CLAIM YOUR PROFILEFollowing eyelid surgery there is very little pain. It is common to see swelling and bruising for a week to 10 days following the surgery. All the sutures are removed 6 days post-operative. After 7 days, cover-up make-up can be applied to conceal the bruising. Most of my patients return to work between a week and 10 days following surgery. It is always wise to choose a well-trained, experienced, and board certified plastic surgeon.

Most of our patients undergoing full facelifts are back to work in 2 weeks or less time. All the sutures are out by 10-12 days after the surgery. There still may be a little swelling/bruising in front of the ears, which is easily covered with make-up.
There is generally very little pain associated with this procedure. It is still preferable for the patient not to perform any vigorous activity for approximately 1 month after surgery. It is always wise to choose a well-trained, experienced, plastic surgeon who commonly performs these procedures. Always ask your doctor about his training, experience, and board certification.

In terms of recovery, you can expect swelling and bruising for a couple of weeks, and a minimal amount of discomfort for a few days. Most of our patients will take extra strength Tylenol and don't need narcotic pain medicine. Most of our patients are back to work in a week.

The cost of a rhinoplasty does depend on where you have it done. However, much more important than the cost are the qualifications and capabilities of the surgeon performing the surgery. For every primary rhinoplasty I perform, I operate on 2-3 times that number of patients who have had anywhere from 2-7 previous rhinoplasty procedures by other doctors. Often times, the patient was shopping for a low price and not the experience and qualification of the doctor.

While I believe your issue is potentially fixable, let me begin by highlighting that there is always a risk/reward ratio with respect to plastic surgery. While there is risk with any procedure, each additional surgery to your nose increases the risk that you may not receive the results you desire. Accordingly, these four concepts impact the way I analyze revision rhinoplasty cases:
1. Safety first
2. Effective techniques
3. Natural results
4. Less is more
In reviewing your photographs and comments, there is a chance you may be overlooking the overall structure of your nose, which can make a significant impact on the overall look and symmetry of your nose. Please provide pictures of your entire nose and your face so that I can best assess your case using these three rhinoplasty result guidelines:
1. Nose looks good in and of itself
2. Nose fits the face
3. Nose looks natural
Based on the two pictures you provided, it appears that your issue is potentially fixable. You will want to review the details of your prior surgery with a revision rhinoplasty specialist in order to develop a customized plan. However, you are currently in the early stages of healing from your initial procedure. I suggest that you allow 6 to 12 months post surgery before undergoing revision surgery.
Please remember that a revision rhinoplasty surgeon must do a full exam of the nose including the interior of your nose in order to make fully informed recommendations.
Wishing you luck,

Hello Nicole,

Based on the pictures you provided of the tip, there appears to be too small a space over the graft, causing lack of blood flow to the skin and resulting in the white/blanche color you mentioned.
Adding fillers to this area would only increase the lack of space. As a surgical minimalist, I still believe it is wise to remove the graft and fix the issue rather than compensate with the addition of fillers.
A note on non-surgical rhinoplasty: Generally, if something sounds too good to be true, it is. Non-surgical rhinoplasty falls into this category and is currently causing confusion for those seeking to refine their appearance. Fillers do not produce long-lasting rhinoplasty results. Further, injections into the nose cause inflammation and may lead to an increase in scarring, making future surgical rhinoplasty procedures more difficult.
Please remember that a revision rhinoplasty surgeon must do a full exam of the nose including the interior of your nose in order to make fully informed recommendations.

Hello vikram1992,
Let me begin by highlighting that there is always a risk/reward ratio with respect to plastic surgery.

In reviewing your photographs and comments, it appears that you may be overlooking the overall structure of your nose, which can make a significant impact on the overall look and symmetry of your nose. I use these three guidelines for assessing rhinoplasty results:
1. Nose looks good in and of itself
2. Nose fits the face
3. Nose looks natural
Based on these criteria, you may find that adjustments to the upper part of your nose specifically your nasal bones would increase the overall symmetry of your nose. With respect to the tip, adjustments to your columella may help you achieve your desired nostril balance. I encourage you to take a cautious approach to additional surgeries focused on the tip of your nose.
Please remember that a revision rhinoplasty surgeon must do a full exam of the nose including the interior of your nose in order to make fully informed recommendations.

Unlike other areas the body the nose area tends to maintain swelling for prolonged periods. A nasal procedure healing continues during the course of an entire year. At one year you are 90% healed. Patient who have thicker skin on the nasal tip will often see changes for up to two years. Prolonged swelling can effect different areas of the nose which may give the illusion of dents and bumps. You should start to see improvement after six months, and better evaluated after 12 months. Although many patients will be satisfied with the results of the rhinoplasty after two to three months, the fact is more improvement is still likely during the course of the first year. Just be patient, the wait is worth it.

Dr Newman is amazing. He took such good care of me before, during and after my rhinoplasty/septoplasty. And I could not be happier with the results! It’s so much easier to breathe, and I love how it looks - just enough of a difference for me to be very happy, not enough for anyone else to know what the subtle change is! Perfect!
I am a well respected physician that made the mistake of not researching for the best surgeon to help with a prior nasal bridge factor. After 20 months of incorrect treatments and misdiagnoses, I was finally referred to Dr. Newman. He 1. Identified the problem, 2. Fixed the problem and 3. Did so in a timely, respectful, professional and nice manner. Your nose is the first thing that people see. Only go to the best. And for me, as a physician, that was Dr. Fredric Newman.
I wanted to wait a few months until after my procedure to leave a review. I had a septorhinoplasty done with Dr. Newman in early February. I cannot tell you how much research went into selecting a surgeon. I'm from the Boston area and looked at numerous doctors around me, but ultimately decided on Dr. Newman for a number of reasons.He's one of the few surgeons that does the closed rhinoplasty technique. I wanted a closed surgery because it leaves less scarring and has a faster healing timeline. As someone of south asian descent, I also wanted a surgeon with ethnic rhinoplasty experience. Finally, I loved his before and after results.As someone that has terrible anxiety, I was incredibly nervous going into the procedure. I was comforted by the fact that he only has a 3% revision rate, but I found myself not being able to sleep a few nights before the surgery. However, the procedure itself was super fast and my recovery was not bad at all. I honestly thought healing from my wisdom teeth was more painful.A few months after the surgery, I am beyond happy with my results. My nose looks very natural, it's no longer crooked, it's way smaller, and I love my side profile. The results get better every single day. Thank you Dr. Newman! The results are priceless and I'm so thankful I made the decision to make this change.
All of the staff and dr Newman were so nice and helpful every step of the way. My nose looks great and natural, and I can breathe even better than I did before. I had minimal to no bruising, and dr Newman and staff helped me every way through the recovery, answering any questions I had.
I have been wanting to do this surgery for years, went for consultations with six different plastic surgeons here and in other parts of the world, never felt the comfort and the confidence that I had with Dr. Newman. He was great, he explained everything thoroughly. The surgery went well with minimal amount of pain. The recovery was smooth and first weak results are great. Thank you Dr. Newman and Staff
Dr. Newman and his staff are extremely professional, buttoned up, are there to help, and truly know how to make you feel comfortable. This was my first surgery and I was nervous going into it. Christina and Amy answered every single one of my questions and were both very clear throughout about what the process would look like. On the day of my surgery I was naturally a bit scared and nervous. All of the fear and nerves were eliminated as soon as I spoke with the nurse, the Anethesiologt, and Dr. Newman right before surgery. The results have so far been everything that I expected due to this staff having excellent communication skills. I will absolutely be referring my friends and family here.
My experience with Dr. Newman was nothing short of perfection. Dr. Newman was extremely patient and compassionate during my consultation, I never felt rushed. He explained my procedure in detail and was always available to answer any questions. My results have exceeded my expectations and I am beyond grateful to Dr. Newman and his team. Dr. Newman restored my body, I not only look and feel better but have been blessed with the gift of kindness and compassion from a new friend...Dr. Newman you enhance lives, thank you.
Revision is scheduled with Dr. Newman ... Dr Newman listened to my concerns and he knows what I’m looking for and he’s a very pleasant dr to talk to... he treats you like family...hopefully I will get close to the nose I’m looking for..not a perfect nose but a normal feminine nose like Jennifer Aniston .. will keep everyone updated once surgery is done... Updated on 4 Nov 2019: Not a good experience with this Dr..
Excellente trabajo el del Dr. Newman Con mi cirugia de reconstruction de senos, era muy complicada y dificil pero el lo hizo posible y en tan solo 3 horas, yo lo recomiendo sin duda alguna Muchos doctores decian que era imposible quedar bien, pero el lo hizo posible, todo el equipo de la clinica fueron muy epofesionelas en todo momento Updated on 10 Oct 2018: Excellent work Dr. Newman With my breast reconstruction surgery, it was very complicated and difficult but he made it possible and in just 3 hours, I recommend it without any doubt Many doctors said that it was impossible to look good, but he made it possible, the whole team of the clinic were very professional at all times
I went to see Dr. Newman after two of my friends had gone to him for Rhinoplasties and I loved their results (they couldn’t stop talking about how amazing he was) and I’m so glad I listened to them! I had been to to other consultations with different doctors before but Dr.Newman made me feel the most comfortable and he knew exactly what I wanted/needed done. As soon as I walked in I felt welcomed by all the wonderful staff who have been very helpful. Dr.Newman, his nurse and Larissa were there 24/7 to answer any questions I had and calmed my nerves when it came to surgery day. The surgery and recovery went as smoothly as possible with NO pain at all and in a week I was back to my normal routine. I am very happy with my Rhinoplasty results. I have recommended my friends who are looking into Rhinoplasty to meet with Dr.Newman!
