Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a nose job, is a nose surgery that restructures the nose.

However, a Rhinoplasty may also be used to correct nasal function or repair facial trauma, such as a broken nose. Regardless of the reason, this popular cosmetic surgery provides men, women, and older teenagers with a safe and effective option for improving their appearance and restoring confidence.

Why Choose Dr. Thomas Romo For Rhinoplasty In Long Island?

Thomas Romo III, MD, FACS is a double board-certified plastic surgeon and the Director of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive surgery at Lenox Hill and Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat hospital. He is accredited worldwide for his extensive experience and expertise in performing nose jobs, including revision rhinoplasty and ethnic rhinoplasty. A pioneer in the field of facial plastic surgery, Dr. Romo is renowned for developing the “reduction structured rhinoplasty” technique. This method avoids the risk associated with traditional rhinoplasty to over-reduce the nasal architecture. This can lead to unnatural results, with noses looking too small, upturned, or appearing pinched. It can also interfere with the nose’s natural architecture, leading to functionality issues. Dr. Romo’s reduction structured technique preserves and strengthens the nasal architecture. This better ensures natural-looking results and full functionality. In addition to pioneering modern techniques, Dr. Romo is also involved in developing new technology, such as endoscopic instruments, to provide greater precision and less trauma during the rhinoplasty procedure.

For the best nose job results, you cannot find a more experienced, more proficient plastic surgeon than Dr. Thomas Romo.

What Can A Nose Job Do?

Rhinoplasties improve the appearance of the nose in several ways. These include, but are not limited to:

• Resizing a large nose or reshaping a non-symmetrical nose (reduction rhinoplasty)
• Reducing a bump in the nose
• Changing the shape of the nose
• Straightening twisted noses
• Improving the angle between the mouth and the nose
• Reconstructing the nose after facial trauma
• Correcting a broken nose that was not properly set
• Improving the appearance of small or flat shaped noses (augmentation rhinoplasty or ethnic rhinoplasty)

How is a nose job performed?

Rhinoplasties are performed in a surgical setting under general anesthesia. Depending on the complexity, the surgery typically takes between 2 to 3 hours. There are two major types of nose surgery: open and closed.

Open rhinoplasty is ideal for dramatic structural changes. During the procedure, Dr. Romo exposes the bone and cartilage using a small incision across the small section of skin between the nostrils, known as the columella. He then builds up or reduces the bridge of the nose. After the structural changes, the skin is re-draped and sutured. Nose job scars using the open method are small and become nearly invisible with time.

Closed rhinoplasty is a less invasive method and often used when resizing the nose or repairing breathing issues. The incision is made inside the nose, so no scarring is visible. After making the incision, Dr. Romo will separate the tissue from the bone and the cartilage. He will then reduce the cartilage or bone to reduce the size of the nose or add cartilage and bone to increase the size of the nose.

What to expect after surgery?

Immediately after your procedure, Dr. Romo will position a splint on your nose. This splint protects the new shape of your nose. You will wear this splint for five days. Most patients return to work within a week. Bruising typically fades within 10-14 days. Swelling can take around 3 weeks to go down. Results appear almost immediately but will be slightly obstructed while the area heals. Nose job scars are barely detectable. They are either located inside the nose itself or under the tip of the nose to conceal their presence. As with all cosmetic surgeries, individual experiences may vary.*

How Old Do I Need To Be To Have a Nose Job?

Many teenagers are interested in nose surgery to improve their cosmetic appearance. While nose surgery can significantly improve a teenager’s self-esteem, unfortunately, rhinoplasty should not be performed until the teenager has reached the age when their nose has stopped growing. For young men, this can be 17 or 18 years old. For young women, it can be 15 or 16 years old.
