Will my nose get larger or change in appearance after rhinoplasty?

Posted December 23, 2011 12:48 PM in Rhinoplasty
by DR. PAUL NASSIF

Question:
Is it possible for the nose to continue to grow after a nose job even for an adult?

Answer:

When individuals age, they often experience drooping of the nasal tip. This is due to a loss of support. A drooping tip may create the appearance of a dorsal hump, and the dorsum now appears convex. This can contribute to the appearance of a larger nose. A rhinoplasty can help to bring up the tip and increase the nasolabial angle for a more youthful appearance. As one ages following a rhinoplasty, you may still notice subtle changes. However, if a solid support system is in place, the tip will... continue

Adjust appearance of the nose while fixing a deviated septum

Posted December 22, 2011 11:10 AM in Rhinoplasty
by DR. PAUL NASSIF

Question:
Can you correct my deviated septum and do a cosmetic nose procedure during the same appointment?

Answer:

Yes, this is a very common procedure known as a septorhinoplasty. Oftentimes, patients experience breathing issues from a deviated septum and desire a cosmetic improvement at the same time. Sometimes, a cosmetic change will also be necessary to improve one's breathing. For example, for a patient with a deviated septum and pinched nostrils, cosmetic alteration will be necessary to improve the patient's breathing. Thank you and I hope this helps.

Difference between open and closed rhinoplasty

Posted December 21, 2011 9:45 AM in Open Rhinoplasty
by DR. PAUL NASSIF

Question:
I've heard the terms open and closed rhinoplasty tossed around. Can you explain the differences between the two procedures?

Answer:

A closed rhinoplasty is an approach taken when a moderate amount of work needs to be performed. All of the incisions are made inside the nose. An open rhinoplasty allows me to get a better view of the inside of the nose, and we perform this when more involved work is necessary. There are certain things that can be performed during an open rhinoplasty that cannot be performed during a closed rhinoplasty. A small incision is made under the columella during an open rhinoplasty, which allows me to... continue
