Rhinoplasty
Are you considering rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a nose job? Perhaps the nose you were born with isn’t the size, shape, or symmetry appropriate for your other facial features. Maybe you have been injured and your nose, face, or breathing has been altered. If either of these reasons applies, rhinoplasty may be right for you.
The nose is the focal point of your face. Even a small change can have a dramatic effect on your appearance. Are you ready to make a change in the way you look? In your initial rhinoplasty consultation, Dr. Cohn will address any imperfections that can be corrected, ways to improve symmetry, and possible changes to the size and shape of your nostrils, nose, or nasal tip to give you a more natural, flattering appearance.

Rhinoplasty Procedures
A closed rhinoplasty is appropriate for patients who are looking for minor adjustments to the appearance of their nose. Dr. Cohn will begin the procedure with general anesthesia or intravenous sedation depending on the choice you make during your consultation appointment.
With a closed rhinoplasty, the incisions are made inside the nostrils, which means there is no visible scarring. However, this procedure is not appropriate for more extensive corrections.
An open rhinoplasty is appropriate for patients who require more extensive reshaping to improve the appearance of their nose. During this procedure, Dr. Cohn will make an incision between the nostrils, just under the tip of the nose. This provides him better access to the nasal structures and allows for a better ability to shape the nose.
While the incision and resulting scar are visible, every effort is made to make it as inconspicuous as possible, and it will be concealed on the underside of the nose.
Concerns
You should be prepared to discuss your medical history, providing as much information as possible. This will help Dr. Cohn determine if you are a good candidate for surgery.
Before you leave, Dr. Cohn will give you preoperative instructions. It is vital to follow these instructions in order to minimize complications and maximize your results.
Dr. Cohn will also provide you with postoperative care instructions. Following these instructions is vital to the success of your surgery. He will tell you how to care for your incisions, which medications you should be taking to reduce pain, what steps to take to reduce the risk of infection, and your timeline for follow-up appointments.
With rhinoplasty, the risk of scarring is dependent on the type of procedure you have. An open rhinoplasty will have a scar hidden on the columella on the underside of the nose. A closed rhinoplasty will have scars hidden inside the nostrils.
It is very common to experience some discomfort afterward, but Dr. Cohn will provide instructions on how to manage this pain with medication. Discomfort will subside with time, but if you are experiencing extreme pain, please call our office.
