Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty?
Dr. Rubinstein prefers to perform endonasal, or “closed” rhinoplasty, as there is no external scar along the columella. The closed approach is more difficult to teach and perform which is why not all surgeons utilize it. There are other reasons that the closed approach is advantageous. The skin covering is left in place, allowing for a more precise assessment of changes that are being made. Healing time is often reduced with less swelling. Dr Rubinstein will use an open approach in select cases such as revision surgery or patients with severe asymmetries.
Preservation vs. Structured Rhinoplasty?
Talented rhinoplasty surgeons utilize innovative surgical techniques to achieve natural-looking results, addressing both cosmetic and functional concerns. With extensive training in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, they specialize in both primary and revision rhinoplasty procedures. By understanding the intricate anatomy of the nose, they can tailor their approach to each patient’s unique facial structure and surgical goals, whether it involves reducing a dorsal hump, refining nasal asymmetry, or correcting wide nostrils. Through private consultations, they prioritize patient satisfaction, employing a conservative approach to ensure optimal outcomes and preserve facial appearances, ultimately providing patients with a rejuvenated and harmonious facial aesthetic.
After Rhinoplasty Surgery Recovery Period
Rhinoplasty surgery is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the nasal structure to meet individual aesthetic goals. After the surgical procedure, performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, patients can expect a recovery period of around two weeks. During this time, they should avoid strenuous activity and apply cold compresses to the nasal skin for comfort and patient safety. The length of recovery varies from patient to patient, so be sure to discuss expectations in your personal consultation before your rhinoplasty surgery. Daily activities such as light exercise and facial rejuvenation can resume after about a week or so, but it may take up to three months for full recovery.

Your Rhinoplasty Consultation
Your consultation is an essential step in your procedure. At your consultation, you will have a one-on-one session with Dr. Rubinstein, where you will share your desires and goals. For example, you should change the shape of your nose, improve your breathing, or address both functional and cosmetic issues.
Dr. Rubinstein will examine your nose, review your medical history, discuss your concerns, and answer all of your questions including how to communicate your procedure to your children or familiars.
Next, he will take some before photos, which he will use to create a detailed, computer-generated 3-D model of your facial structure. This model will be used to pre-plan the details of your procedure.
Possible Risks and Complications of Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that carries inherent risks and complications. As with any surgery, all rhinoplasty patients should be aware of the potential risks before their initial consultation. Dr. Rubinstein ensures patient safety by providing an extensive nose evaluation before a surgical plan is made and including follow-up visits after the surgery. Some possible risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, or an unsatisfactory result that may require revisional surgery, such as in cases of a crooked nose or asymmetry.

Rhinoplasty Frequently Asked Questions
If you are considering nose surgery, you probably have lots of questions. Below are some of our patients’ most commonly asked questions.
Rhinoplasty usually involves general anesthesia, while minor adjustments can use local anesthesia. Duration varies from one to three hours based on complexity, avoiding twilight anesthesia to prevent lung aspiration. Two techniques—open (small outer incision) and closed (internal nose incisions)—are chosen per patient needs. Dr. Rubinstein might recommend non-surgical filler injections, reducing procedure and recovery time yet necessitating periodic maintenance injections.
Dr. Rubinstein’s post-rhinoplasty revision rate is <10%, below the 25% national average. Despite skilled surgery, results can change due to healing, causing scarring, Polly beak, or nose shifting. Grafts in structured rhinoplasty may warp, creating asymmetries. Preservation methods reduce revisions compared to aggressive surgery, preventing nasal collapse. Follow-ups, either in person or via Zoom, catch early changes, preventing major corrections. Cortisone injections can prevent scar tissue or bone regrowth.
As long as your work does not involve heavy physical or heavy lifting, most patients return to work within the first week after their rhinoplasty. Patients are increasingly working remotely. They can return to work as early as 48 to 72 hours post-surgery.
You will be able to see some of the results of your rhinoplasty in as little as 7 to 14 days. By six weeks, 75% of the results are obtained, especially on the bridge of the nose. The full effects, especially changes to the nasal tip, may take up to one year. Revision cases requiring extensive rebuilding with cartilage can take up to two years. Dr. Rubinstein will explain the expected results during the consultation.
Insurance covers functional issues like a deviated septum or chronic sinusitis during surgery. Beware of surgeons promising to bill a large portion to insurance. Dr. Rubinstein, an out-of-network provider, discovered incorporating functional aspects into rhinoplasty cost is often more cost-effective for patients. Submitting to insurance can result in copays and high deductible expenses for surgery, anesthesia, and facility fees.
