Under sedation, typically general anesthesia, nose surgery is conducted as an outpatient procedure. Rhinoplasty encompasses diverse surgical techniques tailored to address your specific concerns, problems, and desires. Dr. Mang employs either a closed approach or an open method, aiming to reduce excess tissue and cartilage or enhance and add cartilage for reshaping. Your nose is repositioned, and the skin is meticulously reformed and draped over the newly enhanced framework. Sutures are strategically placed, either on the inside portion of the nose or in the natural external fold.

After your nose surgery, we'll ensure you rest comfortably in our soothing recovery area before our nurses release you for home recovery. Expect noticeable swelling and bruising around your nose and its surroundings in the initial days, often accompanied by discoloration under the eyes. To alleviate these effects, cold compresses and inflammatory medications are recommended. A follow-up meeting with Dr. Mang within the first several days is crucial for monitoring your healing progress. Typically, rhinoplasty recovery spans about 2 – 4 weeks, and it's vital to refrain from strenuous activity or exercise during this healing period.

How much does rhinoplasty cost?
The cost of rhinoplasty varies based on what technique is used and how complex your procedure is. Before estimating costs, Dr. Mang will listen to your concerns and goals to help develop your custom treatment plan. Once this is done, he can discuss costs for the facility, anesthesia, and more. To get your best results, it's important to focus on choosing an experienced surgeon, like Dr. Mang, instead of the cheapest cost.

An injectable filler can temporarily correct minor imperfections, which may help you decide to proceed with rhinoplasty. Nose surgery is better for larger changes, long-lasting results, and to adjust the internal structure of the nose for better function. During your consultation, Dr. Mang can let you know if you may be a candidate for nonsurgical nose reshaping.

During your consultation with Dr. Mang, you can discuss what you want to keep and what you would like to change. This will allow him to personalize your treatment plan to give you your best results.

Can I combine nose surgery with other facial surgeries?
Many patients consider combining rhinoplasty with another procedure, like a chin or cheek augmentation. Combining surgeries for a more dramatic result can be discussed during your consultation with Dr. Mang. Once he understands your goals, he can help you choose which procedures will be in your treatment plan. Rhinoplasty can often help your whole face look more balanced, so you should wait to see your results before considering another procedure.

Will there be visible scars after rhinoplasty?
Incisions are typically made inside the nostrils or across the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), resulting in minimal visible scarring. With proper care, any scars usually fade significantly over time.
