What is Nose Reshaping?

Nose reshaping (sometimes referred to as a "nose job" or its medical term, "rhinoplasty") can enhance your facial features by modifying the shape of your nose. Plastic surgeons usually recommend that patients wait until they are at least 14 or 15, and possibly older for boys, before undergoing rhinoplasty. This is because the nose may not be fully developed at a younger age. If you are a teen, your Texas nose reshaping surgeon will want to be certain that you have thought carefully about surgery and that the desire to change your appearance is based on your own feelings, rather than those of your parents or friends.

Dr. Joseph M. Perlman at Advanced Plastic Surgery Centre in Spring can help you decide whether Spring nose reshaping is a good move for you. He and his staff will listen carefully to your reasons for wanting the surgery, so they can make sure you are on the right path. They have assisted various men, women and teens from Spring, The Woodlands and other sites in the Houston area.

Am I a Good Candidate for Nose Reshaping in Spring? Assuming you are in good health, there is no upper age limit for nose reshaping in Spring. Some of the indications that you may be a good candidate for rhinoplasty are: Your nose appears too large for your face. There is a bump on the nasal bridge when viewed in profile. Your nose seems too wide when viewed from the front. The nasal tip droops or plunges. The tip is thickened or enlarged. Your nostrils are excessively flared. Your nose is off-center or crooked. Previous injury has made your nose asymmetrical.

There are times when Spring nose reshaping is used to correct certain breathing problems that are related to the internal nasal structures. Dr. Perlman will be able to help you determine whether these structures should be modified along with reshaping your nose.

What is the Process for Nose Reshaping in Spring?

Rhinoplasty in Spring takes place under intravenous sedation or general anesthesia and typically lasts for one to two hours. There are two methods for the surgery: closed procedure, where the incisions are hidden in the nose, and open procedure, where an incision is made across the columella, the narrow strip of tissue that separates the nostrils. After the incisions, the soft tissues that cover the nose are raised, allowing your Spring nose reshaping surgeon to manipulate your nasal structure.

Spring nose reshaping is sometimes performed in conjunction with a facelift or other rejuvenating surgery. You can talk to Dr. Perlman about any additional procedures you would like. He will explain the full process of your nose reshaping in Spring during your initial meeting.

What Does Recovery Entail After Nose Reshaping?

When you undergo nose reshaping in Spring, you will probably require a splint, internal tubes or packing inside your nose. There will also be a splint or bandages placed on the outside to support and protect the new contours. Common side effects from the procedure include soreness, swelling and bruising, which may last for a few weeks. A Spring nose reshaping may also lead to some stiffness or numbness, particularly at the tip of the nose. Usually, patients can return to work within two weeks.
