Rhinoplasty (Nasal Surgery)

Without makeup, the central feature of the face is the nose, which often determines the attractiveness of the face.

Rhinoplasty recontours the nose to balance your profile and proportionalizes this central face feature.  Depending on your preference you may have local or general anesthesia and have the surgery performed in the hospital or in my office.  Patients usually go home after surgery. There are no external scars or sutures in most cases.  A nasal splint is removed after 5 to 7 days.  Many patients return to work after the splint is removed applying makeup to any residual bruising.  Patients usually enjoy normal social activities including physical exercise after three weeks, but avoid contact sports for six weeks.

“Hampton’s Magazine” quoted Dr. Pober’s approach to rhinoplasty when he stated:  “I focus on the patient’s strongest features when they come into my office.  A pretty mouth and eyes can hide behind a disproportionate nose or chin, and the whole look is enhanced when sometimes minor changes [such as nose job] are made.”  The magazine adds “minor changes made by a plastic surgeon with a sculpture hand” allow Dr. Pober to “produce natural looking human works of art”.  In other words when Dr. Pober performs a rhinoplasty, he works to bring out the “hidden beauty” of your eyes, mouth, and general face, so that the end result is total beauty and not just a pretty nose.  No one wants to be told, “Gee, who did your nose? It’s beautiful”.  Instead, Dr. Pober’s rhinoplasty patients commonly hear, “Your face looks beautiful”.

In “New York Newsday”: “A rhinoplasty for example, must look right in relation to the forehead and chin,” says Manhattan plastic surgeon Joseph M. Pober, MD.  “We ask for a harmony that makes the difference between a beautiful nose that fits the face and a nose that has no relation to the rest of the face.”

“Dr. Pober has often been brought in on cases that were considered lost hopes”, according to “Hampton’s Magazine.”  “The Daily News” featured Dr. Pober’s rescue work, after a girl’s “first nose job [by another surgeon] left her all bent out of shape”.

Dr. Pober’s rhinoplasty not only corrects the deformity of the nose but also bring the features of the face into harmony and beauty and balance.  Dr. Pober’s rhinoplasty have not only won him recognition nationally, but internationally as well, such as the Polish beauty magazine, “Pani”
