5 Reasons Why Patients Choose Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty has long been one of the most popular cosmetic procedures due to its ability to significantly enhance one’s overall appearance. To avoid the cost and recovery time that comes with surgery, sometimes patients choose non-surgical rhinoplasty (also known as liquid nose jobs) over traditional nose jobs for a number of reasons, which Dr. Pancholi explores in…

What’s The Price of Rhinoplasty in Las Vegas?

There are three main factors that influence the price of rhinoplasty (in Las Vegas, or elsewhere):  The patient, the doctor, and the location. The Patient: The big question is “Have you ever had rhinoplasty before?” Rhinoplasty is a meticulous and exacting surgery that challenges many surgeons.  Performing revision surgery raises the bar even higher.  If you’ve had rhinoplasty…

Is it okay to take glucosamine after rhinoplasty?

Yes, you can. Taking glucosamine after a rhinoplasty will not alter the changes made to your nose. From what we know about glucosamine through the FDA, it may have a mild effect on joint (hyaline) cartilage. This same type of cartilage also happens to be present in the septum of your nose. Studies performed and presented to…

What to Expect During Rhinoplasty Recovery

After rhinoplasty, or ‘nose reshaping,’ most people say the recovery was easier than they expected.  People usually return to work somewhere between 1-2 weeks after the procedure. The downtime largely depends on job requirements and considerations regarding the splint that must be worn for about a week. On the day of surgery, patients should expect a…

Study Uncovers Added Benefit of Rhinoplasty

Nose surgery doesn’t just improve the shape of your nose, it also makes you look younger, says a new study. The study found that the anti-aging benefits of rhinoplasty were statistically significant, and, on average, patients looked 1.5 years younger after the procedure, according to Ali Sepehr, MD, and researchers at the University of Toronto. During the study, 50 people…

What to do about breathing problems after rhinoplasty

Problems with breathing after rhinoplasty are usually due to the nasal valve being pinched to a smaller angle.Your nasal valve (you have two – one on each side of your nose) can be described simply as the angle where the septum (the wall of your nose) meets the nostrils – the area we are speaking of is…

Breathing problems aren’t common after rhinoplasty

If you experience problems breathing through your nose before rhinoplasty surgery, the problem will hopefully be reduced or alleviated after surgery. Problems breathing through the nose are often from a less than ideal interior anatomy. This can be a result of past trauma, nasal medications, allergies, sinus problems, or it can just occur developmentally. When these…

Researchers Seek Ideal Nasal Implant Material

A recent study in Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery examined the use of rib cartilage during rhinoplasty, in what the authors described as an ongoing effort to find the ideal nasal implant. The authors, surgeons from the University of Texas, described this ideal substance as follows: Readily available in large quantities Resists infection Resists absorption Completely integrated into…

Nasal Breathing Function is Important Aspect of Nose Surgery

Both facial plastic surgeons and Otolaryngologists often work to address airway obstruction in the nose, a complaint typically caused by nasal deviation. With a technique similar to rhinoplasty, a surgeon can correct the deviation – straightening the airway and nose – to resolve breathing problems. Why is this important? According to a new study, nasal deviation was linked to…

Doctors Find Primary Reasons for Revision Rhinoplasty

A recently published study in Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery discusses the primary reasons people seek revision surgery after rhinoplasty (nose reshaping).  According to the study, the common reasons for revision include nasal breathing obstruction and nasal tip asymmetry. The study presents both a subjective (patient) and objective (physician) view of both the functional and aesthetic concerns presented by…
