Balanced Proportions
Rhinoplasty can address the size and symmetry of the nose so it is in harmony with the rest of your face. Balancing the proportions of the tip, bridge, and nostrils will allow other features like your eyes and smile to take center stage.
Photogenic Angles
Many patients feel self-conscious about their profile, or how their nose appears in various positions. Our skilled plastic surgeons can redefine the contours and projection of the nose so you look more attractive from all angles.
Improved Self-Esteem
If you are unhappy with your nose, you may struggle with confidence on a daily basis. Rhinoplasty surgery has helped millions of people feel good about the way they look and find the self-esteem they need to be happy.
What Can Rhinoplasty Do?
Dr. Boudreaux and Dr. Claiborne can customize your procedure to reshape various aspects of your nose. Depending on your goals, your nose job can...
The bridge is one of the main areas we focus on in rhinoplasty, often reducing a significant bump, or straightening out a hooked shape.
Nostrils that are too wide-set or flare out can be repositioned closer to the tip, improving the appearance of a large nose.
We can change the angle of a drooping or upturned nasal tip, as well as the overall shape and size of the tip of your nose.
We can add cartilage to the nose to fill in a depression, or achieve a better balance between the tip and the bridge.
Rhinoplasty can improve your breathing by modifying the cartilage in your nasal septum to open up your airways.
Types of Rhinoplasty
We might recommend one of two types of rhinoplasty to our patients in the greater New Orleans and Metairie areas:
Closed Rhinoplasty
In closed rhinoplasty, the incisions are made inside the nostrils. This often allows sufficient access to the areas in need of surgical correction. This method is generally considered to be less invasive and involves a shorter recovery time. Many patients favor the closed technique because it poses less risk of visible scarring after the treatment is complete.
Open Rhinoplasty
An open rhinoplasty involves the same two incisions inside the nostrils, with an additional incision across the columella (the strip of tissue connecting the nostrils). The primary advantage of this technique is greater visibility of the surgical area. We can also more accurately graft cartilage and address the tip of the nose with the wider access point.
“Dr . Boudreaux was very professional and personable . It was a stressful time for me, but he made me feel secure with my decision . I will go to him for any future procedures . I thought I couldn’t afford the cost but I just found out I can use a financial plan with low payments and no interest. This is a game changer for me! So glad I received this information today.” -Sandra M.
The Rhinoplasty Procedure
Here is what you can generally expect when you arrive at our New Orleans surgical center on the day of your rhinoplasty...
Rhinoplasty is often covered by CareCredit financing.
Recovery and Results
Days 1-3
Immediately after your rhinoplasty, you can expect some discomfort which can be treated with pain medication as recommended. It is normal to experience some swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes, which will usually begin to fade after a few days.
Days 3-7
During the first week of recovery, you will wear a splint over the nose to help it retain its new shape. While patients typically start to feel more like themselves during this time, it is important to keep activity to a minimum.
Week 1-2
Around one week later, you will visit your doctor for a follow-up appointment to check your progress and have the splint removed. Most patients can return to their work or school schedule at this time, as long as it doesn't involve strenuous physical activity.
Months 1-6
We generally clear patients for all normal activities and exercise around six to eight weeks after rhinoplasty. While the majority of physical side effects will subside in the first 30 days, some residual swelling can last for up to six months.
One Year
You will gradually notice the contours of your nose becoming more refined as you continue to heal. The final results may take a year to become fully apparent, however, you will get to enjoy the effects of rhinoplasty for a lifetime.
“I researched many plastic surgeons in the NOLA area before deciding on Dr Boudreaux. Dr B is a gifted surgeon & I highly recommend him. In addition, the nurses, PAs, CRNA, office staff, and surgical consultant were all so efficient, kind and thorough. I really had a positive experience with Northshore Plastic Surgery.” -Jessica L Gallo
