Why Choose a Rhinoplasty Specialist?

There are several reasons you must be sure you are consulting with a specialist:

Nose reshaping requires intricate knowledge of both anatomy and function of the nose. This demands consistently exceptional techniques that are not in the repertoire of all plastic surgeons.
Revisions to primary or even secondary rhinoplasty are higher than any other cosmetic procedure, although Dr. Kornstein’s rhinoplasty revision rate remains quite low.
A “one size fits all” approach is an issue that can be avoided by choosing a surgeon with a keen aesthetic sense and the ability to harmonize your new nose with other facial features to enhance your total look. Dr. Kornstein understands the desires of his patients and uses images to communicate with them about the surgical natural nose job outcome.

Men’s Rhinoplasty

Anatomical differences make men’s rhinoplasty a specialized undertaking. Men tend to have a wider nasal base, a longer nose, and a higher bridge. The thickness of the skin, bone, and cartilage can also affect the nasal surgery process.

Women’s Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty Benefits

Patients are often curious about rhinoplasty’s benefits. Nasal surgery can address a variety of cosmetic issues with the nasal bridge, nasal tip, and nostrils. It can also effectively resolve nasal obstructions to restore proper breathing.

Rhinoplasty FAQs

Q: How Soon Can I Exercise After Rhinoplasty?

A: Typically, nasal surgery patients can resume exercise after around two weeks. Nasal swelling may occur after heavy exercise or other forms of strenuous activity. Additionally, any sports that have the potential to result in nasal trauma must be avoided for at least six weeks.

Q: How Are Grafts Used in Rhinoplasty?

A: Cartilage, bone, and soft-tissue grafts are primarily used to bolster structural support. Grafts are typically harvested from the patient and are then shaped according to their needs. After this, they are sewn into the targeted location in the nasal structure.
