Patient Results

* All patients are unique and individual results may vary.

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.

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.

Dr. Rubinstein performed a rhinoplasty procedure for me a year before my wedding. The surgery went better than I expected and my results are wonderful. Dr. Rubenstein smoothed down the bump in my nose as well as adjusted the tip of my nose. My nose looks great and my appearance has been improved without any drastic changes to my natural look. Dr. Rubenstein was thorough, helpful, and a pleasure to have a surgery. On my wedding day I looked like myself with a perfect nose.

Your Rhinoplasty Consultation

The Rhinoplasty Procedure – Nose Surgery

Rhinoplasty is defined as surgical alteration or correction of the nose. Rhinoplasty can address many areas of the nose, including the tip of the nose, the nostrils, the nasal passages, the bridge (nasal bones area), the slope, and much more.

The scope of each person’s rhinoplasty procedure will differ significantly, depending on each patient’s facial structure, needs, and goals. When you talk with Dr. Rubinstein in detail about your needs and goals, he will design a procedure that is ideally suited for you.

Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty?

Dr. Rubinstein prefers to perform endonasal also known as “closed” rhinoplasty as there is no external scar along the columella. The closed approach is more difficult to teach and perform which is why it’s not utilized by all surgeons. There are other reasons that the closed approach is advantageous. The skin covering is left in place allowing for 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?

There are many advances that have been made in rhinoplasty surgery. There is a new emphasis on “preservation” over “resection” or cutting out of excess cartilage and bone. Nasal refinements are performed through cartilage and bone reshaping. Preserving cartilage and bone results in a more natural result with less risk of delayed collapse years later requiring revision.

Structured rhinoplasty is a technique where cartilage grafts are added to the nose. Cartilage can be obtained from the septum, ear, or rib. Indications include increasing tip projection and definition in thicker skinned patients (ethnic rhinoplasty), treating asymmetries, functional and revision surgeries. Structured rhinoplasty is often combined with preservation techniques in ethnic rhinoplasty.

POWERED INSTRUMENTATION IN RHINOPLASTY

The use of powered instruments in rhinoplasty instead of older chisel and hammer techniques to reshape the nasal bone can be more precise, less traumatic, and result in less downtime. This approach is ideal in patients with asymmetries or who only need mild to moderate changes.
