Are You a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

Schedule your consultation today if you relate to any of the following:

  • You’re unhappy with the shape, size, or profile of your nose.
  • Your nose feels out of balance with the rest of your facial features.
  • You’ve experienced a nasal injury or trauma in the past.
  • You struggle with chronic nasal congestion or breathing issues.
  • You want to correct a bump, drooping tip, or asymmetry.
  • You’ve had a previous nose surgery and are unhappy with the results.
  • You’re in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome.

*Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty are in good health, seeking to improve nasal appearance, breathing, or both. During your private consultation, Dr. Swail will evaluate your goals and recommend a personalized approach based on your facial structure.

“Plastic surgery is the most interesting and challenging career I can think of. While there are some surgeries we perform often enough to be considered ‘routine,’ every patient is different and will present their own unique challenges. Getting the best results for your patients requires knowledge and creativity, in addition to technical mastery of surgical technique. My residency training provided me with the necessary fundamentals and my years in practice have given me the experience and judgment to offer my patients results that are second to none.”

What People Say About Dr. Swail

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure that reshapes or resizes the nose. It can be performed for cosmetic reasons, functional improvement (like breathing), or both.

2. How do I know if I need cosmetic or functional rhinoplasty?

If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your nose or have difficulty breathing through it, you may benefit from rhinoplasty. During your consultation, Dr. Swail will evaluate your nose’s internal and external structure to determine the right approach for your needs.

3. Will my rhinoplasty results look natural?

Yes. Dr. Swail takes a conservative, artistic approach to ensure your results look balanced and natural — never overdone. The goal is to enhance your facial harmony, not change your identity.

4. What’s the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty?

Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision between the nostrils, allowing more visibility and precision. Closed rhinoplasty keeps incisions inside the nose and may be used for less complex cases. Dr. Swail will choose the method that best fits your goals.

5. How long is the recovery from rhinoplasty?

Most patients wear a nasal splint for 5–7 days and can return to work or school within 1–2 weeks. Swelling continues to improve over several months, and final results may take up to a year to fully settle.

6. Will insurance cover rhinoplasty?

If the procedure is performed to correct a breathing issue or deviated septum, it may be partially covered. Cosmetic rhinoplasty is not typically covered. Our team can help you understand what’s eligible during your consultation.

7. Can rhinoplasty be combined with other facial procedures?

Yes. Many patients combine rhinoplasty with chin augmentation, eyelid surgery, or other facial procedures to enhance overall harmony. Dr. Swail can guide you on the best combination for your goals.
