Rhinoplasty in Boulder, Colorado

Experience a Safe, Surgical Nose Job

Rhinoplasty, known as a surgical nose job, is a popular cosmetic surgery for changing the nose’s look and functionality. Often, a nose that is “out of balance” with other facial features can negatively impact how we see ourselves. If you are one of these people, Rhinoplasty can help. This surgical procedure helps restore facial balance by reshaping the nose. In addition, Rhinoplasty is often used to restore nasal function or reconstruct the nose following facial trauma due to an accident or injury.

Dr. Goldman of Boulder Valley Laser & Cosmetic believes that your nose should harmonize elegantly with the other features of your face, so that it is a perfect fit for you. In addition, Dr. Goldman also specializes in revision Rhinoplasty and nasal reconstruction, helping patients who are unsatisfied with earlier nose jobs. If you are unhappy with how your nose looks or have suffered an accident or botched nose job surgery, Dr. Goldman and his team of experts at Boulder Valley Laser & Cosmetic can help.

What to Expect During Rhinoplasty

Before your Rhinoplasty surgery, you will meet with the expert, Dr. Goldman, for your Rhinoplasty consultation. This visit is to discuss various factors regarding the surgical nose job. Dr. Goldman will assess your nasal concerns and determine if a Rhinoplasty procedure is good for you based on your needs, medical history, physical exam, and nose job expectations. If Dr. Goldman determines this surgery is correct, your surgery will be scheduled.

Each Rhinoplasty surgery is customized to fit the person’s unique needs based on their anatomy and aesthetic goals. Rhinoplasty can be done through different surgical approaches, including cartilage, bone, or soft tissue manipulation. It may all be done inside the nose or through an external cut between the nostrils at the narrowest part.

In addition to correcting cosmetic issues, Rhinoplasty can correct a deviated septum when the wall between the two sides of the nose is bent or misshapen. Often, this causes problems with nasal functions in terms of breathing. During Rhinoplasty, the wall can be manipulated straight to make breathing easier.

After the surgery, you will be monitored and moved to a recovery room. Depending on your surgery and how you feel, you may be permitted to leave that day or be asked to stay overnight for observation.

Rhinoplasty Recovery

Common side effects of nose surgery include mild bruising and swelling for 1-2 weeks, and you can return to work within a few weeks after surgery. The nose’s appearance continues to improve for a year or so after.

Some Rhinoplasty recovery tips include:

Avoid physical activities like aerobics or jogging.

Avoid blowing the nose.

Sneeze and cough with your mouth open.

Avoid pulling clothing over your head. Try button-up blouses instead of shirts or sweaters.

Use ice packs to help minimize swelling and discomfort.
