Finesse Rhinoplasty is performed to improve nasal function and to enhance appearance. Improving the internal nasal structure will enable a person to breathe easier. As a person ages, his/her nose becomes longer as the tip drops down (making breathing more difficult). An unattractive nose may actually become dysfunctional as aging progresses.

A few words about Finesse Rhinoplasty...
Finesse Rhinoplasty is performed under local anesthesia or twilight sedation. Through internal incisions, the supporting structures of the nose are sculpted to achieve an enhanced cosmetic appearance. Critical to proper nasal surgery, a nose must function as well as it appears cosmetically.

There is usually an external dressing on the nose for 5-7 days following surgery to stabilize the nose and control swelling. If there is a dressing inside the nose, it is small and removed the day following surgery. Traditional nasal packing is rarely used.

You may experience some discomfort, which can be easily controlled with a mild analgesic. Swelling and discoloration of the eyes are infrequently experienced. You can expect limited nasal drainage and some slight swelling of the nose which will gradually decrease over time. It is important to note that the full benefits of this surgery will not be seen until about a year after the procedure, since the last one to two percent of swelling of the nose disappear very slowly.
