While rhinoplasty undoubtedly requires surgical expertise, the best outcomes come from conversations that happen leading up to the procedure. Openly discussing your vision with your surgeon and getting on the same page allows them to tailor their techniques, delivering results that are authentic to you.
At Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, we’re turning uncertainty into confidence before you enter the operating room. Here’s how the initial discussions with your surgeon determine your satisfaction from nose reduction in New York City.
Visualizing the Possibilities
As a uniquely dual board-certified plastic surgeon who leads and educates other surgeons on his rhinoplasty techniques, Dr. Pearlman is raising the standards for patient care. He uses advanced 2D and 3D computer imaging during every rhinoplasty consultation, allowing us to show you your potential results from every angle.
After openly discussing your aesthetic goals and examining your nose, we’ll take 9 photos of your nose. Then, we compile the images to understand your concerns on a more detailed level. Once we’ve established shared goals, Dr. Pearlman morphs the 3D images to understand how these changes affect your appearance.
While you’re more than welcome to bring example before and after photos to your consultation for inspiration, this process allows you to see how those features translate onto your face.
Understanding the Recovery Process
Part of setting realistic expectations for your results from a nose procedure includes understanding the healing process. After your rhinoplasty in Manhattan, we’ll carefully apply a cast to your nose to protect it while the bones and cartilage settle into their new position.
Once we remove your cast about 8 days later, your nose and under-eye area may appear yellow from bruising. This typically resolves within the next week, but swelling will continue to go down for months. While you can resume your routine after about 3 weeks—and will see some improvements—your full results appear once your nose has completely healed, which takes about a year. If you opt for a ”mini” rhinoplasty in Manhattan, focusing solely on reshaping just the tip or a small hump on the nose, you may recover faster.
Confidence Starts With Clarity
Beautiful results start with realistic expectations, and at Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, we help you fully understand your options so you feel confident about your decision. Schedule your consultation to unlock honest answers, real options, and expert guidance for your nose reduction in New York City.
