Correct nasal imperfections & enhance facial harmony

Your nose is the center of attention when it comes to your face. It’s a feature first noticed by all who meet you. Because of this, rhinoplasty surgery can make a dramatic difference in your look and confidence. The rhinoplasty procedure helps Atlanta patients achieve the nose they love or, in some cases, just breathe easier.

Dr. Colgrove has been satisfying patients in the Atlanta and Fulton County areas for more than 25 years by producing beautiful, natural-looking results in a professional, relaxed, and supportive setting. Dr. Colgrove has the experience and expertise to answer any questions and alleviate any concerns you might have about this procedure. In addition to being skilled in aesthetic surgery, Dr. Colgrove is an accomplished reconstructive surgeon.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult plastic surgery procedures to achieve consistently good results. The difference between a good result and a poor result in rhinoplasty can be as little as 1 millimeter. Dr. Colgrove has the delicate surgical skills and outstanding sense of aesthetics needed to achieve the result that best complements your other facial features.

Your rhinoplasty experience

Consultation

Before surgery, our Atlanta rhinoplasty patients engage in a thorough consultation with Dr. Colgrove, which includes a computer simulation of possible results. During the consultation, Dr. Colgrove will discuss your medical history and expectations and evaluate your nose to determine the techniques that will produce the best possible outcome for you. A surgery plan will be created that includes pre-surgery instructions, surgical techniques, and anesthesia to be used, as well as post-operative care and expectations.

Surgery

On the day of your surgery, you will be welcomed into our accredited outpatient surgical center. The rhinoplasty procedure typically lasts between 1 to 2 hours and can be performed under local sedation or general anesthesia. Dr. Colgrove will skillfully reshape your nose to create a more harmonious balance with your facial features. The surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis, meaning you can return home the same day.

Recovery

After your rhinoplasty, you can expect some temporary side effects such as bruising and swelling around your eyes and nose, headaches, and minor bleeding. These are normal and should subside within the first few weeks. Recovery time generally spans 1 to 2 weeks, during which you should rest and avoid strenuous activities. Dr. Colgrove will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

Results

The final results of your rhinoplasty will gradually become apparent as your nose heals. While you will notice improvements as the swelling decreases, the complete and permanent results can take up to 1 year to fully manifest. Once healed, your nose will have a more balanced and refined appearance, enhancing your overall facial harmony and boosting your confidence.
