Together, you will determine the best approach, including whether to proceed with surgery and the techniques that will achieve your desired results.

Preparing for Rhinoplasty

Preparing for rhinoplasty involves several important steps to ensure a successful procedure.

To start, Dr. Wise may utilize the Canfield Vectra 3D System to create a three-dimensional image of your nose, allowing you to visualize potential results. Dr. Wise is among a select group of surgeons worldwide who utilize the Canfield Vectra 3D System, allowing for the creation of a three-dimensional image of the patient. With this system, Dr. Wise can manipulate the image in real-time, providing the patient with a visual representation of the potential results of their rhinoplasty in New Jersey.

Pre-operative guidelines include the following:

Avoid taking any blood-thinning medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen for two weeks before the surgery
Refrain from smoking for at least two weeks before the procedure
Arrange for someone to drive you home after the surgery and stay with you for the first 24 hours
Follow our guidelines for eating and drinking before the operation
Inform Dr. Wise of any medications, supplements, or herbal remedies you are currently taking

Rhinoplasty Surgical Techniques

Rhinoplasty can refine the nose's shape, from the bridge to the tip, enhancing facial harmony while preserving each patient's natural beauty. Dr. Wise is experienced in both "closed" and "open" rhinoplasty techniques, addressing aesthetic concerns as well as functional breathing issues. His approach prioritizes improving nasal function while ensuring the nose maintains strong structural support and a natural, well-proportioned appearance.

Open Rhinoplasty

Open rhinoplasty, also known as "external rhinoplasty," involves a transcolumellar incision between the nostrils, allowing Dr. Wise to precisely reshape the nasal structure. This technique is often preferred when grafts or implants are needed to achieve the desired results.

Closed Rhinoplasty

In closed rhinoplasty, small incisions are made inside the nostrils (endonasally), leaving no visible external scars. Dr. Wise often recommends this technique for patients requiring nasal refinement, such as reducing a dorsal hump or making subtle structural adjustments.

Types of Rhinoplasty

Bulbous Tip Rhinoplasty

Bulbous tip rhinoplasty focuses on refining and reshaping the rounded or wide tip of the nose to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance. This procedure involves delicate sculpting and restructuring to create a more defined and proportionate nasal tip that harmonizes with the overall facial features.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Ethnic rhinoplasty, also known as nose reshaping surgery, is a specialized procedure that enhances the nose's appearance while maintaining the individual's ethnic traits. It considers the patient's unique facial features and cultural background to create a balanced facial profile. Tailored to the specific needs and aesthetic goals of individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds, including African American, Asian, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern populations, ethnic rhinoplasty aims to achieve natural-looking results that honor the patient's heritage by combining surgical expertise with an understanding of cultural nuances.

Preservation Rhinoplasty

Preservation rhinoplasty aims to maintain natural nasal structures and functions while addressing aesthetic concerns, minimizing tissue disruption, and emphasizing the preservation of the nasal architecture. This technique utilizes advanced surgical methods and technology to achieve subtle yet impactful changes, ensuring improved aesthetic outcomes while maintaining nasal function. It is especially beneficial for individuals seeking natural-looking results with minimal alteration to their nasal appearance and function alteration.

Septoplasty

Septoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct a deviated septum, the partition between the two nasal cavities. This specialized technique aims to straighten the septum, which may be causing nasal obstruction and breathing difficulties. During the procedure, Dr. Wise carefully repositions or removes the obstructing tissue to improve airflow and alleviate symptoms such as nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, and recurrent sinus infections.

Teenage Rhinoplasty

Teenage rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery for teenagers, is increasingly sought after for both cosmetic and functional reasons. However, careful consideration is required due to the ongoing development of the nose during adolescence. Dr. Wise must assess the teenager's physical and emotional maturity and motivations for the procedure and ensure open communication with parents to manage expectations and understand potential risks and benefits.

Functional Rhinoplasty

Functional rhinoplasty aims to improve nasal functionality by addressing breathing and airflow issues caused by structural abnormalities within the nasal passages, such as a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, or nasal valve collapse. This specialized technique restores proper nasal function while preserving or enhancing the natural appearance of the nose, leading to improved breathing, reduced nasal congestion, and enhanced nasal airflow, ultimately contributing to a better quality of life and overall well-being.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

If you're not interested in an invasive surgical procedure, non-surgical rhinoplasty could be a viable alternative. This procedure involves using dermal fillers to temporarily enhance the shape and proportions of the nose.

While it has its limitations compared to traditional rhinoplasty, non-surgical rhinoplasty can be used to achieve the following:

Add volume to the nose
Enhance the nasal tip
Smooth out lumps or bumps on the nose
Straighten a slightly crooked nose
Even out the nasal proportions

The procedure requires no recovery downtime, and the effects are easily reversible for unsatisfied patients. On average, the improvements achieved with non-surgical rhinoplasty last for around six months.

Rhinoplasty Recovery Timeline

Post Rhinoplasty Instructions

These tips will help you during your recovery process after your rhinoplasty in NJ:

Take any prescribed medications as directed by Dr. Wise
Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling and bruising
Keep your head elevated while resting to minimize swelling
Refrain from blowing your nose or engaging in activities that could put pressure on the nose for three weeks
Follow a soft diet if recommended by your surgeon
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and use sunscreen if going outside
Keep the nasal splint or packing dry and clean as per Dr. Wise’s instructions
Keep your nostrils and stitches clean and prevent crusts from forming with a Q-tip saturated with hydrogen peroxide, but be sure you do not insert the Q-tip or anything else up into the nostril further than the cotton on the tip
Follow this with a thin coat of Polysporin ointment
Make-up can be used to camouflage the bruises after the splint is removed
Showering is allowed, but you must keep the splint dry
Do not travel extensively or fly for three weeks
Protect your skin from the sun with sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher for three months
Protect your nose from bumps, and do not strain or bend over for four weeks
Do not engage in vigorous activities, such as swimming, running, or competitive sports, for six weeks

After rhinoplasty, you may experience numbness in the tip of your nose, but the feeling will gradually come back within 3-6 months. It's important to be patient as you wait for the final result. Swelling may continue for up to a year after the surgery, but by 4-6 weeks, it will be much less noticeable to others.

What is Recovery Like With Nose Surgery?

Dr. Wise's refined surgical technique is designed to minimize recovery time and promote faster healing. Unlike traditional methods that use nasal packing, which can be uncomfortable, his approach prioritizes patient comfort during the recovery process. Many patients are pleasantly surprised to experience only mild discomfort, despite initial concerns about pain.

Patients should plan for approximately one week off from work to allow for proper healing. While minor swelling is common and may persist for several weeks or longer, any bruising under the eyes typically fades within days. If bruising is a concern for work or school, taking a few extra days off may be beneficial. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor healing and ensure optimal results.

What Results Can I Expect With a Rhinoplasty in New Jersey?

You will notice improvements in both the appearance and function of your nose once the swelling has completely subsided, but it may take several months to see the full results of your nose job. The appearance of your nose will continue to enhance over time, and most patients experience the final results approximately 6-12 months after the surgery.

Is Nose Surgery Covered By Insurance?

Regrettably, since rhinoplasty is considered an elective surgery, it is not covered by insurance. If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call today.

Is Anesthesia Dangerous?

Rhinoplasty is typically carried out under anesthesia, ensuring the patient is fully asleep during the procedure. Anesthesia is very safe, even for elderly or medically ill individuals. While there are potential risks associated with anesthesia, they are exceedingly rare.

Is There An Age Restriction?

Rhinoplasty is generally not advised until the nose has fully developed. In girls, this typically happens around the age of 14-15, while boys usually reach full nose growth at 15-16 years of age.

Can I wear glasses after rhinoplasty?

You should avoid wearing glasses directly on your nose for at least 4–6 weeks post-surgery to prevent pressure on the healing nasal bridge.

Does rhinoplasty leave visible scars?

Open rhinoplasty may leave a small, barely visible scar at the base of the nose, while closed techniques leave all incisions inside the nostrils.
