How Does Rhinoplasty Work?
Rhinoplasty is performed while the patient is under IV sedation or general anesthesia and is considered an outpatient surgery. Rhinoplasty has varying surgical techniques, depending on the unique cosmetic goals of the patient. The goal during the procedure is to reduce excess bone, cartilage, and tissue or to improve and add cartilage if necessary for reconstruction. The nasal features are repositioned, and the skin is draped over the newly enhanced framework. Stitches are implemented either inside the nose or in the natural external fold.

Will I have visible scarring after my nose surgery?
Dr. Appel and Dr. Wormer utilize advanced surgical techniques to minimize visible scarring. Depending on your procedure, incisions are either hidden inside the nose or placed discreetly within its natural external folds. Over time, any external scars typically fade and become very difficult to notice.
Is rhinoplasty a painful procedure?
Rhinoplasty is performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the surgery itself. Some discomfort, swelling, and stuffiness are normal during the initial recovery period, but this can be managed effectively with medication prescribed by our staff. Most patients at Appel Wormer Esthetics find the recovery process to be more uncomfortable than painful.
