Rhinoplasty in NYC

Dr. Singh’s world-class facial plastic surgery training, artistry, and personalized approach can give you a refined and balanced nose that enhances your other features.

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, or a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose to improve its appearance or function. This versatile surgery can adjust the nose’s size, shape, and proportions to correct various cosmetic and functional concerns. Under the expert hands of Dr. Mansher Singh, rhinoplasty can refine nasal contours, adjust the bridge or tip, resize the nose, correct asymmetry, and create an ideal harmony among the other facial features. In addition to its cosmetic benefits, a rhinoplasty in NYC can address functional issues such as a deviated septum, nasal polyps, and enlarged turbinates, enhancing both form and function.

What Can Rhinoplasty Treat?

Patients seek rhinoplasty for a variety of reasons, often due to a wish to enjoy a more aesthetic facial balance. This surgery is highly individualized, addressing several aesthetic and functional issues, including:

Reducing Larger Nose Size: Resizing the nose to create a more ideal proportion, balanced with the other facial features.
Correcting a Drooping Nose Tip: Revising the shape and size of the nose tip to make it less prominent.
Reducing a Hump on the Nose Bridge: A hump or bump on the nose bridge can be refined to create a more appealing, less noticeable nose shape.
Correcting a Pinched Nose Tip: If the nose tip has a “pinched” look, it can be surgically corrected.
Adding Structure and Volume to the Nose Bridge: A flatter nose bridge can be refined to be more structured and refined in shape.
Correcting Long, Wide, or Large Nostrils: The nostril shape and size can be revised to create a more balanced harmony among the facial features.
Creating Nose Symmetry: Correcting deviations or asymmetry.
Treating Structural Concerns: Repairing a broken nose or correcting congenital defects.
Improving Nose Function: Enhancing breathing by correcting nose structure issues such as a deviated septum.

Dr. Singh’s approach to rhinoplasty is highly customized, ensuring that each modification harmonizes with the patient’s facial features while achieving the desired aesthetic or functional outcome.

Rhinoplasty: World-Class Nose Reshaping Surgery with Dr. Singh

Dr. Mansher Singh approaches rhinoplasty with meticulous care, tailoring each procedure to the patient’s unique facial structure and specific goals. The journey begins with a detailed consultation where Dr. Singh will discuss your vision for your nose shape and size, assess the nose structure, and offer insights into the best approach. Depending on the complexity of the case and the required alterations, Dr. Singh may employ one of two techniques: open or closed rhinoplasty.

Open Rhinoplasty

In this technique, Dr. Singh makes a small incision across the columella, the tissue between the nostrils. This approach provides extensive access to the nasal structure, allowing for precise adjustments. It is particularly effective for complex cases such as reshaping the nasal tip, correcting severe asymmetry, or reconstructing the nose after an injury. The main downside is that scarring may be more visible than the closed approach.

Closed Rhinoplasty

In closed rhinoplasty, Dr. Singh creates incisions within the nostrils, leaving no visible scars. This technique is ideal for minor adjustments to the nasal bridge or tip. While it offers a shorter recovery period and no visible scarring, it is more challenging for the surgeon and is best suited for less complex cases. Dr. Singh carefully reshapes the nasal structure by adjusting the bone and cartilage. He may remove or add tissue to achieve the desired size and shape or employ an advanced technique using grafts from the cartilage or bone for additional support.

I recently had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Singh and I couldn't be more ecstatic about the results—even just 2 weeks post-op! The transformation I've seen already is beyond my expectations, and I can't even imagine how incredible it will look in the coming months.

Closed vs. Open Rhinoplasty—What’s Right for You?

Rhinoplasty can be performed using two main techniques: closed and open rhinoplasty. The choice between these methods depends on various factors, including the complexity of the case.

Open Rhinoplasty

Pros:

Provides superior visibility and access for the surgeon.
Ideal for complex or extensive nasal reshaping.
Enables detailed corrections to the nasal tip and overall structure.

Cons:

This results in a small scar on the columella (the strip of tissue between the nostrils).
More extended recovery period due to its more invasive nature.

Closed Rhinoplasty

Pros:

No visible scarring as incisions are made within the nostrils.
Generally, a shorter recovery period.
Reduced post-operative swelling and discomfort.

Cons:

Limited access to nasal structures may not be suitable for complex cases.
There is less visibility for the surgeon, making intricate adjustments more challenging.
It may not effectively address more significant structural or aesthetic concerns.

Recovery After Nose Reshaping Surgery: What to Expect

Recovery from rhinoplasty is gradual, with the initial phase focused on resting while the tissues heal. Dr. Singh may place a cast on the nose after surgery to protect and maintain the results. It is crucial to keep the head elevated to reduce swelling. Any discomfort is manageable with prescribed medication. During the first healing phase, all vigorous physical activity must be avoided.

The first week is crucial for monitoring the healing process, with a follow-up visit to remove splints or stitches. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work or other activities within two to three weeks. The final results may take up to a year as residual swelling fades.

A Private Consultation with Dr. Singh in NYC

Your journey to achieving the ideal nasal appearance begins with scheduling a consultation with Dr. Mansher Singh, an accomplished plastic surgeon. During this meeting, Dr. Singh will discuss your goals, evaluate your nose, and recommend the best approach to achieve the desired results. Many plastic surgeons avoid performing rhinoplasty, which is among the most complex facial surgeries.

To achieve long-lasting, stable results, you must be under the care of a rhinoplasty surgeon in NYC with a breadth of experience and knowledge in this procedure. Dr. Singh performs rhinoplasty revisions, which may be needed when a nose surgery fails and leads to a bridge collapse, uneven results, or a failure to meet the patient’s aesthetic vision. For some patients, a non-surgical rhinoplasty may be a good option. Using dermal fillers to alter nose shape can achieve excellent results in less significant nose shape issues.

How much does a nose job cost?

The cost of rhinoplasty varies based on the specific technique used. For a precise cost estimate, consulting with Dr. Singh will allow him to evaluate your nose structure and discuss the issues you want to change.

How long does it take to recover?

Initial recovery from rhinoplasty typically takes one to two weeks when visible swelling and bruising subside. Most patients feel well enough to return to work and normal activities at that time. However, minor swelling may persist for several months, and it can take up to a year for the nose’s final shape to fully settle. Dr. Singh provides detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth and successful healing.

How long will my results last?

The results of rhinoplasty last a lifetime. While the nose will naturally change as you age, the improvements made during the surgery do not change with time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following Dr. Singh’s care instructions will help.

Am I a good candidate?

Good candidates for rhinoplasty are individuals seeking to improve the appearance or function of their nose. Ideal candidates should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the outcomes, and not smoke. Those with structural issues causing breathing difficulties or dissatisfaction with their nose’s size, shape, or symmetry may also benefit. During a consultation, Dr. Singh will discuss your goals and medical history to determine your suitability for the procedure.
