Ask Dr. Man - Rhinoplasty

Dear Dr. Man, I’m 60 years old and my kids are grown and out of the house. I live in Boca Raton and I’ve been going to the gym and have lost weight and I feel great. However, now that I’ve lost weight, I feel like my nose looks even bigger than before. I’m thinking of getting a nose job, but I’m unsure of what to expect. Can you please give me some information about what a nose job entails? Am I too old to get this surgery?

For many years you have wanted to improve the nose; now you have an opportunity to address the issue once and for all. Surgery to reshape the nose (otherwise known as rhinoplasty) is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. It is common among people of all ages, both men and women. Rhinoplasty can be used to reshape the nose in many ways, depending on the patient’s needs and desires. Some of these ways include reducing the size of the nose, changing the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrowing the span of the nostrils, or even changing the angle between your nose and the upper lip. Rhinoplasty can also help relieve some breathing problems.
The best candidates for rhinoplasty are people who are looking to improve their appearance, are physically healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic in their expectations.
Rhinoplasty can be performed under local with IV sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure and on what you and your surgeon prefer. Rhinoplasty usually takes an hour or two; however, complicated procedures may take longer. When the surgery is complete, a splint will be applied to help your nose maintain its new shape. Nasal packs or soft plastic splints also may be placed in your nostrils to stabilize the septum, the dividing wall between the air passages.

When rhinoplasty is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, complications are infrequent and usually minor. You can reduce these risks by carefully following your surgeon's instructions. In the days following surgery, your face may be bruised, but this passes. Each day, your nose will begin to look better. Healing is a gradual process; and some subtle swelling may be present for months after surgery.

Rhinoplasty can do wonders to enhance your appearance and boost your self-confidence. Your age should not be a problem, as long as you are in good health. When meeting with your plastic surgeon, discuss your expectations and realistic options for you.

Ask Dr. Man- Rhinoplasty

Dear Dr. Man, I just graduated college and would like to get a nose job. I’ve always had an unsightly bump and I have huge nostrils. Let’s just say my nose is, by no means, my best feature. Can you please tell me what a nose job entails and what I can expect?

Ask Dr. Man- Rhinoplasty

Dear Dr. Man, My daughter is graduating high school this year and is very self-conscious about her nose. She hates the bump on her nose. I don’t think it’s that bad, but it really bothers her. She’s going off to college next year and wants to get this fixed before she goes away. Is she too young? What exactly does this procedure entail?

Ask Dr. Man- Rhinoplasty

Dear Dr. Man, I’m a 52 year old man who recently got divorced and am looking to start dating again. However, I’m self-conscious because of my nose, which is quite big and slightly curved. I’m seriously considering plastic surgery to correct it. Can you tell me more about what this procedure entails? Do only young people and women have this surgery? Signed, Bruce in Boca Raton
