What are the different types of nasal surgery?
The following are some of the different types of nasal surgery:
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems.
Rhinoplasty is the surgical repair of a defect of the nose, including reshaping or resizing the nose. Rhinoplasty may be performed to accomplish the following:
- change the size of the nose
- change the shape of the nose
- narrow the nostrils
- change the angle between the nose and lips
- Shortness of breath
- Snoring
- Headaches
Nasal surgery
Nasal surgery includes any surgery performed on the outside or inside of the nose. A common type of reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, nasal surgery may be performed to accomplish the following:
- improve breathing
- correct congenital or acquired deformities
- change size or shape of nose (cosmetic)
- repair nasal injuries
Septoplasty
Septoplasty is the surgical correction of defects and deformities of the nasal septum (the partition between the nostrils). Examples of septoplasty include the following:
- correction of a deviated septum
A deviated septum is a condition in which the partition (septum) between the nostrils is not in a straight vertical alignment. A deviated septum can cause obstructed airflow. A deviated septum can be caused by a birth defect or injury.
- correction of cleft defects that affect the nose and nasal cavity
Procedure Description
An open or a closed technique is performed to make the nose smaller, reduce a hump on the nose, change the shape of the tip and sides of the nose, as well as other changes.
An incision will be made to gain access to the framework of the nose. This incision is usually placed within the nostrils. Cartilage is then sculpted away to reduce the size or shape. If the opposite result is desired, tissue may be added to increase the size of the nose. The septum may be trimmed to correct droopiness or may be realigned to correct breathing problems.
Most nasal surgery patients have a definite idea as to how they would like to improve or refine the shape of their nose. Usually they don’t like the “nasal hump” on the bridge, the thickness of the nasal tip, or the width of their nose. The nasal septum, (the structure that separates the two nostrils inside the nose), is composed of cartilage and bone. It may become deviated or twisted, either through the trauma of birth, or as the result of an accidental injury. This deviation may alter the pattern of air flow through the nose, making it more difficult to breathe. In addition, the nose may appear crooked with a “hump”.
How does our doctors figuring out what is wrong and then how to fix it?
Our doctors ENT and board certified experienced surgeons understand the underlying causes of the various problems occurring in revision surgery. Understanding the anatomic cause of each complication provides a guide to the correct approach to repair. Often there is more than one concern and these can relate to each other in a complex fashion.
Sometimes if a problem is focused and limited, a targeted, limited approach can fix the problem. Other times, a more comprehensive reconstruction is needed.
The two approaches are the endonasal or “closed” Rhinoplasty (all incisions hidden inside the nose) and the external or “open” Rhinoplasty (all incisions EXCEPT one small incision are inside the nose. In open rhinoplasty there is one small incision across the columella (the skin between the nostrils).
In Silverlake Virgil Surgical Center our Board Certified ENT performs both endonasal (closed) and external (open) Rhinoplasty. In his experience, the closed approach is more suitable for some noses, while the open technique is more suitable for others.
Since every nose is different and has unique surgical requirements doctor r discusses the options with each patient and is happy to describe his surgical plan in detail. Fortunately, there are no major disadvantages to either approach. However, each approach has special advantages for specific situations. Since every nose is different and has unique surgical requirements our doctors will discuss the options with each patient

Will insurance cover my surgery?
If your requests are of a functional nature (for example, you cannot breathe through your nose), many insurance companies will cover the part of the surgery that is required to correct these problems.
However, any requests that relate simply to change of appearance are generally not covered by insurance companies, and do require a cosmetic surgery fee.

RHINOPLASTY FAQ
Following are some common questions asked by patients considering RHINOPLASTY PROCDERE
I think my first surgeon took too much from my nose. Can you fix this?
This is a common reason for revision rhinoplasty. No matter where in your nose too much has been removed, Doctor’s experience is that improvement is often possible.
I want my nose to look natural again. Can you do this?
This is the most common request our patients have, and is perhaps the most important objective in revision rhinoplasty. Doctor is experienced at repairing the “over-operated” nose. While each case is different, in Doctor’s experience it is usually possible to make significant improvement.
My nose is too small. Can you make it bigger?
Yes, if a patient’s nose has been over-operated and now looks too small, Doctor can generally improve it. He also can generally fix noses that are too short, too long, too narrow, too wide, twisted, and so forth.
Is there a lot of pain or nausea?
Not typically. Time after time, Doctor’s patients are surprised at how little pain and how little nausea there is. After-surgery pain is usually well-controlled with a mild narcotic. We are especially proud of our anesthesia team, who provide expert anesthesia that keeps after-surgery nausea to a minimum.
What is the recovery period?
- Patients may experience some degree of bruising and swelling to progressively resolve over two to four weeks
- A splint will be placed on the outside of the nose and possibly on the inside as well. Both types of splints are used to protect the, now delicate, nasal structures.
- Bed rest the day of surgery is recommended.
- Limit activity for the next two days following surgery.
- Avoid strenuous activities for about four to six weeks.
- Return to work in about one to two weeks.
I live far away, how do I arrange to see you and to have surgery?
You can contact Doctor’s office and arrange an appointment. Many patients come for an initial visit and schedule surgery at the end of this initial visit. They then return for their surgery. Occasionally a patient may wish to come into town for consultation followed by surgery the next day. This is possible but obviously must be arranged in advance.
The tip of my nose looks pointy, twisted and abnormal. Can you fix my nasal tip?
Yes, it has been Doctor’s experience that significant improvements are possible in this relatively common problem.
I'm not sure what I need to have done, I just know I don't like it!
We understand! Some patients know how they want their nose to look, but other revision rhinoplasty patients are frustrated, angry, and even a little scared. They know they don’t like their nose, but they are upset and confused and just want someone to help them! We understand this and will take the time to work with you to help you have a happy outcome.
I am scared!
We understand! You have had a bad experience, so it is okay to feel that way. It is important for you to be confident in the surgeon you choose to perform your revision rhinoplasty. Doctor is proud of his surgical results, but he also wants his patients to feel at ease. Doctor’s staff plays an important role in helping his revision rhinoplasty patients feel more at ease before and after surgery.
How do I know if I am a candidate for revision rhinoplasty?
If you have had a rhinoplasty and do not like the way your nose looks, and if you are in good health, then you are eligible for a revision rhinoplasty consultation. The next step is to meet with a skilled surgeon to see if surgery can meet your expectations. In Doctor’s practice, Doctor talks to you in detail and examines you. Then, he explains his realistic expectations for your surgery and will let you know if he thinks you are a good candidate.
Is this outpatient surgery?
YES
Ever since my rhinoplasty, I can't breathe well through my nose. Can you fix this?
Yes. Unfortunately, this is a common complaint. Fortunately we are usually able to substantially improve nasal breathing. A number of the patients in the Photo Album had this problem. Many times, patients request improvement in breathing and appearance
