HOw is a rhinoplasty performed?
Each procedure is completely customized to help patients achieve their specific, desired results. A rhinoplasty is performed in our state-of-the-art surgery center under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. Patients will need someone to drive them home after surgery and care for them during the first 24 hours. Your surgeon will use one of two techniques when performing nose surgery. In a closed rhinoplasty, incisions are made within the nostrils. In an open rhinoplasty, the incision is made across the columella, the tissue between the nostrils. With both methods, he gently lifts the soft tissues covering the nose, then sculpts the bone and cartilage to the desired shape. Any additional cartilage needed to support the nose is often taken from the septum or the ear in some revision procedures. If patients have a deviated septum, Dr. Petroff will straighten the septum and the inner structures of their nose to improve breathing. Then the tissues will be redraped and stitched closed. If patients desire nostril reshaping, this will be done in the final stage of a rhinoplasty.
Petroff Center Plastic Surgery and Medi-Spa Reviews
I had rhinoplasty surgery completed with Dr. Petroff, I really liked the result, it's so natural and beautiful. The Doctor really did what I wanted, and he was very patient and listened carefully to me, everyone was very kind and supportive, thank you so much.
Great experience here regarding a rhinoplasty. The team kept me comfortable and informed throughout the process. I had all my questions answered and was given all the items I needed for my recovery. Highly recommended!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Straight from my consultation day to now (6 week post rhinoplasty) my experience at The Petroff Center was the best care I could have ever imagined. Every single staff member I encountered throughout my journey has been the absolute warmest, I believe that is vital when you’re dealing with something as nerve wracking as surgery. They did a phenomenal job at making sure I was being taken care of 100%. I appreciate everyone for making me feel at ease from the moment I walked in. The day of surgery I had both my parents join me- the center was just as kind, informative, and hospitable to my family as they were with me. They even went as far as offering a private room for them to wait and relax-this room included a comfy couch and a tv. 😆 The surgery itself was a breeze-the 2-3 hour surgery felt like 20 minutes. Happy to say I NEVER felt any pain, slight discomfort at its worst. Had a nurse check in on me that evening (much appreciated!) I always felt like I had someone from The Petroff Center holding my hand through the experience. Above all-of course, I want to give Dr.Petroff a huge thank you for making one of my long time dreams come true. The day the cast came off I cried happy tears on my drive back home. Despite the healing journey only beginning I could already see the results I always longed for. The best part is that I get to see my nose transition throughout the year and I only love it more and more. I am beyond thankful for having someone like Dr.Petroff near me but honestly I would have traveled anywhere to get the results I see today. He is truly passionate at what he does and I think his office and staff are a shining testament to this. If you’re doing your research on a top place to take your business look no further. This is the place for you! Thank SO much to everyone at the Petroff Cebter! ♥️
Dr. Petroff did my daughter’s rhinoplasty about 3 months ago. Her nose had been an insecurity for most of her life. Along with the insecurity, breathing was difficult for her. Dr. Petroff fixed both problems beautifully. It looks so natural and has given her confidence to take pictures. I worked in the medical field 20 years ago for an old school doctor that taught exactly how excellent patient care needed to be done. The moment you walk in the door you will feel the excellent, old school patient care by his staff and the doctor. The way things should be done by every medical office.
I had the most wonderful experience with Dr. Petroff and everyone I met at the Petroff center! I had wanted a rhinoplasty for years and Dr. Petroff explained the whole process to me and listened to what I was hoping to get out of it. I felt completely informed and supported the entire time. Pre and post surgery I felt safe and taken care of. They also checked up on me constantly after surgery and made sure I was doing well. I am so happy with how my nose turned out and forever thankful to Dr. Petroff and his team!

What Can I expect After a Rhinoplasty?
Nasal packing is rarely necessary following a rhinoplasty. Patients can expect some bruising, soreness, and swelling for a week or so after their surgery. A splint may be used for a few days to assist the nose in maintaining its new shape. If patients experience pain after their nose surgery, we can provide medication. Most patients are able to return to school or work 7 - 10 days following their nose surgery, but it may take months before they see the final result of their rhinoplasty. Strenuous exercise and contact sports should be avoided for up to 6 weeks, and patients should not sleep on their side for a week or two. Given the nature of the operation, the results should be long term and remain throughout the patient's lifetime.
