Rhinoplasty is an effective and safe way to get the nose you have always wanted! If your concerns include a profile that appears too large, wide nostrils, or crookedness of your nasal bridge – you may be a good candidate for this cosmetic surgery. To ensure optimal results when pursuing rhinoplasty, find a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in aesthetic nasal surgery, one with whom you can openly communicate expectations and desired outcomes.
Rhinoplasty
At EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics, Dr. Barone – a board-certified skilled plastic surgeon in Toledo, Ohio whose expertise is in aesthetic surgery– is here to help restore your confidence with rhinoplasty (also known as ‘nasal reshaping’ or the ‘nose job’).
This procedure works both aesthetically to improve facial proportions and functionally often improving airflow & breathing issues related to nasal structure problems. With careful planning & skillful execution of this surgical procedure, you can look forward to not only having an appearance that complements other facial features but also improved health outcomes due to clear airways!
THE PROCEDURE
How It Works
Rhinoplasty is a delicate, precise procedure that requires experienced hands to achieve desired outcomes. Dr. Barone will discuss the plan of action with you and our board-certified anesthesiologist to make sure your experience is as comfortable as possible during surgery.
Through carefully crafted incisions, excess or asymmetrical parts are trimmed away while poorly supported structures may be fixed using cartilage from other sources like the nasal septum for adequate shape restoration before being held in place with sutures and specialized fixation techniques if needed.
Internal valves regulating airflow can also benefit from surgical grafts which help enhance breathing performance overall when combined by narrowing overly wide or uneven bones through narrow slits formed at their base – all leading up to re-draped skin tissue after reshaping finishes where it’s checked one final time before closing off any openings made throughout this process eventually capped off by postoperative packing/splinting measures for complete operation security!
What It Treats
- Imbalanced nasal size and proportions which do not compliment facial features
- Excess or asymmetrical width of the nose at the bridge or the nostrils
- A larger or disproportionate nasal hump and bridge
- A nasal tip that is square, enlarged, bulbous, pinched, or twisted
- Nasal asymmetry and disproportion
- Obstructed nasal airflow or irritation caused by a deviated nasal septum or polyps
Benefits

- Enhanced Smell: An improved sense of smell in selected patients.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine if I am a good candidate for rhinoplasty in Toledo?
Will I look ‘different’ or have an ‘operated look’ after rhinoplasty?
At EVOLV Plastic Surgery, we understand that a successful rhinoplasty should be tailored to each patient’s individual look. With an aesthetically pleasing outcome and improved breathing being our priority in Toledo, you can rest assured knowing your results will appear natural while still providing the desired improvements.
What type of anesthesia is recommended for rhinoplasty surgery?
Dr. Barone highly recommends a light general anesthetic delivered by an experienced board-certified anesthesiologist for optimal safety. Intravenous sedation or nerve blocks with local anesthesia may be options, depending on the length or complexity of the procedure.
What is the recovery process like? How long is recovery after rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is an aesthetic procedure with a recovery process that varies depending on the complexity of the surgery and the techniques used. However, at EVOLV Plastic Surgery, we strive for optimal outcomes by utilizing personalized medical skin care programs to promote healing, supplements, and LED light therapy sessions throughout the post-op period.
Typically, the swelling will subside in two weeks. Our knowledgeable and professional staff will provide information about expected recovery times so our patients can make well-informed decisions concerning their rhinoplasty journey!
Can rhinoplasty be performed without surgery?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty involves the use of dermal fillers to reshape the nose. While this is non–invasive and requires no downtime, non-surgical rhinoplasty is not permanent like the surgical options, and the results are not as prominent.
How much does rhinoplasty cost? Does insurance cover rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty surgery varies in cost, depending on the complexity of each procedure. It can include anything from anesthesia time to possible cartilage grafts and additional materials needed for successful completion.
Certain insurance carriers may cover rhinoplasties performed to correct problems directly affecting airway obstruction. EVOLV’s patient coordinator and billing team can help you explore all your potential coverage options!
Will rhinoplasty leave scars?
The incisions made during rhinoplasty are usually made inside the nose, meaning they are hidden from sight. In some cases, a small incision may be made on the outside of the nose, but this incision is typically very small and placed in a natural crease where it will be less noticeable. While some minimal scarring may occur, it usually fades over time and is not a cause for concern.
What are potential risks and complications of a rhinoplasty surgery?
At EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics, achieving exceptional results while keeping patient safety at the forefront is paramount. Although rare, there are some risks associated with any plastic surgery procedure – from anesthesia to breathing difficulties as well as infection or poor wound healing which could lead to scarring. Unsightly swelling, discoloration, and unsatisfactory nasal appearance can occur post-surgery requiring revisional procedures for optimal outcome satisfaction.
Can rhinoplasty be combined with other cosmetic procedures?
While rhinoplasty can drastically improve one’s appearance, other cosmetic procedures can also provide significant results when it comes to aesthetic enhancement. EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics offer a range of cosmetic procedures that can be combined with rhinoplasty to achieve an optimal outcome.
These procedures include chin augmentation or mentoplasty, personalized medical skin care programs, and more. Combining procedures allows for a more complete transformation.
Is there an age limit for rhinoplasty? What is the ideal age for rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is an intricate surgical procedure that should be delayed until after sixteen due to continued nasal growth and development. Altering the nasal structure too early can lead to abnormal patterns or deformities. Like a tent with external & internal support structures, removing some components at such delicate ages may cause a collapse over time.
How does rhinoplasty surgery reshape the nose?
Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure that dramatically alters the appearance of one’s nose by restructuring it in order to create more aesthetically pleasing dimensions. Through this operation, the nose can be reshaped to achieve balance with your other facial features and help you look and feel your best!
What are some common misconceptions about rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is a popular cosmetic procedure that aims to enhance the appearance or improve the function of your nose. Unfortunately, there are many misconceptions about this procedure. One of the most common misconceptions is that rhinoplasty is only for cosmetic purposes. This is not always the case, as many people undergo rhinoplasty to correct breathing problems or to fix a deviated septum.
One common misconception is that rhinoplasty is painful and risky surgery with a long recovery period. The truth is that most patients experience only mild discomfort and can return to their normal activities within two weeks.
Another misconception is that the changes will be unnatural-looking. With technological advancements, experienced board-certified surgeons can yield natural-looking and subtle changes that can enhance your appearance without appearing overdone.
Can I wear glasses after rhinoplasty?
It may take time for your nose to heal before glasses can be comfortably worn. In the first few weeks after surgery, putting pressure on the nose should be avoided, which may affect wearing glasses. Your surgeon will provide personalized advice on when it is safe for you to start wearing glasses again and may suggest alternative options during the healing process.
