  • Does rhinoplasty leave a scar?

    The vast majority of rhinoplasties are performed intranasally without any external scarring. Scars that would form would be internal and rarely pose any kind of problem. There are certain techniques that require external incisions such as open rhinoplasty technique or alar base resection. READ MORE

  • Can I brush my teeth after rhinoplasty?

    Absolutely, as long as you're using a reasonable amount of pressure and nothing exotic. There should be no limits in that area. READ MORE

  • Can you wash your face after a rhinoplasty?

    With an external splint over the nose, you cannot shower, but you can sponge-bathe your face. A dry shampoo option is considered but not a regular shampoo. Once the external splint comes off you can shower as normal which is usually 5 to 7 days post-up. READ MORE

  • How long is nose swollen after rhinoplasty?

    Initial swelling is significantly reduced within one week. However, patients with thicker oily and olive-type skin will hold on to it much longer sometimes well over a month. On rare occasion, some patients will have chronic swelling that can last for many months. READ MORE

  • Will rhinoplasty make my nose smaller?

    It certainly could, depending upon the deformity you're trying to correct. Some patients have a very wide nose and others have a very bulbous tip. In those cases, you certainly would see a reduction in size. Other corrective changes may be more of correcting a deformity or distortion, but not necessarily making it smaller. READ MORE

  • What is the treatment for a deviated septum?

    Treatment of a Nasal Septal deviation is one that requires outpatient surgery, after medical management has failed. These procedures are performed as an outpatient either in a Surgicenter or Hospital. The septum can be repositioned [Septoplasty] or can have some of the cartilage or bone removed [SMR - Submucous Resection] . These procedures are performed through the nostril without any external incisions. Sometimes there are also other stuctures that can restrict ones breathing that can also be treated to ensure maximal benefit, namely Enlarged Turbinates [Turbinoplasty]. They are often treated simultaneously. These procedure can be performed within 30 - 45 minutes. Risk factors are minimal and infrequently noted. Your surgeon will discuss the details of the procedure, recovery, and risk factors during your pre-op interview. I hope this information will be helpful. Joseph Ardito MD READ MORE

  • Does fat come back after lipo?

  • Can a plastic surgeon fix a facial scar?

    Yes. There are many varied pattern of wound healing, genetically.

  • Is it safe to have a nose job in the summer?

    Yes, it is safe, but there may be somewhat greater swelling, especially if you have an "outdoor lifestyle." You also cannot get any sunburn for at least 6 months after rhinoplasty surgery, which makes it somewhat more challenging. There is no greater risk of infection in the warmer seasons. READ MORE

The location and type of procedure are also major factors regarding pain. Fear of the unknown can also make things worse for some patients, so adequate pre-op counseling can really help. READ MORE
