Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty)

Rhinoplasty Mobile Alabama – Rhinoplasty

You may be a candidate for nose reshaping (rhinoplasty) if you have a nose that is cosmetically unattractive or does not “fit” with your other facial features. Rhinoplasty, Mobile Alabama plastic surgeons say, may also be indicated for abnormal appearance of the nose as a result of birth defects, injury, or disease. Nose reshaping is intended to produce a more attractive nasal shape and/or a nose in better proportion to other facial features. Large nostrils may also be reduced during a rhinoplasty procedure.

Rhinoplasty is done on an outpatient basis under sedation, and local or general anesthesia. Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. The majority of swelling and bruising subsides progressively over 2–4 weeks. The semifinal result of a nose reshaping procedure is evident in 3 months. The final result is evident in 12–14 months. An additional procedure that may enhance the result is a chin enlargement.

Rhinoplasty is not covered by insurance if being done for cosmetic reasons. If however, the nasal deformity is due to recent injury, insurance coverage may be available. Pre-authorization information can be obtained from your insurance company. The specific risks and the suitability of nose reshaping for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation. Like all surgical procedures, rhinoplasty, Mobile Alabama plastic surgeons caution, carries some degree of risk.

Minor complications that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally. Major complications are unusual.
