Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
Island Plastic Surgery offers Nose Surgery to patients from Mineola, West Islip, Long Island and nearby areas.
Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, can enhance your appearance and self-confidence by correcting a nose that is too large, crooked or misshaped. At Island Plastic Surgery in New York, we use rhinoplasty to reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. The procedure may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve breathing problems due to a deviated septum.
Even the slightest alteration to a person’s nose can make a dramatic difference. With rhinoplasty, the goal of our staff in Mineola and West Islip is to create facial harmony, so the most prominent feature, the nose, is in perfect proportion and complementary to your features. Our skills and compassion draws nose surgery patients from all over the Long Island region, including residents of New Rochelle, Yonkers and Hempstead, NY, and Greenwich, CT.
Am I a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

- Too thin
- Too thick
- Too pointed
- Upturned tip
- Wide nostrils

How is Rhinoplasty Performed?
The surgeon begins by creating incisions inside the nostrils and sometimes on the thin piece of skin separating the nostrils. The bone in the nose is re-set, and the cartilage is sculpted to achieve the desired appearance. Implants may be used to increase the volume of tissue. Once the rhinoplasty surgeon is done sculpting, the incisions are closed and the skin over the nose is held together with a splint to support its new shape as it heals.
What are Rhinoplasty Costs?
Rhinoplasty prices in New York depend on the amount of correction desired. If nose surgery is needed for medical reasons, such as a deviated septum or to repair structural damage or defects, then rhinoplasty costs may be covered by insurance. You can ask about your options during your nose surgery consultation in Mineola or West Islip.
