Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) NJ

A portion of the surgical expenses might be reimbursed by health insurance if the procedure is performed for certain functional purposes.

The Surgery
The average duration of the Rhinoplasty process is about 1.5 hours, depending on the extent of correction that needs to be made.

The skin of the nose is separated from the cartilage and bone that form its structure before it is moulded to the appropriate shape throughout the procedure. Your anatomy determines how this is done. Ultimately, the skin is replaced with a fresh, reshaped structure. Dr. Boss will employ a closed or open method based on your individual requirements. In the open approach, the incisions are made closer to the base of the nostrils, whereas in the closed kind, they are made inside the rim of the nostrils. In either case, the cartilage and bone beneath the soft tissue of the nose must be separated before the latter are shaped to the appropriate shape. Moreover, breathing obstructions and other similar interior issues can be resolved simultaneously by merely altering the shape or eliminating the obstructing material completely. At the conclusion of the procedure, a splint will be placed to guarantee that the new shape of your nose is preserved.
