More About Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job”, is a corrective nose surgery that enhances a nose’s shape and/or function. Nasal surgery can change:
- Nose size
- Nose width
- Nose profile
- Nasal tip size and direction
- Nostril size, width, and direction
- Nose symmetry
There are two main types of rhinoplasty: primary and revision. Primary rhinoplasty is the first nasal surgery; revision rhinoplasty is any subsequent nasal procedure. Dr. Minniti has experience with both types of surgeries, so if it’s your first time or you want a touch-up, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Minniti right away!

He will conduct an in-depth examination, listen to your questions and concerns, and work with you to obtain the best result possible. No rhinoplasty is the same: each rhinoplasty is tailored to the patient’s desires and anatomy,
Surgery
For all rhinoplasties, incisions will be made on the bone and cartilage of the nose. However, depending on the goal of the rhinoplasty, the techniques used will vary.
Sometimes, all incisions will be made within the nasal passageways. In other instances, Dr. Minniti will use external incisions when reducing the size of the nostrils or narrowing the base of the nose. He will use small pieces of skin at the nostril base, making sure to conceal the cuts in the crease between the cheek and nostril.
If the goal is to straighten and narrow the nose, slight modifications of nasal bone positioning may be necessary. Cartilage from the nose or other parts of the body can also be laid upon the nose to increase its size.
