Discover Your Perfect Profile: Expert Rhinoplasty by JOSHUA E. GOLDBERG D.O. FACOS

Your nose is key to a balanced, aesthetically pleasing face. If your nose is crooked, too large, or overly wide or bulbous, it can detract from your other facial features and make you self-conscious about your appearance.

If you weren’t born with your ideal nose, surgical or liquid rhinoplasty can create the best looking, most functional nose for your face.

Discover how Joshua E. Goldberg, DO, FACOS, at Goldberg Facial Plastic Surgery in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, can create your perfect profile using rhinoplasty.

How rhinoplasty reshapes your nose

You aren’t alone if you don’t like how your nose looks. Many people wish their nose was smaller, didn’t have a hump, or was more in proportion to the rest of their face.

Fortunately, rhinoplasty is a safe, reliable, and permanent solution. At your consultation, you receive a plan for a unique nose that accounts for your facial structure, other facial features, ethnic background, and desired changes.

The result is a natural nose that’s the perfect profile on your face. As part of the procedure, rhinoplasty can make changes such as:

• Getting rid of humps
• Narrowing your nose
• Straightening your nose
• Reducing the size of your nose
• Reshaping nostrils
• Reshaping the tip or bridge
• Revising previous rhinoplasties

If you’re getting a surgical rhinoplasty, you may also benefit from functional improvements to make breathing easier. 

Types of rhinoplasties

The two main types of rhinoplasties that improve your facial profile are traditional surgical rhinoplasty and liquid rhinoplasty:

Surgical rhinoplasty

Surgical rhinoplasty is the most well-known type of rhinoplasty. During this procedure, you’re under general anesthesia while Joshua E. Goldberg, DO, FACOS, makes changes to the appearance and function of your nose.

Your surgery is either an open or closed rhinoplasty. An open rhinoplasty involves making an incision at the bottom of your nose between the nostrils. This type of rhinoplasty is best for making significant changes to your nose.

Closed rhinoplasty involves incisions made in an area that isn’t visible. Closed rhinoplasties are usually shorter procedures and effective for more subtle nasal changes.

You can go home the same day to rest and recover. However, it takes time to see the full shape of your beautiful new nose. You wear a cast on your nose for 10 days to 2 weeks, and swelling may take several months to go down.

If you’d like to make significant changes to your nose’s appearance or improve its functioning at the same time, surgery remains the best choice.

Liquid rhinoplasty

Liquid rhinoplasty is a newer, nonsurgical option that temporarily reshapes your nose. The procedure involves injectables to change your nose’s appearance. 

Liquid rhinoplasties take up to an hour and are performed under local anesthesia. You see results immediately and recover quickly. Liquid rhinoplasties last up to 18 months before you need to repeat the procedure.

If you'd like to change your nose without committing, want more subtle results, need only a temporary solution, or can’t or don’t want traditional surgery, liquid rhinoplasty can be a great option.
