Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)

Rhinoplasty, sometimes referred to as a “nose job,” is performed to adjust the size and shape of your nose and improve your overall facial balance. Whether you were born with a nose that doesn’t ideally compliment your appearance or you have noticed changes because of aging or trauma, the experienced plastic surgeons at Legacy Plastic Surgery can help you look your best and feel more confident.

If you are unhappy with some aspect of your nose, please call 610-524-8244 to schedule a personal consultation with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon. We help patients from Exton, Paoli, the Main Line, Chester County, Philadelphia, Eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware and other areas.

GOOD RHINOPLASTY CANDIDATES

If you are dissatisfied with the appearance of your nose, you may be a good candidate for rhinoplasty surgery. This often life-altering procedure can dramatically improve your appearance and provide you with the positive self-image you deserve. Depending on your unique needs, Legacy Plastic Surgery can transform nearly any aesthetic aspect of your nose, including the:

  • Size
  • Width
  • Position
  • Direction
  • Slope
  • Hump
  • Asymmetry
  • Tip shape and position

Good candidates for nose surgery are in good general health and prepared to follow post-operative instructions. The best way to determine if nose surgery is right for you is to schedule a personal consultation with one of our skilled plastic surgeons. During your consultation, all aspects of your nose will be considered. Our surgeon will work closely with you to understand your specific goals, evaluate your anatomical structure and answer all of your questions.

TYPES OF NOSE SURGERY

Every nose, like every patient, is unique. No single rhinoplasty procedure is right for every patient. To meet your individual needs, we offer a variety of nose surgery options, including:

  • Open rhinoplasty: In an open or partially open rhinoplasty, a single external incision is made across the strut of the nostrils (columella). Soft tissues, cartilage and nasal bones are reshaped.
  • Closed rhinoplasty: In this procedure, incisions are only made inside the nostrils. The soft tissue, cartilage and nasal bones are then adjusted to improve the contours of the nose.
  • Revision rhinoplasty: If your previous nasal surgery did not provide the desired results, or if you have experienced a change in your aesthetic preferences since your procedure, revision rhinoplasty can be performed to correct these issues.

The technique used in your rhinoplasty will be selected based on your personal needs.

YOUR RHINOPLASTY CONSULTATION

The first step toward an improved appearance begins with an initial rhinoplasty consultation. During this comprehensive meeting, our surgeon will work to understand your goals and design a procedure that will provide you with the results you desire: an elegant, proportional nose that harmonizes naturally with your facial features.

Based on your unique goals and facial structure, our surgeon will explain if your expectations are realistic and attainable. He may recommend other facial plastic surgery procedures that may be more effective at bringing balance to your face, such as chin augmentation.
