Nose Surgery/Rhinoplasty



Rhinoplasty or Nose Job, as it is commonly referred, is a cosmetic procedure to reshape the nose to meet the patients' needs.  Usually the bridge is reduced and narrowed, and often that is all that is needed.  The lower portion of the nose, the tip area, can also be tightened if it is too round, shortened or lengthened if needed.  It is often elevated or rotated up a little (more often for women than men).  Rhinoplasty or Nose Job can reshape and improve appearance of the nose but it can also be used to alleviate breathing problems. 
Rhinoplasty surgery is the area of plastic surgery that is most technique-dependent. That is to say, the surgical plan and execution varies more from surgeon to surgeon than in any other procedure.  The patient needs to be thorough in their search for the right surgeon for their nose surgery.  At your complimentary consultation, Dr. Gregory Diehl will discuss all aspects of the Rhinoplasty Surgery with you and will also determine whether you are a good candidate for the Rhinoplasty Surgery.   Dr. Gregory Diehl, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon inPort Jefferson Station, Suffolk County, New York, has extensive experience in Rhinoplasty/Nasal Surgery and has been fulfilling many patients' desire to have the shape of nose that they want.

What does a Rhinoplasty/ Nose Surgery procedure involve?

Rhinoplasty procedure generally involves removing the bump and narrowing the bridge of the nose.  The tip of the nose can be reshaped by sculpting the cartilage. A splint is then applied to the bridge of the nose to help maintain its shape.

What is the Recovery like after Rhinoplasty/ Nose Surgery?

Recovery from Nose Surgery is rather mild.  A splint is usually worn over the nose for comfort and protection for a week.  Pain is quite minimal and is well handed with pain medications and cool compresses.  There is some swelling and bruising around the eyes which clears up in 7-10 days.  The new shape is immediately noticeable, but complete healing after Rhinoplasty is gradual with swelling decreasing over 1-2 months.  Patients can expect to return to work or school within a week and strenuous activity within two to three weeks.

How do I choose the right surgeon for Rhinoplasty/ Nose Job?

It is important to choose a surgeon who is experienced in Rhinoplasty/Nose Job Surgery and has been Board Certified in Plastic Surgery.  You should view his before and after pictures as well.  Dr. Gregory Diehl, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, in Port Jefferson Station, Suffolk County, New York, has been performing Rhinoplasty surgeries on Long Island for over 18 years, fulfilling many patients' desires to look and feel more confident!

Botox


Small injections of BOTOX® around the eyes make the tiny wrinkles disappear, especially when squinting or laughing (thus, "laugh lines").  It is just as useful for the "frown lines" and forehead creases.  BOTOX® is injecting small doses of muscle relaxing medication to different areas of the face to temporarily prevent the function of overactive wrinkle-forming muscle tissues. This is possible by protein in BOTOX® which blocks the transmission of nerve impulses allowing the overactive muscles to relax.  The procedure takes only approximately 10 minutes.  Pain and discomfort are minimal. 
At your complimentary consultation Dr. Gregory Diehl, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Port Jefferson Station, Long Island, New York,  will discuss all aspects of BOTOX® with you.  Dr. Diehl will also determine whether you are a good candidate for BOTOX®.  Dr. Diehl has a very gentle touch when it comes to BOTOX®.  His patients report that they "hardly felt anything at all!"  You will look even better without those "crinkles"!

How long do the results of BOTOX® last?

BOTOX® injections last about three months, sometimes as much as five.  After prolonged use ofBOTOX® the tiny muscles should relax even more, and you might not need as much or as frequently.

Is there a recovery time for BOTOX®?

BOTOX® is fast and effective. There is no recovery time and patients can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.  Results begin to appear several days after the injections.

Who should perform MY BOTOX® injections?

To reduce the risk of adverse side effects, it is important that your BOTOX® injections are administered by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has extensive experience in BOTOX® injections.  Dr. Gregory Diehl, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, in Port Jefferson Station, Suffolk County, New Yorkhas treated many patients with BOTOX® and has given them a good reason to SMILE!
