Achieve greater facial harmony with personalized rhinoplasty designed to refine the shape, proportion, and balance of your nose. Our precise, individualized approach focuses on natural-looking results that complement your unique features.
A large number of people are unhappy with the shape of their nose. The good news is that such unhappiness does not have to persist. Rhinoplasty gives you the option of altering and improving your look. Rhinoplasty is a very common cosmetic surgery procedure and can achieve:
Nose jobs are a commonly talked about procedure and are also becoming more and more common among people of all ages. But for those who have no experience with rhinoplasty, there are several important things to know before opting for this type of surgery.
Unlike many other types of plastic surgery, rhinoplasty is not something that needs maintenance. The results are permanent and, as long as you communicate what you want to your doctor, there will be no need for any future alterations. Just make sure to communicate exactly what you want to your doctor.
Of course, we all want to look better. But rhinoplasty serves more than the function of vanity. The procedure can also correct breathing problems, which stem from obstructions in the airways. Rhinoplasty surgery can lead to more effective breathing and eliminate problem areas in that region.
It is normal to have swelling and bruising after rhinoplasty. The extent of both are due to the type of rhinoplasty performed and individual differences in healing. The immediate effects of surgery should last about two weeks, but subtle swelling in the nasal tip can take a year to go away. Most patients return to work in 7 to 10 days and can begin exercising in two weeks. Swelling can persist in rhinoplasty, so it is best to be patient with your recovery.
Older patients may experience more bruising because their blood vessels are a bit more fragile. People taking medications to thin the blood should be off those medications for at least two weeks prior to surgery to reduce bruising. A consultation with your doctor will shed more light on these potential effects.
After your rhinoplasty procedure, your nose is not so fragile that you cannot touch it. However, it is not recommended to rub your nose too much or too vigorously. Doing so could undo some of your stitches or impede the corrective results. Excessive rubbing of the tip of the nose could also lead to additional swelling and irritation.
Swelling in the nasal passage may impact your sense of smell immediately after the procedure; however, once the swelling goes down, things will return to normal and every nearby aroma will once again be recognizable. Long-term effects to one’s sense of smell are extremely uncommon in rhinoplasty procedures.
Septal cartilage, which comes from inside your nose, is sometimes used during a rhinoplasty procedure especially if areas like the tip or bridge need augmentation. When that is not an option, cartilage can be used from other parts of the body. If cartilage is not an option, then synthetic materials such as silicone can be used but are rarely the primary option.
Once your procedure is completed, it is time to look forward to a future with a look you have always dreamed of. However, here are some things to expect during the recovery period:
There is a lot more that goes into just ‘getting a nose job.’ Rhinoplasty accomplishes a lot more than most people tend to know. Here are a few facts about the procedure:
Contour and refine
Restore and Rejuvenate
Enhance, Lift or reduce
Refresh and enhance
Confidently you

I truly love this practice and the people there. Katrina has always been so helpful in recommending the right treatments and products for my skin. She really takes the time to understand my skin and what I am trying to achieve, and I trust her recommendations completely. I have always been treated so well and would definitely recommend Katrina, Dr. Lipska, and the entire team!Posted on Google Elaine RoseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a most delightful experience with Dr. Liszka & His assistant Jenny. I had a facelift procedure, which was very professional, and they were concerned and answered my questions patiently. I feel like he performed the exact surgical procedure and result that I was looking for. I highly recommend his practice for any kind of procedure that he offers!

I can’t thank Dr. Liszka enough for the incredible work on my Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) and Liposuction. After having kids, I struggled with loose skin and stubborn fat, and now my abdomen looks flatter and toned again. The recovery was smoother than I expected, and the support from the staff was amazing. I finally feel like myself again.Posted on Google April SharpTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From my first visit I have loved this practice! The staff is amazing and knowledgeable and really seem to care. Katrina is incredible and my son is also her patient. She is the only person doing facials for us both and has the best skin care routine and products to better your skin health and slow aging signs. I also recommend Leslie she is a skilled injector and knows what she is doing. I have also had the pleasure of having Dr. Liszka do a procedure and he was top notch! Would definitely see him for anything I wanted in the future. His after care nurse, Jenny is very on top of her post care and just makes you feel at ease and really checks on you! It’s an all around great place and I recommend them to all my people that want good quality skin care.Posted on Google Arthur JameTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The process of consultation to recovery was very good. The entire staff made me feel relaxed and listened to me keenly on what I desired. The outcomes of My Breast Lift (Mastopexy) are natural and perfectly-balanced. I feel more confident in what I wear and even in a swim suit. I am thankful to all the attention and resources given to me during the whole process.Posted on Google Maria LairdTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are looking for a skin expert look no further than Katrina. She is professional, patient and deeply knowledgeable about her craft. She took the time to explain exactly what my skin needed and why. She customized a skin treatment plan for a very stubborn sun spot that was on my face, and I’m happy to say that the spot is no longer visible. She then tailored a maintenance plan to make sure not only that it stays away, but that my face gets a personalized skincare plan based on my ‘face goals’ as I like to call it. I am beyond impressed with her personalized approach and highly recommend her to anyone looking for real results!Posted on Google Leslie Lord-coxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Liska is one of the best plastic surgeons I’ve ever met. He takes the time to really listen to you and giving you superior results. I also adore his assistant Jenny! She’s very knowledgeable and helpful! The entire office is always welcome and accommodating.
