If you’re considering a permanent procedure to change the appearance of your nose, you’re not alone! In fact, the American Society of Plastic Surgery logged rhinoplasty as the third most performed plastic surgery procedure in 2018. But what if you’re concerned about the recovery time, cost, or just the idea of going under the knife? Winter Park Plastic Surgery offers a variety of ways for you to alter the shape of your nose with and without surgery.
Dermal Fillers
You can use dermal fillers to slightly change the shape of your nose. Your consultant will determine the best shape for your nose and inject dermal fillers into key areas of your nose to balance out any bumps or odd shapes. Since dermal fillers aren’t permanent, they are great for clients who don’t want to commit to a surgical procedure. Whatever your goals for your nose, we offer multiple dermal filler options, including Juvederm®, Restylane®, and Radiesse®.
Dermal fillers generally last between six to twelve months. After that, you can opt for follow-up sessions to maintain your results. Many people use dermal fillers to see what their nose will look like after rhinoplasty. As a matter of fact, many people are so happy with their fillers that they chose to get rhinoplasty after their fillers dissipate.
Rhinoplasty
Although dermal fillers are great as a non-surgical nose job, you have to get a rhinoplasty to truly change the shape of your nose. Some people also opt for rhinoplasty because they can’t achieve drastic changes or correct a previous injury with dermal fillers. Besides that, rhinoplasty can be used to change the structure of your nose for easier breathing. With rhinoplasty, you can improve cosmetic or functional issues with permanent results.
Is There Any Scarring?
Since your nose is right in the middle of your face, it’s natural to be concerned about scarring. Having a highly-skilled, board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Greenberg on your side is the best way to minimize visible scarring.
Dr. Greenberg uses advanced surgical techniques and skills to make small incisions in your nose along the natural creases. This way, any scars are well hidden. With his years of experience and artistry, you’re sure to get optimal results with minimal scarring.
How Much Downtime Should You Expect?
Giving your body time to heal is the most important part of any post-surgery care. That being said, recovery after rhinoplasty is fairly short. You can return to your normal activities within a week. You may experience some pain, swelling, and bruising around your eyes and nose. Most patients are happy to report that these side effects are easy to manage with over-the-counter medications.
In the first consultation, Dr. Greenberg will discuss with you your desired outcome and expectations. Throughout the whole process, he will work closely with you to come up with a customized procedure and post-surgical care plan so that you feel confident and know what to expect before, during, and after your rhinoplasty procedure.
