Seattle Facial Plastic Surgeon with Specialization in Nose Surgery The procedure is the most commonly performed at the Seattle Rhinoplasty Center in Seattle, Washington. In our Seattle office, a private consultation with Dr. William Portuese or Dr. Joseph Shvidler will last approximately one hour. Surgery is performed for a variety of reasons, including reducing a large hump on the nose or other areas of the nose that are out of balance with the rest of the facial features, such as a wide nose, a wide, boxy, bulbous tip. To improve the aesthetic profile, a droopy nasal tip can also be elevated. A fractured or broken nose can be simply reset to its pre-injury state. If a cosmetic change is desired, a nose job can be performed concurrently with a broken nose repair. Cosmetic surgery is typically billed directly to the patient, while functional and reconstructive surgery is billed to the patient's healthcare insurance. A fractured nose looks crooked in both the cartilaginous and bony compartments because the nose bones are fractured, and sometimes a spreader graft of structural cartilage is required to widen a pinched upper lateral cartilage. Revision rhinoplasty surgeries are also performed on a regular basis at The Seattle Rhinoplasty Center for complications resulting from previous surgery done elsewhere.
What exactly is a nose job? A nose job is an operation that alters the shape and form of the nose's external portion. This is considered cosmetic surgery and has nothing to do with breathing. How much does a nose job cost in Seattle? A standard rhinoplasty costs $8,350 (Surgeon & Operating Room) + $729 (Anesthesia) whereas a complex or revision nose job costs $10,000 (Surgeon & Operating Room) + $891 (Anesthesia) (Anesthesia) What is a nasal septum deviation? The cartilaginous and bony partition between the left and right sides of the breathing passageways inside the nose is known as a straight septum. It becomes deviated due to congenital factors or a traumatic injury. A deviation of the nasal septum can cause nasal passage obstruction, usually on one side but occasionally on both sides of the nose. What exactly is septoplasty surgery? A septoplasty is a procedure that straightens out a deviated nasal septum in order to improve airflow through the nose. A septoplasty can be performed concurrently with nasal contouring; however, it is not done for cosmetic reasons. A septoplasty creates a more straight breathing passageway from the inside of the nose. How long will rhinoplasty last? Nasal surgery typically takes one to one and a half hours and is performed under general anesthesia. What type of anesthesia is employed during nasal surgery? Nasal surgeries are typically performed under general anesthesia and last one to one and a half hours. Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, employs board-certified physician anesthesiologists to provide anesthesia. Is packing applied to the inside of the nose following rhinoplasty and nasal surgery? On the inside of the nose, there is no packing at all. This was very common over 20 years ago, when many surgeons packed noses unnecessarily, causing severe pain and discomfort. Nasal and nose surgery is uncomfortable but only mildly painful because there is no packing on the inside of the nose. Who is the most skilled rhinoplasty surgeon? Finding a facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience in rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty surgery is a critical consideration. It is also critical to have a board-certified surgeon who understands the complexities and internal nasal anatomy, such as an ear, nose, and throat doctor (otolaryngologist). A board certified ENT doctor who is also a board certified facial plastic surgeon is likely to perform many rhinoplasty surgeries on a regular basis. Can rhinoplasty and septoplasty be performed concurrently? Yes, cosmetic rhinoplasty can often be performed concurrently with septoplasty surgery for functionality and breathing improvement, or even eyelid surgery. Cosmetic nasal surgery (rhinoplasty) is never covered by insurance and is always paid for by the patient. When medically necessary, any breathing disorders such as a deviated nasal septum and swelling of the inferior turbinates are billed to the patient's medical insurance. Can a nose job and sinus surgery be performed concurrently? Yes, many patients who have surgery in Seattle or Bellevue have their sinuses opened concurrently for chronic sinus disease. These two procedures can be performed concurrently and are quite common in our accredited surgery center. For medical necessity, chronic sinus-related disorders are submitted to insurance. The patient pays for the cosmetic portion of rhinoplast. What is the legal minimum age for a nose job in Seattle, WA? Age 15 and a half for young women and 17 for men How long should I avoid exercise after nasal surgery and/or nasal surgery? It is important not to exercise for two weeks after any type of nasal surgery, including rhinoplasty, septoplasty, or sinus-related surgery, in Seattle - Bellevue. To avoid a nose bleed, our facial plastic surgeons advise patients to limit their activities. Patients should avoid flying for at least two weeks after nasal surgery. How long will the swelling last after the operation? A: The majority of the swelling usually goes away within two to three weeks of nose surgery. Bruising usually lasts about ten days. 70-80% of the swelling in the nose disappears within the first month; however, the remaining 20-30% swelling in the tip of the nose can take up to a year to disappear. What kinds of stitches are used in the nose? A: All stitches on the inside of the nose can be removed. There are no permanent sutures on the inside of the nose, and they dissolve within a week of the rhinoplasty. Where are the rhinoplasty incisions made? A: All incisions are made on the inside of the nose, and no open rhinoplasty is performed. The lower columnella portion of the nose has no incisions.
