Many people are unhappy with the shape of their nose. Some are dissatisfied because of the way their nose naturally developed, and, for others, injuries may have altered the normal appearance of their nose. In either case, surgery of the nose (Rhinoplasty) can help reshape the nose to a more pleasing appearance.
Rhinoplasty will alter the shape of the nose by changing the size, shape, and position of the cartilages that give shape to the nose. Dr. Reath usually uses a delicate incision across the part of the nose between the nostrils (the columella).
Before & After (Rhinoplasty): This is a 42-year-old who had always felt that her nose was out of proportion to the rest of her face. Dr. Reath performed a Rhinoplasty to treat the dorsal aspect of her nose and modify her tip projection.

Most patients prefer to be asleep for the operation, which is done as an out-patient or day surgery operation. The procedure will take around 2 hours. At the end of the operation, the patient will have a splint on their nose to protect and maintain the new position of the nose.
Expect a certain amount of swelling immediately after the surgery. The splint will usually be worn for the better part of a week, and the sutures in the columella will be removed in 5 to 6 days. Most people are able to return to their normal activities in about a week, although it will be longer until they can do strenuous activities.
