Rhinoplasty is a versatile procedure that addresses a wide range of aesthetic and functional concerns related to the nose. It’s so popular that nearly 45,000 rhinoplasties were performed in the United States in 2022, making it the third most common facial plastic surgery, following eyelid and facelift surgeries. Many individuals seek rhinoplasty not only to enhance their appearance but also to improve their quality of life. This surgery can correct various issues, leading to greater facial harmony and improved breathing. Here are some common concerns that rhinoplasty can effectively address:
Patients often come to Dr. Morin to correct visible deviations in their noses, which can disrupt facial symmetry. A crooked nose may be the result of genetics or previous trauma. By realigning the nasal structure, rhinoplasty can restore balance and enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the face.
A dorsal hump, or a prominent bump on the bridge of the nose, can detract from an otherwise smooth profile. Patients seeking to reduce this bump often desire a more refined side view. Rhinoplasty can sculpt the nasal bridge, creating a more aesthetically pleasing contour and achieving a harmonious facial profile.
A drooping nasal tip can create an aged appearance, affecting how the rest of the face is perceived. By elevating the tip during rhinoplasty, patients can achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated look. This adjustment not only enhances facial aesthetics but also contributes to improved confidence.
For many, rhinoplasty is not just about cosmetic enhancement; it also serves a functional purpose. Issues such as nasal obstruction due to structural abnormalities can hinder airflow, impacting quality of life. Functional rhinoplasty addresses these problems, correcting anatomical issues like a deviated septum and promoting better breathing.

Once the patient is asleep, Dr. Morin will make incisions so that he can gently lift the skin and access the underlying tissues of bone and cartilage, which he will resculpt. Incisions can be made either inside the nose or they can be made both inside the nose and on the of skin that separates the nostrils, or the columella. The former technique is known as a closed rhinoplasty and the latter is called an open rhinoplasty. There are advantages and disadvantages to both the closed and open rhinoplasties and Dr. Morin will use the technique best suited to the individual patient. Incisions made on the columella generally usually heal well, resulting in a barely perceptible external scar after an open rhinoplasty.

Another factor to consider in describing the perfect nose is gender. Certain features can make a face appear more masculine or feminine. For instance, the shape of the face, the density of the eyebrows, and the contour of the cheekbones all influence whether we see a face as male or female.
The male nose is often characterized by angular, sharp edges and straight lines. These angles give a chiseled appearance, complementing other facial angles (a strong jaw bone, for example).
Unlike the strong, angular traits associated with the male nose, the female nose tends to be less striking. On a female face, the objective would be to downplay the visual prominence of the nose. By minimizing the definition and depth of the bridge of the nose, for instance, less emphasis is placed on the nose. Instead, attention is drawn to the lips and eyes. Balancing the details of the nostril shape and the tip also contributes to a more feminine appearance of the nose.
Though risks and complications are relatively rare, they do exist. Dr. Morin, a specialist in cosmetic surgery of the head and face, combines his extensive experience and meticulous approach to minimize risks and ensure the best possible outcomes for his patients. He wants your surgery to go as smoothly as possible, from start to finish. It is for this reason that he always stresses that his patients disclose all medical and personal information that may be relevant before committing to surgery. The most common risks and complications associated with a rhinoplasty include:
Again, these risks are rare but they must be considered when deciding whether or not to go forth with your potentially life-changing decision.
During rhinoplasty recovery, Dr. Morin prioritizes reducing swelling and bruising, advising patients to follow several best practices. Initially, sleeping with an elevated head helps manage swelling, as does avoiding heavy lifting and physical activity for at least three weeks. He suggests eating soft foods to minimize strain on facial muscles, refraining from smoking and alcohol to avoid exacerbating swelling and avoiding sun exposure for better healing. Swelling lessens within the first two months, although final results can take up to a year to fully settle. For additional comfort, pain medication may be prescribed as needed.

During rhinoplasty, the surgeon can access the underlying nasal framework in two ways – through the nostrils (a closed rhinoplasty) or by separating the nasal skin from the underlying structures (an open rhinoplasty). Neither method in itself is superior, but some doctors have a preference for an open or closed rhinoplasty approach. In most cases, when major changes are being made, an open rhinoplasty provides the doctor with better access to the nasal structures and a clearer view.
There is no risk of scarring associated with a closed rhinoplasty. In an open rhinoplasty, a tiny incision is made across the columella, the strip of skin that separates the two nostrils. In most cases, the scar left from this incision is barely visible to the naked eye, especially when a skilled surgeon performs the procedure.
Yes. It is quite common for a plastic surgeon to correct problems in the underlying nasal framework to restore proper nasal function. In some cases, a problem in the nasal structure is responsible for both a physical and functional defect.
Rhinoplasty can be performed on teenagers after their noses have reached full adult size. This usually occurs around the age of 16 in females and around 18 in males. It is also important that the patient is emotionally mature enough to handle the demands of the surgery and recovery period.
Ethnic rhinoplasty refers to a rhinoplasty performed on people of non-Caucasian descent. Surgeons who perform ethnic rhinoplasty must take the patient’s unique heritage into account to shape a nose that looks natural on their face. Not all surgeons can perform ethnic rhinoplasty, so it is important to find a surgeon who is experienced in performing rhinoplasty in patients who are similar to you.
