Helping Achieve a Nose that Fits
There are certain characteristics and qualities that beautiful noses have in common. Some are best suited for women while others are better for men. Together with a skilled eye and artistic touch, our plastic surgeons can guide you in deciding which characteristic is balanced to your facial proportions.
Should You Consider Rhinoplasty?
A variety of conditions can be addressed during nose surgery to produce a satisfying result:
- Large nose
- Crooked nose
- Hook nose
- Nasal hump

Dr. Boschert, Dr. Craig, Dr. Mills, and Dr. Alleyne can also change the shape and proportions of your nose with dermal fillers, as well.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty not only enhances facial aesthetics but also brings profound psychological benefits. By correcting asymmetries and refining the nasal profile, this procedure can significantly elevate facial harmony and proportion. For many, this transformation leads to boosted self-confidence and self-image. Beyond aesthetics, rhinoplasty can address physiological issues such as breathing impairments caused by congenital defects or injuries. This dual benefit of cosmetic and functional correction makes rhinoplasty a comprehensive solution for both appearance and health.

Is Rhinoplasty painful?
Rhinoplasty recovery doesn’t involve severe pain in most cases. There is some dull aching and potential headaches for a short time. Most patients take pain medication for the first day or two after surgery, and then can switch to an over-the-counter pain medication.There will be swelling, bruising, and congestion, but this is not associated with pain. A cold compress will help minimize swelling. You’ll need to keep your head elevated as much as possible, even when sleeping, for about a week. You’ll need to avoid strenuous exercise that increases blood flow to the face for several weeks.
How Long Does the Rhinoplasty Procedure Last?
Rhinoplasty with the team at Renaissance usually takes between 1.5 and 3 hours. The variation depends upon the degree of change you seek.
When Can I Expect to See the Full Results of My Rhinoplasty?
Patience is a virtue when recovering from nose surgery. Swelling can linger and can return later in the day and at night for weeks. It can take up to six full months for a patient to fully realize their new nose, although this schedule varies dramatically with individual patient’s healing rates. But your patience will be rewarded — rhinoplasty is a very satisfying procedure, as patients who have always had issues with features of their nose feel as if their whole facial appearance has improved with their new nose.
During My Procedure Is It Possible to Correct a Deviated Septum in Addition to Making Cosmetic Changes?
Our four experienced plastic surgeons often change both the appearance and the function of the nose in these surgeries. This is the perfect time to have functional changes as needed, as you’ll only have a single recovery.
Am I too young or too old for rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is generally recommended for individuals age 16 or older, once nasal growth is complete. There’s no strict upper age limit — what matters more is your overall health and realistic expectations. Many patients in their 40s to 60s seek nose reshaping as part of facial rejuvenation.
