Of all plastic surgery procedures, nose enhancement, or rhinoplasty, is among the most common. Nose enhancement can be performed on any part of the nose to increase or reduce its size; to modify the size and shape of the nostrils, tip or bridge of the nose; or to alter the slope or angle of the nose. Rhinoplasty may also be performed to correct an injury or birth defect, or to improve breathing. Dr. Harris is trained in ear, nose and throat, and facial cosmetic surgery, which provides you with the highest level of training and expertise.
Dr. Harris performs rhinoplasty under local or general anesthesia depending on the complexity of the operation and the patient's wishes. In most cases, he uses an open rhinoplasty approach to lift the skin of the nose. This method allows for excellent exposure and access to the underlying nasal cartilage and bones. Following surgery some discomfort can be expected, but can be alleviated with cold compresses and medication prescribed by Dr. Harris. You can usually return to work or non-strenuous activities within a week or two. Strenuous activities may be resumed within a few weeks.
