Performed as an out-patient procedure, Rhinoplasty is a surgery that reshapes the nose. Rhinoplasty can be used to make the nose smaller, reduce the bridge of the nose, narrow the nose and shape specific portions, such as the tip of the nose or nostrils. Rhinoplasty also may be used to improve nasal breathing.

Dr. Furze can perform both nasal airway or sinus surgery at the same time as Rhinoplasty surgery, delivering better results with less down time.

While recovery time varies, most patients only take one week off from work. Dr. Furze’s patients usually experience very little pain or nausea. A small splint will be left in place for one week after surgery, and most swelling disappears several weeks after surgery. However, some minor swelling may remain for several months after surgery, and some of the most subtle changes may take up to a year to be noticeable.

Performed for functional reasons, such as to correct a broken nose or to improve the nasal airway, Rhinoplasty may be covered by your insurance. However, insurance coverage varies considerably according to each insurance company and policy. Our office is experienced in working with insurance companies, and we will assist you with insurance issues.
