Which Concerns Can Nose Surgery Address?

Patients who struggle with their confidence can find renewed self-esteem with rhinoplasty. Our New York City plastic surgeon often uses it to refine insecurities like:

  • Wide Bridges

  • Misshapen Nasal Tips
  • Changes Caused by Nasal Trauma

Need More Than a Routine Nose Job? Our Rhinoplasty Surgeon Offers These Options

Revision Rhinoplasty

Not all plastic surgeons have the same amount of experience or qualifications as Dr. Foster. If you have undergone rhinoplasty in the past, only to be dissatisfied with your results, Dr. Foster can help. He is a double board-certified doctor with an excellent reputation for superior revision rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty for Deviated Septum

Do you often struggle to breathe through your nose? You may have a deviated septum, which affects your nasal passages. This condition can genuinely impact your life — but it's treatable. Our doctor can perform rhinoplasty surgery for functional reasons, aesthetic desires, or a combination of both.

A Well-Regarded Plastic Surgeon Treating New York and Beyond

"I live in San Francisco, but I have been coming to New York
for the last 20 years to see Dr. Foster. He is an extremely skilled
surgeon and masterful artist...No one has ever guessed that I
have had surgery, and the comments have been, as such. After
surgery, I have been told that I look like I have lost weight or
been on a great vacation...If your goal is to have natural
looking results, you MUST see Dr. Foster!"

Find Care in a Private, Accredited Facility

Our operating room is accredited by the American Association for Ambulatory Surgical Facilities. That means you can rest assured that we uphold rigorous requirements and have invested in all the advanced equipment necessary for your treatment. We think of every detail, including a recovery suite where you can rest comfortably after your surgery.

Choose a Doctor Who Understands Your Nose

It's crucial to find a doctor you can trust. Dr. Foster quite literally authored the book on this subject, having co-written a textbook on surgery. He can go above and beyond for his patients due to his qualifications, like:

Board Certification

Unlike many other New York City plastic surgeons, Dr. Foster is board certified in two specialties: otolaryngology, and plastic and reconstructive surgery. This takes additional training and testing to achieve — and not all surgeons will make the grade.

Otolaryngology Knowledge

Because of his focus in otolaryngology, which covers the ear, nose, and throat, Dr. Foster has a stronger understanding of how your nose functions. This allows him to perform more targeted revision rhinoplasty and rhinoplasty for deviated septum.

ACS Fellowship

To become a Fellow of the ACS, or American College of Surgeons, Dr. Foster had to undergo a rigorous assessment. It included substantial prerequisites, like board certification, as well as an emphasis on constant dedication to quality, like continuing education.

It's not just about finding a New York, NY, rhinoplasty surgeon; it's about finding the right one. To learn more about our esteemed doctor, contact our private boutique practice or call us at:

What Can I Expect When I Explore Rhinoplasty?

While every nose surgery at our New York, NY, practice is different,
you can expect these general steps:


 

Our discreet facial plastic surgery practice includes its own accredited operating room.

Consultation

Before you can begin the facial plastic surgery process, Dr. Foster will ensure that you're a strong candidate. He'll assess your health and your nose to make sure that treatment is possible. Our doctor will also talk with you about your expectations to ensure that they're realistic.

Planning

Dr. Foster will never compromise your safety or promise unachievable results. Instead, he'll create a realistic outline for your treatment. From refining your nasal passages to creating an upturned nasal tip, there are many techniques that our doctor can use to safely refine your cartilage and bone.

Anesthesia

Before we even think of beginning your nose job, we will ensure that you're fully comfortable with anesthesia administered by our board-certified anesthesiologist. It allows you to safely and peacefully drift off.

Incisions

To access your nose, our surgeon will need to create incisions. He will tailor his techniques, like a closed rhinoplasty conducted with discreet incisions inside your nostrils, to your exact case. His choice of methods can also help prevent nasal scarring.

Refinements

Dr. Foster will artfully reshape your cartilage and bone to create the desired new appearance for your nose. If needed, he can also adjust your septum to ensure that you can inhale and exhale properly through your nasal passages.

Final Touches

Once your personalized process is complete and your cartilage and bone have been repositioned, Dr. Foster will close the nasal incisions. He may also place splints, which can make the healing process easier.

How Old Should I Be for a Nose Job?

The answer depends on you and your case. Of course, Dr. Foster will never perform plastic surgery if you're not a good candidate, or if you have not finished developing yet. In some cases, though, patients in their teenage years can be eligible for treatment.

Can I Refine My Nose Without Surgery?

For some patients, the idea of surgery can be daunting. Luckily, our caring New York team can meet you where you're at with nonsurgical rhinoplasty. We offer BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers to refine the shape of your nose.

Injectables require far less commitment and can easily be adjusted or discontinued. They're also much easier to recover from than rhinoplasty surgery. Curious about your candidacy? Dr. Foster can help you explore the possibilities with a consultation.

I Want a Full Transformation What Are My Other Facial & Plastic Surgery Options?

If you have other concerns beyond the appearance of your nose, Dr. Foster can create a more comprehensive transformation. As with his rhinoplasty surgeries, he always aims for natural-looking results with:

Facelift

Our facial skin may sag or wrinkle throughout the years. A facelift from Dr. Foster can create a tighter, more youthful-looking appearance, as if you just had a long, relaxing getaway.

Cheek Augmentation

Some of our patients desire fuller looking cheeks, but they don't want to go in every few months for fillers. Luckily, Dr. Foster has a solution: cheek augmentation surgery with implants.

Blepharoplasty

Want wider, more open-looking eyes? Or are you unhappy with puffy under-eye skin? You could be a candidate for blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery.

A Real Rhinoplasty Story

"Excellent from the first rhinoplasty 34 years ago to my most recent face lift two months ago. His professionalism, attention to the smallest detail, openness to answer all questions and most of all the quality of his work is top notch. I would never trust my face to anyone else. I am continually told I Iook young; and no one knows I have ever had work done. That is his signature. You look and feel amazing; not artificial as so many others continue to forget."
Dr. Craig Foster
