    He is board-certified in both plastic surgery and otolaryngology, or ear, nose, throat and head and neck surgery. Given his unique background and extent of experience and education, Dr. Tanna can enhance the shape of the nose and improve breathing function. Every person has unique features, and Dr. Tanna strives to create a balanced, harmonious, natural appearance that enhances the entire facial structure while, at the same time, performing the most natural rhinoplasty Long Island has to offer.

    What Is Rhinoplasty?

    Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose and improve facial harmony. The procedure can modify the bone, cartilage, or soft tissue of the nose to enhance its size, shape, and proportions while maintaining a natural appearance.

    In addition to cosmetic improvements, rhinoplasty may also address functional concerns such as breathing difficulties caused by structural issues within the nose. By carefully evaluating facial balance and nasal anatomy, surgeons can create results that enhance both appearance and nasal function.

    Because every patient’s anatomy and goals are different, rhinoplasty is a highly individualized procedure designed to achieve natural-looking results that complement the rest of the face.

Dr. Tanna is known for surgical excellence, his attention to detail, and for the impressive results he achieves for his patients. With any facial surgery, you want the most qualified surgeon working with you. Rather than employing a standard procedure, he customizes each surgery to create a natural look that enhances other facial features.

    What Should I Expect From A Rhinoplasty Procedure?

    While your surgical treatment plan will be customized to suit your facial structure, the procedure has a few general steps, which include:

    • Patient put under anesthesia, either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia, based on patient need.
    • Incisions are placed, with two options, open or closed. With an open approach, a small incision is placed at the base of the nose. Alternatively, during a closed rhinoplasty the incisions are all within the nose. The type of incisions used will be based upon the needs of the patient.
    • The nose is resculpted and reshaped to a more attractive size and shape by removing excess cartilage or bone in some patients. Our rhinoplasty in Long Island surgery may require cartilage grafts, such as in cases of a rhinoplasty revision.
    • Incisions are closed with sutures and treated area bandaged and splinted.

    Your Recovery After Rhinoplasty

    Your newly sculpted nose will be supported by a splint and you may have packing within the nose, covered with bandages to keep the nose structure supported while healing. The facial structure is very sensitive, and it will require several weeks for swelling to subside. Bruising is a normal event after surgery.

    Though your newly-shaped nose will begin to become evident within a couple of weeks, the final, sculpted appearance will continue to refine as the weeks pass. Even early on, appearance and breathing will be greatly improved.

    How Long Does Healing Take After Your Rhinoplasty Procedure?

    Every person heals at a different rate. You can help advance the healing process by keeping your head elevated and avoiding bending over or any excessive physical motion. You can return to your regular activities, including exercise, sports, or other vigorous activities after your healing has progressed sufficiently. We carefully monitor your progress and will be seeing you several times during your recovery. Dr. Tanna will advise you when you can again engage in exercise or perform heavy lifting or other strenuous activities.

    What Happens During Nasal Analysis?

    Rhinoplasty is not a one-size-fits-all operation. Dr. Tanna believes in taking an individualized approach for each patient while accounting for their unique anatomy and preferences.

    There are, however, general principles of facial and nasal aesthetics that can serve as a starting point to help patients analyze their noses and determine major areas of concern.

    Rhinoplasty in Long Island FAQ 

    How long does rhinoplasty surgery take?

    What is the recovery time after rhinoplasty?

    Will rhinoplasty affect my breathing?

    When will I see the final results of rhinoplasty?

    Am I a good candidate for rhinoplasty?

    How long does rhinoplasty surgery take?

    Rhinoplasty procedures typically take between 1.5 and 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the changes being made. The surgery is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, allowing patients to return home the same day.

    What is the recovery time after rhinoplasty?

    Most patients return to work or light activities within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. Bruising and swelling typically improve during the first two weeks, although subtle swelling may take several months to fully resolve.

    Will rhinoplasty affect my breathing?

    When performed by an experienced surgeon, rhinoplasty is designed to preserve or improve nasal airflow. In some cases, functional corrections such as septoplasty may be performed during rhinoplasty to improve breathing.

    When will I see the final results of rhinoplasty?

    Initial improvements are visible once swelling and bruising begin to resolve. However, the final shape of the nose continues to refine for up to 12 months as swelling gradually subsides.

    Am I a good candidate for rhinoplasty?

    Good candidates for rhinoplasty are generally healthy individuals who have realistic expectations and have completed facial growth. Patients who are bothered by the size, shape, or function of their nose may benefit from a consultation to determine whether rhinoplasty is the right option.
