Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the underlying structures of the nose to improve its overall appearance. As one of the most commonly requested surgical procedures in the U.S., rhinoplasty can alter various characteristics of the nose to enhance the aesthetic balance of facial features and even improve breathing by straightening a deviated septum.

Please contact the Plastic Surgery Center of Austin to schedule a consultation for rhinoplasty and nose reshaping surgery at our Austin, Texas-area practice.

The Rhinoplasty Procedure

Rhinoplasty at our Austin practice can accomplish delicate refinements to the shape of the nose or a dramatic change, depending on the surgical goals of the patient. With the patient’s desired outcome in mind, our plastic surgeon customizes each rhinoplasty to best suit the individual’s specific needs and goals. Using only the most innovative surgical techniques and his discerning artistic eye, he carefully adjusts the nose to a more complementary size and shape.

Rhinoplasty Results - Refined and Balanced

After post-surgical puffiness subsides, the new shape of the nose is truly revealed. Many rhinoplasty patients at our Austin practice are pleased to find that their nose results in a more refined and balanced profile that enhances the overall appearance of their facial features.

Please contact us for more information about rhinoplasty at The Plastic Surgery Center of Austin, or to schedule a consultation with one of our plastic surgeons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does PSCA file insurance for abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and/or brachioplasty (the removal of excess skin due to excessive weight loss)?

A: No. Some physicians' offices will file these procedures under insurance, but our office considers them strictly cosmetic.

Q: Does your office perform the gastric bypass procedure?

A: No. Only a general or bariatric surgeon is qualified to perform this procedure. After extreme weight loss, plastic surgery may be desired to remove excess skin and fat. Even though some insurance companies may cover abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and brachioplasty, our office considers these procedures to be strictly cosmetic.

Q: I was seen in the emergency room and the ER told me I need to see a specialist right away. Can I make an appointment?

A: The only way that we can see a patient within 48 hours is if one of our doctors was ’on-call’ at that particular ER on that particular day. Otherwise, we can only fit you in at our first availability. Unfortunately, availability may sometimes be several weeks away.

Q: Is there any possible way you can get me in sooner?

A: Considering that we are a specialist office, it is possible that we may be fully booked for up to one to three months in advance and we are normally ’double-booked’ up two weeks in advance, which would result in making it very difficult to obtain an appointment sooner. If this is an emergency, then the patient should go directly to an emergency room.

Q: What are your office hours?

A: Monday - Thursday (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM / 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM); Friday (8:00 AM - 1:00 PM). We are not open on weekends.

Q: What does ’on-call’ mean for plastic surgeons? What if I have received treatment from one of your plastic surgeons in the ER?

A: There are approximately 11 plastic surgeons in the Austin area that take turns being on-call for plastic surgery at all of the main Austin emergency rooms. If you are seen in the emergency room and you are referred to us for a follow-up, please call and make an appointment. Let us know the name of the physician who referred you to us, the name of the ER that referred you to our office, and the date on which you were seen in the ER. The plastic surgeon who is on call the day of your visit to the ER is responsible for your care. Please be aware, however, that you are ultimately responsible for fees associated with your follow-up care.
