How do I prepare for my Rhinoplasty?

We will provide you with a detailed list of instructions on how to best prepare for your surgery, but a few things that you will want to keep in mind include: Avoid certain medications (will be discussed during consultation) Don’t smoke or consume alcohol Don’t wear any make-up or apply cosmetics on the day of your procedure Have your prescriptions filled and in hand Ask for at least 10 days off of work Make sure you have cold compresses at home Plan your transportation ahead of time Try to eat and live healthy during the week leading up to your surgery

Is Rhinoplasty painful?

Rhinoplasty is generally associated with some discomfort rather than significant pain. Dr. Nikfarjam and our team prioritize your comfort throughout the process. Pain management strategies, including prescription medication and post-operative care instructions, will be provided to minimize any discomfort and help you through the recovery phase. Following these instructions carefully ensures a smoother and more comfortable healing experience.

How many appointments will I need?

The number of appointments for Rhinoplasty can vary based on individual factors and the complexity of the procedure. Typically, your Rhinoplasty journey with Dr. Nikfarjam at New You Plastic Surgery involves an initial consultation and a surgery date. Additional appointments will be made based on our patient’s needs. To get a clear appointment timeline, book a consultation today.

How long until I see results?

The timeline for seeing results from our Rhinoplasty can vary from person to person. Immediately post-op, you will notice some initial changes in the appearance of your nose. While you may have some immediate improvement in the shape and contour of your nose, the complete resolution of swelling and the final refinement of results may take several weeks to months. Swelling gradually subsides, allowing the nose to settle into its new shape and leave you with natural-looking Rhinoplasty results.

When can I resume exercise after Rhinoplasty?

You can resume taking long walks approximately one week after nasal surgery. By the second week, you can begin doing light treadmill and/or stationary bike exercises, but avoid exercises that include lifting heavy weights. You can begin lifting light weights by the 4th week, as long as Dr. Nikfarjam feels like you’ve healed well enough to do so.

When can I return to work after a Rhinoplasty?

In general, patients are well enough to return to work or school less than a week after their nose job. This is for patients who have more sedentary jobs or are still in school; if you work a physically strenuous job, we ask that you take two weeks off before you get back to your job. Most patients can confidently engage in social activities about two to three weeks after surgery when most bruising is gone. However, you shouldn’t go back to the gym for at least a month after your procedure to minimize injury risk to your fragile post-op nose.

Can I combine my nose surgery with other procedures?

Most patients who undergo Rhinoplasty surgery often ask about combining procedures, and the answer is absolute! It is very common to do so and can be tailored to individual needs. Dr. Nikfarjam will assess your overall health, aesthetic goals, and specific cosmetic concerns during your consultation. Depending on your unique situation, you may discuss combining rhinoplasty with complementary procedures such as Facelifts , Breast Augmentation , or other cosmetic enhancements.

What are the risks associated with Rhinoplasty?

Facial plastic surgery, like any other invasive procedure, carries certain risks. It’s important to be aware of potential complications, although they are relatively uncommon. Rhinoplasty risks may include: Infection Bleeding Anesthesia risks Asymmetry Skin irregularities Numbness or sensation changes Prolonged swelling Poor wound healing Cardiac or pulmonary complication Anesthesia allergies Skin discoloration

Can a deviated septum be corrected with the help of Rhinoplasty?

A deviated septum can be corrected using a procedure called septoplasty, where the plastic surgeon will reposition your septum in a more centered position. A deviant septum can also be corrected with this procedure. Since you are already undergoing septoplasty, the surgeon can also shape the outside of your nose with a rhinoplasty. There are several advantages to having a rhinoplasty and a septoplasty at the same time. The first is that the cost of facilities and fees are much lower when combined with functional operations and cosmetic procedures. The second advantage is that cartilage obtained from a septoplasty is available as transplant material for rhinoplasty.

Where are the incisions and scars for Rhinoplasty?

Achieving the desired nose through Rhinoplasty surgery does involve the creation of incisions. Typically, plastic surgeons strive to make these incisions as inconspicuous as possible, often locating them around the base of the nostrils. However, depending on the specific treatment needs, incisions may also be made inside the nostril, contributing to the concealment of any visible scarring. It’s important to note that every plastic surgery procedure will result in some degree of scarring, whether minimal or more noticeable. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to keep in mind that any remaining visible scars should fade over time.

Will insurance cover my surgery?

Rhinoplasty can be performed for both cosmetic or functional purposes, so it depends on the reason you’re getting the procedure. Unfortunately, if you are getting cosmetic surgery performed (i.e. fixing an asymmetrical nose, increasing or decreasing the size), your insurance company will not cover it, since it is an elective procedure. The good news is that if you’re getting functional Rhinoplasty for symptoms such as correcting a broken nose or improving nasal breathing, there is a good chance it can be covered by many insurance companies. However, insurance coverage will vary considerably according to each insurance company and policy. If you have any concerns or questions about your eligibility, it’s always a good idea to speak with your insurance provider before coming in for your consultation. Our office is very well experienced in dealing with insurance companies and we will assist with the insurance issues.

Why should choose a board-certified Rhinoplasty surgeon for my procedure?

When your plastic surgeon has been certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, this ensures that your plastic surgeon has spent years studying and being specifically trained in the art of Rhinoplasty. When you come into New You Plastic Surgery and have your surgery performed by Dr. Jeremy Nikfarjam in Long Island and NYC, this means you can comfortably go into your procedure with the knowledge that you are in experienced and qualified hands.

What is a Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, often referred to as a “nose job,” is a cosmetic surgical procedure in Manhattan and Long Island that focuses on reshaping and enhancing nasal aesthetics. Dr. Nikfarjam, the skilled leader at New You Plastic Surgery, employs his expertise to craft a harmonious and balanced nasal appearance.

Unlike a mere surgical intervention, cosmetic Rhinoplasty is an artful orchestration where subtle adjustments can have a profound impact, bringing your desired nasal contours to life. It’s not just a procedure, as our team makes sure your nose reflects the truest expression of your beauty.

Nose jobs can be performed as a closed rhinoplasty or an open rhinoplasty. In general, patients seeking smaller changes in their nose, like correcting a drooping tip or a dorsal hump, can be treated with either approach.

In a Rhinoplasty, the skin is elevated to reshape the nasal bones and cartilage. The various types of cartilage grafting include septal extension grafts, tip grafts, spreader grafts, alar rim grafts, and columella grafts are often used to reconstruct the nasal bridge or nasal tip or to correct other irregularities in nasal shape or appearance. Rhinoplasty can include septoplasty, turbinate reduction, and removal of deviated bone from the inside of your nose. In addition, a lip lift, cheek, or chin augmentation with implants or fat grafting can be combined with a Rhinoplasty procedure.

In addition to cosmetic reasons, nose surgery can be performed to improve functional concerns, such as a deviated septum that can cause difficulty breathing.

Techniques for Rhinoplasty

Every patient has a unique bone structure, facial profile, and needs, which is why at New You, we don’t just have an “out-of-the-box” procedure. Rhinoplasty can use a variety of techniques and methods to enhance your nose. Below, we have some brief descriptions of the kind that we offer.

Open Rhinoplasty

Open Rhinoplasty begins with a small incision across the columella, which separates the two nostrils. From here, the skin will be elevated to assess your bony and cartilage framework. At this point, your surgeon will have full exposure to perform corrections such as removing excess tissue, reshaping the cartilage and nasal bones, or placing cartilage grafts. Once the corrections are finished, the skin is repositioned and sutured for healing.

An Open Rhinoplasty will result in a scar at the incision site, however, this is usually well concealed. As time passes, the scar will fade and remain minimally visible.

Closed Rhinoplasty

The Closed Rhinoplasty technique is employed for patients needing minimal nasal correction. Your plastic surgeon will initiate this nose surgery by making small incisions inside each nostril. Subsequently, she performs necessary nasal corrections, such as sculpting the cartilage and nasal bones, removing excess tissue, or modifying the shape and size of the nostrils. Upon completion, the incisions are closed using dissolvable sutures.

Closed Rhinoplasty leaves no visible scarring, but due to limited access to this technique, not all patients are potential candidates.

Revision Rhinoplasty

When conducted by a skilled plastic surgeon, Rhinoplasty surgery can yield excellent results. Unfortunately, some Rhinoplasty patients with a previous surgery may not achieve the desired outcomes. Revision Rhinoplasty, also known as Secondary Rhinoplasty, is often deemed a more intricate cosmetic procedure by many plastic surgeons, given the heightened expectations of Rhinoplasty patients. Consequently, numerous Rhinoplasty surgeons may struggle to meet the specific results sought by their patients.

Nasal Anatomy

The nose is such a fascinating olfactory and respiratory organ. Not only does it make up a very prominent portion of the face, but it has the ability to detect over a trillion different smells, influence your taste buds, and even help you potentially find a mate by recognizing undetectable pheromones. It consists of the nasal skeleton, which houses the nasal cavity. The nasal cavity has four functions:

Warms and humidifies the inspired air
Removes and traps pathogens and particulate matter from the inspired air
Responsible for sense of smell
Drains and clears the paranasal sinuses and lacrimal ducts (the system that transmits tears from the surface of the eye to the nasal cavity)

For all of its intricacies and nuances, the nose is incredibly compelling and Dr. Nikfarjam has developed a thorough understanding and appreciation of nasal anatomy on his journey to become a plastic surgeon.

For your knowledge, we have included the structures that Nikfarjam and Dr. Sun takes into consideration during this plastic surgery:

As the overall protector of your nose and its inner workings, the upper portion of your nose has skin that is thinner and more mobile, while the lower portion is less flexible and thicker. When performing any kind of Rhinoplasty, Dr. Nikfarjam makes sure to leave the exterior of your nose as pristine as possible, making any necessary incisions inside the nostrils as often as possible.

Underneath the protective barrier of the skin projecting into the nasal cavity, are three curved shelves of bone called conchae – the inferior, middle, and superior. The function of this conchae is to increase the surface area of the nasal cavity, which increases the amount of air you can receive. They also disrupt the fast flow of the air, slowing it down so that the air spends longer in the nasal cavity so that it can be humidified.

The nose has several distinct cartilage structures that help support and give your nose its primary shape. These different types of connective tissue in your nasal cavity are called the septal nasal cartilage, lower lateral cartilage, and upper lateral cartilage.

The septal nasal cartilage separates one nasal cavity from the other. The upper lateral nasal cartilage is a wing-like expansion, providing support within the nasal cavities. The lower lateral cartilage holds up each naris (nostril) and provides form and strength at the base of your nostrils.
