to change of appearance are generally not covered by insurance companies, and do require a cosmetic surgery fee.
   
 
  Procedure Description  
  An open or a closed technique is performed to make the nose smaller, reduce a hump on the nose, change the shape of the tip and sides of the nose, as well as other changes.

An incision will be made to gain access to the framework of the nose. This incision is usually placed within the nostrils. Cartilage is then sculpted away to reduce the size or shape. If the opposite result is desired, tissue may be added to increase the size of the nose. The septum may be trimmed to correct droopiness or may be realigned to correct breathing problems.

Most nasal surgery patients have a definite idea as to how they would like to improve or refine the shape of their nose. Usually they don’t like the “nasal hump” on the bridge, the thickness of the nasal tip, or the width of their nose. The nasal septum, (the structure that separates the two nostrils inside the nose), is composed of cartilage and bone. It may become deviated or twisted, either through the trauma of birth, or as the result of an accidental injury. This deviation may alter the pattern of air flow through the nose, making it more difficult to breathe. In addition, the nose may appear crooked with a “hump”.

Often, a surgical procedure used to correct breathing through the nose also improves its appearance. Reduction of the “nasal hump”, refinement of the nasal tip, narrowing of the width, and straightening of the nose are combined into one procedure. In order to eliminate visible scarring, the nasal surgery is done entirely from within the nostrils. The goal is to achieve a more natural appearance, without a “turned up” or artificial look.

 
  How does our doctors figuring out what is wrong and then how to fix it?  
 
There is both a science and an art to revision rhinoplasty. There are certain approaches, techniques, and so forth that are important. Then, just like artists, and athletes, and virtually all professions in life, some surgeons are simply better at revision rhinoplasty than others.

Our doctors ENT and board certified  experienced surgeons understand the underlying causes of the various problems occurring in revision surgery. Understanding the anatomic cause of each complication provides a guide to the correct approach to repair. Often there is more than one concern and these can relate to each other in a complex fashion.

Sometimes if a problem is focused and limited, a targeted, limited approach can fix the problem. Other times, a more comprehensive reconstruction is needed.

The two approaches are the endonasal or "closed" Rhinoplasty (all incisions hidden inside the nose) and the external or "open" Rhinoplasty (all incisions EXCEPT one small incision are inside the nose. In open rhinoplasty there is one small incision across the columella (the skin between the nostrils).

In Silverlake Virgil Surgical Center, Inc our Board Certified ENT  performs both endonasal (closed) and external (open) Rhinoplasty. In his experience, the closed approach is more suitable for some noses, while the open technique is more suitable for others.

Since every nose is different and has unique surgical requirements doctor r discusses the options with each patient and is happy to describe his surgical plan in detail. Fortunately, there are no major disadvantages to either approach. However, each approach has special advantages for specific situations. Since every nose is different and has unique surgical requirements our doctors  will  discuss the options with each patient
 
 
  Rhinoplasty for Men  
 

Rhinoplasty for Men

Rhinoplasty surgery, as far as the procedure is concerned, is essentially the same for men as it is for women. But there are differences in the aesthetics of the male nose versus the female nose that must be taken into consideration. While every case must be addressed individually, based on your physical condition and goals, there are certain aesthetic commonalities in male noses.

Learn more about male rhinoplasty procedures


Male rhinoplasty is a surgery for men that has become very popular in light of the fact that it can alter the shape and contour of the nose, a source of embarrassment and self-consciousness for many men. Before you make a decision to undergo the procedure, educate yourself about who is a good candidate for male rhinoplasty, the procedure itself, and the possible risks and benefits involved.

Candidates for Male Rhinoplasty

Male rhinoplasty surgery candidates should be at least 16 years old, which is about the age when the nose stops growing. It is imperative that candidates be looking to improve the shape of their nose, not to achieve a perfect contour.

A good candidate may feel that his nose is either too large or too small in comparison to the rest of his face. He may also be unhappy with the appearance of the nasal tip if it droops, is bulbous, or protrudes too far out. While the majority of male candidates are simply dissatisfied with the physical appearance of their noses, many others seek rhinoplasty in order to breathe easier or to fix deformities.

Male Rhinoplasty Procedure

Rhinoplasty for men is a surgery designed to change the shape and contour of the nose for both aesthetic and health-related improvements. While male rhinoplasty surgery is primarily thought of as an aesthetic procedure, it can greatly help patients who have trouble breathing due to bone and cartilage defects and deformities.

By changing the contour and shape of different parts of the nose – the tip, the nostrils, or the bridge – as well as by adjusting the overall size, symmetry, and orientation of the nose, male rhinoplasty provides patients with very satisfying results. Oftentimes, surgeons will recommend combining rhinoplasty for men with other cosmetic procedures such as a face lift or chin implants in order to bring about a much more dramatic and well-balanced facial change.

Rhinoplasty for men is typically performed on an outpatient basis and takes about one to three hours to complete, though surgeries to correct more complicated problems may take longer. The surgery requires the skin of the nose to be lifted away from the underlying bone and cartilage so that the surgeon can sculpt the nose into the desired shape. After the cartilage and bone have been shaped as the surgeon sees fit, the skin is draped back over the repaired nose and allowed to heal. A splint is applied to assist in keeping the new shape of the nose, and nasal packing may be inserted to hold the tissue that separates the nostrils stationary. The splint is typically removed after two weeks and the packing removed after a few days.

REVISION RHINOPLASTY
Following are some common questions asked by those considering REVISION RHINOPLASTY
 
Question: I think my first surgeon took too much from my nose. Can you fix this?
Answer: This is a common reason for revision rhinoplasty. No matter where in your nose too much has been removed, Doctor's experience is that improvement is often possible.
 
Question: I want my nose to look natural again. Can you do this?
Answer: This is the most common request our patients have, and is perhaps the most important objective in revision rhinoplasty. Doctor is experienced at repairing the "over-operated" nose. While each case is different, in Doctor's experience it is usually possible to make significant improvement.
 
Question: My nose is too small. Can you make it bigger?
Answer: Yes, if a patient's nose has been over-operated and now looks too small, Doctor can generally improve it. He also can generally fix noses that are too short, too long, too narrow, too wide, twisted, and so forth.
 
Question: Is there a lot of pain or nausea?
Answer: Not typically. Time after time, Doctor's patients are surprised at how little pain and how little nausea there is. After-surgery pain is usually well-controlled with a mild narcotic. We are especially proud of our anesthesia team, who provide expert anesthesia that keeps after-surgery nausea to a minimum.
 
Question: What is the recovery period?
Answer:
  Patients may experience some degree of bruising and swelling to progressively resolve over two to four weeks
  A splint will be placed on the outside of the nose and possibly on the inside as well. Both types of splints are used to protect the, now delicate, nasal structures.
  Bed rest the day of surgery is recommended.
  Limit activity for the next two days following surgery.
  Avoid strenuous activities for about four to six weeks.
  Return to work in about one to two weeks.
 
Question: Will insurance cover my surgery?
Answer: If your requests are of a functional nature (for example, you cannot breathe through your nose), many insurance companies will cover the part of the surgery that is required to correct these problems.

However, any requests that relate simply to change of appearance are generally not covered by insurance companies, and do require a cosmetic surgery fee.
 
Question: I live far away, how do I arrange to see you and to have surgery?
Answer: You can contact Doctor's office and arrange an appointment. Many patients come for an initial visit and schedule surgery at the end of this initial visit. They then return for their surgery. Occasionally a patient may wish to come into town for consultation followed by surgery the next day. This is possible but obviously must be arranged in advance.
 
Question: The tip of my nose looks pointy, twisted and abnormal. Can you fix my nasal tip?
Answer: Yes, it has been Doctor's experience that significant improvements are possible in this relatively common problem.
 
Question: Do you do Computer Imaging?
Answer: Yes. Computer imaging is a very helpful way to communicate surgical goals. It is important for the surgeon to know what the patient wants to accomplish, and the patient must know what the surgeon envisions as a goal for the surgical result. Computer imaging is extremely useful to communicate this information, and we therefore perform computer imaging on virtually all patients prior to surgery.
 
Question: I'm not sure what I need to have done, I just know I don't like it!
Answer: We understand! Some patients know how they want their nose to look, but other revision rhinoplasty patients are frustrated, angry, and even a little scared. They know they don't like their nose, but they are upset and confused and just want someone to help them! We understand this and will take the time to work with you to help you have a happy outcome.
 
Question: I am scared!
Answer: We understand! You have had a bad experience, so it is okay to feel that way. It is important for you to be confident in the surgeon you choose to perform your revision rhinoplasty. Doctor is proud of his surgical results, but he also wants his patients to feel at ease. Doctor's staff plays an important role in helping his revision rhinoplasty patients feel more at ease before and after surgery.
 
Question: How do I know if I am a candidate for revision rhinoplasty?
Answer: If you have had a rhinoplasty and do not like the way your nose looks, and if you are in good health, then you are eligible for a revision rhinoplasty consultation. The next step is to meet with a skilled surgeon to see if surgery can meet your expectations. In Doctor's practice, Doctor talks to you in detail and examines you. Then, he explains his realistic expectations for your surgery and will let you know if he thinks you are a good candidate.
 
Question: Is this outpatient surgery?
Answer: YES
 
Question: Ever since my rhinoplasty, I can't breathe well through my nose. Can you fix this?
Answer: Yes. Unfortunately, this is a common complaint. Fortunately we are usually able to substantially improve nasal breathing. A number of the patients in the Photo Album had this problem. Many times, patients request improvement in breathing and appearance
