Rhinoplasty Surgery (Nose Reshaping)
The Manhattan Plastic Surgeon can correct a multitude of faults
with your nose. When performing rhinoplasty, the NYC Plastic Surgeon can shorten, narrow, build up or straighten a nose. Rhinoplasty can make the most prominent feature on your face a permanent source of pride. Rhinoplasty can give you a whole new
appearance and a new outlook on life.
Rhinoplasty is one of the oldest operations in plastic surgery. The
Manhattan, New York Plastic Surgeon has performing rhinoplasty (on both
men and women) for over a decade and patients from around the world seek
his expertise with this procedure.
The nose is a source of pride for many and a source of great embarrassment for others.
Rhinoplasty can correct many of the faults you may see in your nose. Often this procedure can be combined with functional improvement of the nasal airway through correction of abnormal internal nasal structures.
Rhinoplasty is individualized by the
Manhattan Plastic Surgeon to meet the patient's needs and expectations.
Rhinoplasty usually includes an improvement of the nasal tip, straightening of the dorsum and adjustment of the bony nasal skeleton. These procedures may be
performed as an open procedure with a small externally visible incision through the columella (base of nose) or may be performed as a closed procedure where all of the incisions are hidden. Different advantages exist in either approach
and the NYC Plastic Surgeon will discuss both options in length with you.
Insurance Information: Reimbursement from your insurance carrier for your rhinoplasty (nose job) may vary depending on the carrier, and the type of operation performed
by the Manhattan Plastic Surgeon. Generally, most insurance companies will
provide some type of reimbursement if there is a degree of difficulty
breathing, documented with an anatomical problem that warrants correction
at surgery. The rhinoplsty procedures that are usually covered are:
- Septal Surgery
