Rhinoplasty, or nose job, is the surgical procedure for reshaping of the nose. Some have this change because they are unhappy with the appearance of their nose, while others do so to improve their breathing. Patients who desire an aesthetic change in their nose, do so to change either a birth defect or an injury to their nose. Rhinoplasty is available here in New York City at Dr. Kenneth Rothaus’ practice.
Patients who desire to undergo rhinoplasty must wait until they are approximately at least 15 to 16 years of age, allowing their growth spurt to complete. Of course, any patient under the age of 18 must have parental consent as well. Many older patients, however, also desire a rhinoplasty procedure; altering the shape of a nose they’ve been dissatisfied with their whole lives. Others see a change in their nose, especially at the tip, with aging and wish to undergo rhinoplasty in order to restore a more youthful profile.
For those individuals who desire to have their rhinoplasty procedure performed here in New York, contact us at Dr. Rothaus’ practice to schedule a consultation appointment. This visit allows the doctor a chance to examine your nose and determine your options. It also allows you to ask any questions you might have about the procedure.
