What is Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)?

Rhinoplasty (rai·now·pla·stee) is a popular nose surgery meant to change the shape of the nose. Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves reshaping the nose. It is usually performed by plastic surgeons who specialize in cosmetic surgery. There are many different types of procedures that can be done during nasal surgery. Some of these include: septorhinoplasty, endoscopic, open, closed, and revision rhinoplasty.

Resorting to nasal surgery is often to change ones appearance but it can also be used to improve breathing. Cosmetic rhinoplasty can require modifying the bone shape, cartilage and skin to change the appearance of the nose. The upper section of the nose is made of bone while the lower parts are made of cartilage. Before rhinoplasty, your plastic surgeon should always consider all your other facial features and not just focus on your nose in order to obtain perfect facial harmony.

Nose job surgery is one of the most common procedures performed in New York City today. Rhinoplasty surgery not only reshapes the nose, but also has a significant effect on the balance of your facial features. Reshaping the nose includes removal of the dorsal hump, narrowing a wide tip, lifting a droopy nose, straightening a crooked nose, reducing the size, and more.  Sometimes, rhinoplasty is covered by insurance.

I always personally follow up with my patients after the procedure.

Performing a physical exam before rhinoplasty

Dr. Shahar will conduct a physical exam and blood tests before considering rhinoplasty. Dr. Shahar will carefully examine your nose (inside and outside), facial features and facial proportions. Dr. Shahar is renowned for achieving perfect facial harmony. This exam is necessary to determine the changes that need to be made to achieve perfect harmony and a natural looking nose. He will look at the thickness of your skin, the upper section bone structure of your nose, the lower portion to test cartilage resistance.

Taking photos of your face and nose

Dr, Shahar and his assistant will take pictures of your nose in proportion to your face. They will take photos of your nose from different angles. This will help Dr. Shahar envision the perfect nose for you considering your facial features to achieve the best symmetry. These photos allow to discuss the specific action plan and goals before the rhinoplasty (before and after nose job).

Nose job patient reviews

"My experience with Dr. Shahar was a very positive one. I went to him for under-eye surgery. He understood what I wanted and he executed it perfectly to my taste. I was very nervous to have this procedure done so it was good that Dr. Shahar was very approachable. I met with him several times to discuss what I wanted done. I was also able to go through photos of his previous clients who had had similar procedures. This helped build my confidence in him, as I really liked his previous work. Dr. Shahar is careful and conservative in his approach and has a great eye for knowing how to enhance and make a person look their best while maintaining a natural look. I am very pleased with my results."

"After surgery, during which my nose also had to be realigned due to a fracture from a childhood accident, recovery was minimal! My bandages came off in 5 days and a week later I had no more bruising! You know the doctor did a precise cautious job when there is minimal bruising or other signs of damage. Pre and post-surgery service and attention was excellent, taking care to answer any of my concerns and honestly approaching any challenge. I couldn’t be happier with the results! Dr. Shahar made my face look like it was meant to. My nose looks completely natural and complimentary to my features..."
