Rhinoplasty in Charlotte, NC: Expert Nose Surgery from Dual Board-Certified Surgeons

At Dilworth Facial Plastic Surgery in Charlotte, dual board-certified facial plastic surgeons Dr. Andrea Garcia and Dr. Joshua Surowitz offer customized rhinoplasty (nose job) procedures to help patients achieve natural-looking results. Our surgeons tailor each rhinoplasty to optimize the proportions and angles of the nose in relation to other facial features.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty

• Lift a drooping nasal tip
• Straighten or narrow the nasal bridge
• Remove nasal humps or bumps
• Refine an enlarged or bulbous tip
• Improve breathing function

Rhinoplasty Candidates

Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty are adults in good overall health with realistic expectations. Our surgeons can address both cosmetic and functional concerns. Patients with deviated septums may pursue nose surgery to improve breathing as well as appearance.

Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty

Dr. Garcia and Dr. Surowitz offer both open and closed rhinoplasty approaches:

• Open rhinoplasty: Uses a small incision on the columella for better access. Results in a tiny, barely visible scar.
• Closed rhinoplasty: Uses hidden incisions inside the nostrils. No visible external scarring.

The surgeons will recommend the best technique during your consultation based on your unique needs.

Rhinoplasty Recovery

Recovery after rhinoplasty varies, but generally follows this timeline:

• First week: Peak swelling and bruising. Sutures removed after 7-10 days.
• Second week: Many patients return to work. Swelling continues to diminish.
• 4-6 weeks: Most swelling resolves. Patients can resume exercise.
• 3-6 months: Continued subtle improvements as residual swelling subsides.
• 1 year: Final results visible.
