Baltimore Rhinoplasty Specialist
Dr. Shermak has helped many Baltimore Rhinoplasty patients. Please read more about what to expect from the procedure below.
What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty brings the nose into better balance with the rest of the face. Rhinoplasty helps individuals who are unhappy with the appearance of their nose from heredity and trauma. Individuals present to smooth a hump, straighten a crooked shape, refine a full tip, thin the width, repair flaring nostrils, and correct breathing problems relating to a deviated septum or collapse. Incisions are hidden under or inside the nose. Addressing other aspects of the face, particularly the neck and chin, may be necessary to more completely address facial proportions.
Who is a good candidate for Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is performed on teenagers and adults who are unhappy with the appearance of their nose, who have suffered traumatic injury to their nose, or who have functional breathing problems. Dr. Shermak will review your history and presentation, and discuss ways she can help you achieve your goals.
What is the recovery like for Rhinoplasty?
Surgery is performed as an outpatient. Tapes and a splint are placed across the back of the nose, and there may be packing in the nostrils. You may experience temporary swelling, numbness, discomfort, and bruising that respond well to head elevation, ice packs, saline spray and Arnica Montana herbal supplementation. Most resume regular activities and return to work within a week. Depending on the surgery performed, swelling may take one month to a year to completely resolve.
