How is nose surgery (rhinoplasty) performed?

Your Initial consultation with Dr. Farber will establish exactly what you want your new nose to look like. It is important that you discuss with Dr. Farber exactly what features you do not like about your nose, so he can create a tailored plan to give you the results you desire! Dr. Farber will carefully examine the external appearance and internal structures of the nose. This will allow him to create a plan that maximizes safety and efficiency, as well as cosmetic and functional results.

How will my nose shape be corrected?

Reshaping the nose involves meticulous technique performed by an experienced surgeon very familiar with the face and its delicate features. Dr. Farber will ensure that your surgery will address your ideal nose size that suits your anatomy. By making a small incision on your columella, and inside your nose, Dr. Farber can access the underlying structure of the nose to correct it. On occasion, cartilage grafts may be needed to support the new shape. Rhinoplasty is an outpatient procedure, so you can expect to go home after surgery.

How much does a rhinoplasty (nose job) cost?
