Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
People who are unhappy with their nose appearance or who have a hard time breathing through their noses are considering nose surgery in Glens Falls or Saratoga Springs. This procedure, also known as rhinoplasty or a "nose job," has been one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States for many years, and continues to be popular in the Glens Falls area.
Nose surgery reshapes or reduces the size of a patient's nose by sculpting the cartilage and bone within. Most often, the procedure is cosmetic, though it also can be used to correct breathing problems or birth defects and in these cases may be covered by insurance. Using modern rhinoplasty techniques, Dr. Garcia can fine tune your nose appearance or offer a total transformation.
With nose surgery, men and women can see who they want to see when they look in the mirror. Dr. Garcia offers plastic surgery at Glens Falls Hospital, Saratoga Hospital, or Saratoga Surgery Center. He also performs minor procedures at his office on Park Street in Glens Falls. Request a consultation today.
What's It All About?
Residents of Upstate New York have a number of reasons to consider nose surgery. Rhinoplasty can:
- Reshape a nose that is too large or too wide
- Refine a crooked nose tip
- Repair the nose after suffering trauma
- Rebuild the nasal passageways to make breathing easier
Your Nose Surgery Procedure
Dr. Garcia uses two surgical methods to perform rhinoplasty. The "open" method allows him to access the nose from between the nostrils, while the "closed" method involves making internal incisions to perform the resculpting. Dr. Garcia then reshapes cartilage and bone to achieve your desired look. Both methods are very effective and result in scars that are virtually invisible. After the procedure you may experience bruising and swelling, which should gradually decrease over the next two weeks.
At your consultation, Dr. Garcia can answer your questions about nose surgery or any of the other cosmetic surgery and medical spa procedures he performs in Glens Falls and Saratoga Springs, including breast enlargement, hand surgery, or liposuction.
