Dr. Rossi’s Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common procedures in plastic surgery and is extremely gratifying for the patient. Individuals born with a certain ethnic or family predisposition they are unhappy with can now enjoy the nose shape of their own choice.
The nose, centered in the middle of the face, commands much attention. Millimeters matter and even the most minimal deformities can be noticed. When it is large or dominant, it overshadows the beauty and subtleties of other facial features such as the eyes or the mouth. Rhinoplasty can have significant enhancing effects on a person’s appearance and self-confidence.
Deviations in nasal anatomy, either congenital or acquired from trauma or disease, can lead to difficulties in breathing.
Surgeons are not all equally trained, nor are they equally proficient at all surgeries, and surgeries are not all equally challenging. Our providers are an expert in the rhinoplasty procedure and is commonly called on for Revision Rhinoplasty as well.
What Are the Benefits of Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty enables patients to modify the shape, size and overall appearance of the nose. Thus, this surgery can help balance an individual’s facial features.
In addition, rhinoplasty offers a number of key benefits for men and women, including:
- Improved breathing – Do you sometimes struggle to breathe out of your nose? If so, you may be a prime candidate for rhinoplasty, as this surgery could help you breathe better day after day.
- Enhanced appearance and self-confidence – Rhinoplasty enables you to enhance your facial appearance, and ultimately, may help you feel better about your overall appearance as well.
- Better sleep – For those who often struggle with sleep apnea, rhinoplasty may help you revamp your nasal passageways to minimize breathing problems that otherwise can cause sleep issues.

Is Rhinoplasty for Me?
Deciding whether to get a nose job represents a major decision. As such, there are many indicators for rhinoplasty that should be considered during the decision-making process, including:
Dorsal Hump: a bump on the bridge of the nose, usually made of cartilage and bone. It can either be congenital (hereditary) or acquired (trauma).
Long Nose: The nose projects too far from the face. The length of the nose needs to be reduced, often requiring a reduction of both the septum and tip structures.
Boxy, Bulbous, or Wide Tip: Deformities of the cartilaginous paired tip structure (lower lateral cartilages.) The suture technique will correct these deformities nicely.
Droopy Tip: Tip of nose hangs down, especially when smiling. Often associated with a long nose. The tip needs shortening and elevation, sometimes requiring a graft (columellar strut).
Wide Dorsum: Wide nasal bridge. The bones need narrowing.
Wide Nostril/ Nostril Base: Overly wide nostrils, requires resection of soft tissue on the lateral aspect of nostrils.
Deviated Tip: Rotation of the nasal tip, often associated with a deviated septum. Tip structures need to released from scar tissue, straightened, and often reinforced with suture or cartilage grafts.
Asymmetry of Nose: Usually traumatic in origin. Structures need to be released from scar tissue, straightened, and reinforced when necessary.
Difficulty Breathing: Often from Inferior Turbinate Hypertrophy (allergies) or Deviated Septum (traumatic).
