Common Questions About This Treatment
When will I see my final rhinoplasty results?
You’ll see immediate changes once the splint is removed at 1 week, but final results take time to emerge. Most swelling resolves within 3 months, but subtle tip refinement continues for 12-18 months as deeper swelling resolves. Patience is essential with rhinoplasty — the nose is one of the slowest-healing facial features. CSPS provides regular follow-up appointments throughout the first year to monitor your healing progress.
Will I have visible scars after rhinoplasty?
Closed rhinoplasty leaves no visible external scars — all incisions are inside the nostrils. Open rhinoplasty includes a small incision across the columella that typically heals nearly invisibly within several months. Most patients are unable to see the columellar scar at conversational distance once fully healed. CSPS surgeons use precise closure techniques and provide scar care guidance to optimize healing.
Can rhinoplasty fix a deviated septum?
Yes, septoplasty (correction of a deviated septum) is often performed at the same time as cosmetic rhinoplasty — combined, this is called septorhinoplasty. Correcting the septum can improve breathing and address nasal asymmetry. Some septoplasty procedures may be covered by insurance if performed for medical reasons, though cosmetic rhinoplasty is typically not covered. Dr. Moore and Dr. Sarosiek discuss both cosmetic and functional concerns during your CSPS consultation.
What age can I get rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is typically performed once facial growth is complete — generally around age 14 to 15 for girls and 16 to 17 for boys. There’s no upper age limit; healthy adults of any age can be good candidates. CSPS evaluates each patient’s facial development, overall health, and motivations during consultation. Younger patients also benefit from psychological readiness — being mentally prepared for the recovery process and realistic about expected results.
Rhinoplasty
Overview
Rhinoplasty, or surgery to change the shape of the nose, can alter the nose in a variety of ways to achieve a patient’s aesthetic and functional goal. Because noses vary from face to face, depending on your facial proportions, ethnic background, skin type and other variables, it is important that you have a thorough and realistic expectation of your goals.
Rhinoplasty Consultation
At the time of your consultation, you will meet with your chosen board-certified surgeon who will talk with you about your goals and the best way to achieve your desired outcomes. Our goal is to make sure every one of your questions is answered and you feel comfortable with your knowledge of the procedure. In your initial consultation, your surgeon ill evaluate your health, discuss your medical history and carefully examine and assess your nose features. You will see “before and after” photographs of prior patients with similar noses. The doctor will then review your goals and make recommendations based on his evaluation. The techniques used in rhinoplasty will be described in detail, and informational materials will be provided. Photos will be taken of your nose to document your results.
Be sure to inquire if there are additional facial procedures that would enhance the effect of your nose surgery. This procedure is often performed in combination with chin or cheek implants, balancing the proportions of a patient’s facial features.
We have three Patient Care Coordinators who work closely with you through your entire time in our practice, serving as your resource for any questions or concerns you have along the way. After your time talking to the surgeon, your Patient Coordinator will provide you with a detailed, written estimate of surgical fees for your procedure when you have your initial consultation at Cool Springs Plastic Surgery in Nashville, Tennessee. She will assist you in selecting a date for your surgery, convenient for your schedule. Your Patient Care Coordinator will also inform you about all payment options available in our office. Information regarding “Payment Options” are detailed under the “About” tab at the top of our web page.
