Is elevating tip of the nose a minor procedure?

By 9682anon on 19 Mar 2010

I have a droopy nose, on my face it doesn't look so bad however it kinda has the bird beak look i have a pic of my nose, my question is: would it be a minor procedure? local anesthesia, short healing period, and can I go to the beach soon after? thank you, I really appreciate this

Hi Anon, Only after examining your nose and anatomy is it possible to answer your question. It is possible in some selected cases to meet your criteria listed in your question and have you at the beach in about 3 weeks, though it is recommended that you avoid getting your nose sunburned after rhinoplasty. Good luck and be well. Dr. P
