Rhinoplasty

A rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure to reshape a person’s nose. It can narrow and straighten a nose, remove a hump, narrow nostril width or change the angle between the nose and the mouth, and also can correct other problems that affect breathing. Rhinoplasty is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. The entire procedure generally lasts around three hours. Results depend on the patient’s nasal structure, facial shape, skin thickness and age. During your consultation Dr. Shock will discuss with you your concerns and help develop a plan to best treat them.  Following surgery you will likely have a splint over top your nose and stents inside of your nose.
