Rhinoplasty Candidates
Rhinoplasty surgery is ideal for individuals who are looking to improve the shape and size of their nose. Candidates may have a deviated septum, visible humps on the bridge of the nose, nostrils that are wide or upturned, or enlarged or hooked nasal tip cartilage. Ideal candidates are also in good physical health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the procedure.
What to Expect During a Rhinoplasty Consultation
During your rhinoplasty consultation, I will talk to you about your previous medical treatment and surgeries, current medications, alcohol and drug use, drug allergies, and surgical goals. My team and I will also evaluate your general health status, examine and measure your face, take photographs, discuss likely outcomes and potential risks, as well as the options available for surgery.

How to Prepare for a Rhinoplasty
In preparation for your rhinoplasty, you may need to get a lab test, adjust your current medications, stop smoking, and avoid taking aspirin or other over-the-counter drugs that may increase bleeding. You should also arrange for someone to transport you to and from the surgery.
Rhinoplasty Surgery in NJ with Dr. Spiro
During your procedure, I use a closed rhinoplasty technique, also known as an endonasal rhinoplasty. With this technique, I make incisions inside the nose to hide scarring. During the procedure, I create a harmonious nose shape that blends naturally with your face by making moderate changes to either the tip cartilages, cartilaginous dorsum, bony dorsum (hump reduction), tip angle, or bony vault. If you have a deviated septum, I will alter and straighten the septum inside to improve breathing out of your nose.
Rhinoplasty Surgery Recovery
Following surgery, packing material is placed on the inside and outside of your nose to support the new structures. After your procedure, you can expect swelling and bruising around the eyes that generally subsides within the first few weeks. After six months, your nose may still experience moderate swelling, and it may take a year for your nasal shape to fully refine and heal. My team and I will give you specific instructions on how to care for your surgical site, medications to apply or take orally, specific concerns to look out for, and when to schedule a follow-up appointment to take off your splint and bandages.
