Common Questions About This Treatment
Am I a good candidate for rhinoplasty?
You may be a good candidate for rhinoplasty if you’re at least 16 (girls) or 17 (boys) years old, in good general health, have realistic expectations, and want to improve the appearance or function of your nose. Common reasons include reshaping a dorsal hump, refining the tip, correcting asymmetry, or improving breathing. Dr. Moore and Dr. Sarosiek at Cool Springs Plastic Surgery in Brentwood, TN evaluate facial anatomy, nasal structure, and aesthetic goals during consultation.
What's the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty?
Closed rhinoplasty makes all incisions inside the nostrils, leaving no visible external scars — best suited for minor refinements. Open rhinoplasty includes a small incision across the columella (between the nostrils), allowing the surgeon greater visibility and access for more complex changes. The columellar scar typically heals nearly invisibly. Your CSPS surgeon will recommend the approach based on your specific anatomy and the changes needed.
How long is rhinoplasty recovery?
Most rhinoplasty patients return to non-physical work in 1-2 weeks once the splint is removed and visible bruising fades. Light exercise resumes around 3-4 weeks, and full activity around 6 weeks. Initial swelling resolves in the first month, but subtle refinement of the nasal tip continues for up to 12-18 months as final results emerge. CSPS provides detailed recovery instructions and follow-up appointments at our Brentwood TN center.
Will rhinoplasty change how I breathe?
Rhinoplasty can either improve or, in rare cases, complicate breathing — depending on technique and surgical goals. Functional rhinoplasty is specifically designed to improve breathing by addressing issues like a deviated septum, internal valve collapse, or enlarged turbinates. Cosmetic rhinoplasty performed by a skilled surgeon should preserve or enhance breathing function. At CSPS, Dr. Moore and Dr. Sarosiek evaluate both aesthetic and functional concerns to ensure breathing isn’t compromised.
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.
