Rhinoplasty

NYC Rhinoplasty Plastic Surgeon, David P. Rapaport, MD, FACS, is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in private practice in Manhattan, New York who is highly sought after to perform rhinoplasty on all skin types.

Rhinoplasty plastic surgery is performed by the Manhattan, New York plastic surgeon to reshape the nose.  Rhinoplasty is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures in the world. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems including a deviated septum.

Rhinoplasty surgery takes just a few hours to perform as an outpatient procedure. Because the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, David Rapaport, MD, FACS, does not use packing, most of his NYC patients are pleasantly surprised how little pain they experience from the rhinoplasty procedure. Most patients take 4-7 days off from school or work after rhinoplasty.

At the initial visit, the Manhattan, New York Rhinoplasty Plastic Surgeon will ask you to describe in detail what you would like improved. Be specific about what you would like done.

The NYC Rhinoplasty Plastic Surgeon will be limited by the internal and external structures of your nose. Plastic Surgeons cannot create any nose, but it can be helpful to bring pictures of noses that you like. After examining your nose, the New York Plastic Surgeon can give you an idea of what improvements can be made on your particular nose. Once the doctor fully understands your expectations, he'll be able to determine whether your goals are realistic.

The Manhattan Plastic Surgeon will consider your entire face when planning the operation. If you have a very weak chin, this may create the illusion that your nose is larger than it is. Some patients choose to have chin augmentation along with rhinoplasty. The plastic surgeon will discuss this with you.

Be sure to tell the NYC Rhinoplasty Plastic Surgeon if you've had any previous nose surgery or an injury to your nose, even if it was many years ago. You should also inform the surgeon if you have any allergies or breathing difficulties. You are at increased risk for complications if you have diabetes, poor circulation, heart, lung or liver disease, smoke, have a family history of blood clots, take certain medications, etc. You'll want to discuss your medical history thoroughly with the Manhattan Plastic Surgeon before you choose to undergo rhinoplasty surgery.
