What is a rhinoplasty?

A rhinoplasty, also called a nose job, is a surgical procedure that alters the size, shape, look, or function of your nose. 

Dr. Goldberg specializes in rhinoplasties, helping you achieve a flawless nose tailored to your unique needs and desired outcome. He can dramatically enhance your overall appearance and ability to breathe, transforming your nose and quality of life using unprecedented precision. 

Which concerns can a rhinoplasty correct?

A rhinoplasty at Goldberg Facial Plastic Surgery may correct the following nose concerns and more:

• Large nose
• Bump on the nose
• Bulbous nose tip 
• Deformities caused by an injury
• Poor previous nose job
• Upturned nose
• Wide bridge
• Flared or large nostrils
• Crooked septum
• Drooping tip
• Asymmetry
• Inability to breathe clearly 

Dr. Goldberg creates a nose that aesthetically fits your face shape using unsurpassed attention to symmetry, with an artist’s eye that’s highly respected among his peers. He can create subtle or dramatic changes that significantly shift your profile or facial silhouette. 

Am I a candidate for a rhinoplasty?

Dr. Goldberg reviews your medical history, examines your nose, and discusses your desired results to determine if you’re a candidate for a rhinoplasty and which type best suits you. Goldberg Facial Plastic Surgery offers an array of procedures, some of which don’t involve surgery.

What are the different types of rhinoplasties?

Examples of the types of rhinoplasties available at Goldberg Facial Plastic Surgery include:

Cosmetic surgical rhinoplasty

A cosmetic surgical rhinoplasty is a procedure in which Dr. Goldberg alters the appearance of your nose to match how you’d like it to look.

Functional rhinoplasty

During a functional rhinoplasty, Dr. Goldberg improves the structure and function of your nose to enhance your ability to breathe better. 

Liquid rhinoplasty

A liquid rhinoplasty alters the appearance of your nose using filler injections rather than a surgical procedure. 

What happens during a rhinoplasty?

You might receive local or general anesthesia before undergoing a rhinoplasty. Dr. Goldberg might use incisions to alter or remove tissues. 

During an open rhinoplasty, he makes an incision across the columella, a strip of tissue separating your nostrils. This procedure allows direct access to your nose’s bone and cartilage. 

When completing a closed rhinoplasty, Dr. Goldberg makes incisions inside your nose where external scars aren’t visible. He sculpts cartilage and bone to achieve the desired results.

During a non-surgical liquid rhinoplasty, Dr. Goldberg uses injections to add volume and optimize your nose contours.

What can I expect after the procedure?

After a surgical rhinoplasty, you can expect some swelling and bruising around your nose and eyes. This gradually disappears during the following weeks. You can typically return to work and other normal daily activities within 1-2 weeks.
