Dallas Plastic Surgeon – Q & A

Is it necessary to break the nose bones during rhinoplasty surgery?

As with everything else in rhinoplasty, all you need to do is describe the top three things you want improved in the appearance of your nose. Your ABPS Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will then help you decide if you need this done to achieve what you want out of the operation.

It makes a big difference if you do it or not for your recovery. I find this step in the operation to be one of the major determinants of how your recovery will be. Without breaking the bones, the recovery is a breeze. With breaking them, you may have a mild case of black eyes, a splint on your nose for up to a couple of weeks, a little more swelling and thus discomfort, etcetera. That being said, I find myself doing it very often — because the patients anatomy needs it to achieve the goal.

Some reasons to break the bones of the nose are if they are too wide at the base.  If they’re not too wide but there is a significant bump on the bridge of the nose that you’re going to have reduced then we need to break them to bring them together once the bump is shaved off. Another reason could be if the nose is really crooked.  There’s a bunch of reasons, fortunately you don’t need to worry about them. Your rhinoplasty doctor should be able to explain to you if you’re going to need it or not…and sometimes he won’t know until during the actual operation. I wouldn’t suggest restricting your surgeon in this regard, he may need it to get you what you desire in your look for your new nose.

Cost of a Nose Job in Dallas

It depends, everyone will be a little bit different. The most important thing is that you find yourself a board certified plastic surgeon. Among us, there will be great variation in cost. The range will go from about 5 to 10 thousand dollars… that’s pretty average across the country nowadays. This figure includes the surgeon, the anesthesiologist and the operating room as well as the follow up visits after surgery.

It’s an outpatient surgery, meaning you can go home after you wake up. You’ll need to wait until you’re sixteen (that’s typically the earliest age most board certified plastic surgeons assign to do your surgery).

Most won’t discuss the exact cost until you go to their office for an evaluation, this way we know exactly what we’re dealing with. As you may imagine, we need to examine your nose, feel the cartilage and thickness of your skin, et cetera before planning your actual operation.
