Rhinoplasty, Nose Job Surgery
The nose is the central feature of the face yet it should not be the defining feature. An attractive nose is balanced and symmetrical within the face, not overshadowing the cheekbones, chin, eyes, mouth and other features. Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic facial surgery that can be used to reshape the nose, creating a more attractive appearance for the individual.
A nose job surgery can be used to reduce prominently misshapen or sized nasal features. Common issues that are addressed during rhinoplasty include:
- Reshape or narrow the tip of the nose (bulbous, hooked or overlong tips)
- Remove lumps or bumps on the bridge of the nose
- Reduce the overall size
- Minimize a broad nostril region
- Elevate the bridge on a flat nose
- Correct thickened skin, crooked cartilage or other issues

Understanding Nose Surgery Options
Rhinoplasty is usually only performed on adults who choose to change the shape of their nose for appearance and function. It is not recommended for children who are not through their growth period. Teens should be at least 15-17 years of age before it is considered. Nose jobs can be performed in two basic methods: open or closed. Closed rhinoplasty has a quicker recovery time and a hidden scar as the incision is made in the nostril. However, this method is not recommended for detailed reshaping of the tip or entire nose due to the limitations. It can be used for removing a nasal bridge hump or some other simpler procedures.
An open rhinoplasty is recommended for more involved nose reconstruction. Dr. Ben Stong is experienced in both open and closed methods, but the open technique is used more frequently. With this method, a small incision is made at the base of the nose. The scar is easily hidden as it is located near the bottom of the nostrils. This procedure allows Dr. Stong the visibility he needs to use his artistic surgical talents to change the shape of the tip, nostrils and other nasal components. It is this attention to the details that have allowed Dr. Stong to meet and exceed the visual expectations of his patients while caring for their safety and health.
Before deciding whether rhinoplasty is right for you, it is important to get all the information you need to make this important decision.
