Redefine your Nose with Rhinoplasty in NJ

Rhinoplasty is cosmetic surgery to change the shape of your nose. While it is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures, it is also among the most difficult. Rhinoplasty surgery can be performed to change the size of the nose, shape of the bridge or tip, span of the nostrils, or angle of the nose and upper lip. In many cases, cosmetic rhinoplasty can be combined with functional nasal surgery to repair a deviated septum or improve a patient’s ability to breathe easily through the nose.

When you’re considering rhinoplasty, it is important to do the necessary research. Finding a qualified, experienced plastic surgeon who is willing to listen to what you’re looking for and help you achieve those results will help ensure a positive rhinoplasty outcome that offers an improvement to the way you look and feel about yourself. Dr. Asaadi is a board certified plastic surgeon who has years of experience in performing rhinoplasty procedures.

There are two ways to perform rhinoplasty surgery. The traditional method, or “closed” rhinoplasty, is when a small incision is made inside the nose to restructure the bone and cartilage while the skin remains in place. “Open” rhinoplasty is when the skin is lifted off the nose in order for the bone and cartilage underneath to be reshaped. Open rhinoplasty is considered to give the surgeon more control during the procedure, but a skilled plastic surgeon will be able to deliver a good rhinoplasty result with either method. Depending on your individual case, Dr. Asaadi may recommend one method over the other to achieve the best result for your rhinoplasty surgery.

In addition to being one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures among American adults, rhinoplasty is also a frequently requested procedure by adolescents. While rhinoplasty can be safely performed on teenagers, many plastic surgeons prefer not to operate on teenagers until after they've completed their growth spurt. While it varies by individual, rhinoplasty can usually be performed around the age of 14 or 15 for girls and a year or so later for boys. When dealing with teenage rhinoplasty patients, Dr. Asaadi takes care to consider the patient’s social and emotional adjustment.  He will work with the teen to make sure they understand the procedure and the projected outcome.
