As the focal point of your face, your nose gets a lot of attention. If you don’t like the way your nose looks, the plastic surgeons with Lehigh Valley Institute for Surgical Excellence at LVHN can change its size or shape to better complement your facial features using a procedure known as rhinoplasty. This procedure can also help you breathe better by opening nasal passages.
Benefits of rhinoplasty or nose surgery
In a rhinoplasty procedure (often called a nose job) your plastic surgeon can:
- Alter nose size or shape for better symmetry with facial features
- Remove visible bumps or dips
- Give your nasal tip a more appealing look
- Provide symmetry to both nostrils
- Correct structural nasal defects that impair breathing
What you should know about rhinoplasty or nose surgery
You’re in qualified hands.
Nose surgery is relatively safe. Still, all surgeries have risks. At LVHN, your rhinoplasty takes place in a fully equipped operating room under the guidance of an experienced medical team.
You may want additional procedures.
To achieve desired results, your doctor may recommend having a facelift or other face procedure along with the rhinoplasty.
Your health insurer may cover rhinoplasty.
If the procedure corrects a breathing problem, birth defect or injury, your health insurance company may cover the costs. Insurance won’t cover cosmetic reshaping.
