"Without makeup, the central feature of the face is the nose, which often determines the attractiveness of the face. Custom Rhinoplasty is designed to enhance the appearance of the entire face and not just the shape of the nose..."  By Joseph Michael Pober, M.D., F.A.C.S., P.C.

Rhinoplasty recontours the nose to balance your profile and proportionalizes this central facial feature. Depending on your preference, you may have local or general anesthesia and have the surgery performed in the hospital or in the office. Patients usually go home after surgery. There are no external scars or sutures in most cases. A nasal splint is removed after 5-7 days. Many patients return to work after the splint is removed applying makeup to any residual bruising. Patients usually enjoy normal social activities including physical exercise after three weeks, but avoid contact sports for six weeks.

"Hampton's Magazine" quoted Dr. Pober's approach to rhinoplasty when he stated: "I focus on the patient's strongest features when they come into my office. A pretty mouth and eyes can hide behind a disproportionate nose or chin, and the whole look is enhanced when sometimes minor changes [such as a nose job] are made." The magazine adds "minor changes made by a plastic surgeon with a sculptors hand" allow Dr. Pober to "produce natural looking human works of art". In other words, when Dr. Pober performs a rhinoplasty, he works to bring out the "hidden beauty" of your eyes, mouth and general face, so that the end result is total beauty and not just a pretty nose. No one wants to be told, "Gee, who did your nose? It's beautiful". Instead, Dr. Pober's rhinoplasty patients commonly hear, "Your face looks beautiful".
