Open rhinoplasties are the ideal treatment option for men and women seeking dramatic changes to the shape, size, or position of their nose. This specialized technique allows Dr. Stein to more effectively achieve the end-results you’re looking for. If you are bothered by the nose you were naturally given, it might be time to consider enlisting the help of open rhinoplasty procedures at Stein Plastic Surgery.
How Does Open Rhinoplasty Work?
An open (or external) rhinoplasty is typically done on an outpatient basis under IV sedation. Dr. Stein uses his advances surgical skills as a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon to create incisions within the natural creases of your skin. These incisions allow for more dramatic changes with minimal pain, scarring, and social downtime.
Depending on the outcome you’d like to achieve, your procedure may take anywhere from 1-2 hours. After a short observation period, you’ll be able to head home for a more comfortable recovery.
Am I a Good Candidate For Open Rhinoplasty?
The open rhinoplasty technique is primarily used for patients that want significant re-shaping with consistently superior result. Patients that would like to correct minor concerns may be able to benefit from closed surgical methods. Men and women considering rhinoplasties should be in otherwise good general health. Non-smokers typically have the best outcome from surgery.

What Results Will I See?
Initial results can be seen right away. As any post-surgical swelling subsides, you’ll be able to see continued improvement. Most patients are pleased with the ultimate outcome of their procedure around week two. However, it can take several months and up to a year for your nose to fully ‘settle’ into its final position. Open rhinoplasties are generally a one-time procedure and do not need to be repeated to maintain an optimal outcome.

I have always been unhappy with my nose and it’s masculine appearance. I have a very small face and frame and it just never seemed to fit. Since the first consultation I knew Dr. Stein was the surgeon I wanted to go to. He was very mindful and observant of every little detail that I did not like. Dr. Stein and his whole staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. I loved my experience and my new nose is amazing! I would highly recommend Dr. Stein to anyone looking to have any facial cosmetic procedure.
I am extremely pleased with the outcome and with Dr.Stein’s talent! My nose looks even better than I expected and keeps getting better each day. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made and I am so glad I chose to come here to have it done.
My rhino/septoplasty experience with Dr. Stein was AMAZING. Not only were the results better than what I could have imagined, but everyone at his office was so polite and wonderful to work with. Thanks to Dr. Stein I can breathe better and look better – in a perfectly natural way!
