Rhinoplasty

Introduction: Why Rhinoplasty Deserves an Integrative Approach

Rhinoplasty is more than just reshaping a nose—it’s about improving breathing, aesthetics, and self-confidence. At Patients Medical in New York City, our holistic approach to rhinoplasty blends the precision of modern cosmetic surgery with the supportive power of integrative medicine.

Whether you’re seeking correction for a deviated septum, recovering from injury, or refining your nasal appearance, we treat the whole person—not just the nose—to help you breathe easier and feel more confident in your skin.

What Is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure to reshape, resize, or reconstruct the nose. It can be performed for both cosmetic and functional reasons.

Types of Rhinoplasty We Perform:

We ensure natural-looking results that are in balance with your facial structure and personal goals.

Common Reasons Patients Seek Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty can be life-changing—physically, emotionally, and functionally. Reasons include:

Root Causes of Breathing Dysfunction or Aesthetic Nasal Issues

Our functional medicine team investigates underlying factors that may contribute to your symptoms before or after rhinoplasty:

Deviated septum or collapsed nasal valve

Past trauma to the nose or face

Chronic allergies or inflammation

Structural abnormalities since birth

Poor lymphatic drainage

Soft tissue inflammation from chronic sinus infections

Hormonal imbalances affecting skin tone or healing

Diagnostic Testing We Use Prior to Rhinoplasty

Before recommending surgery, we conduct a full evaluation—including cosmetic and functional assessments.

Our Holistic Rhinoplasty Program

Pre-Surgical Optimization

We prepare your body and mind for surgery using:

  • Anti-inflammatory nutritional planning
  • IV therapy with glutathione, B vitamins, and antioxidants
  • Breathing exercises and stress-reduction protocols
  • Lymphatic drainage and acupuncture (to enhance circulation and reduce swelling)
  • Supplement support for skin elasticity and wound healing

Expert Surgical Procedure

Performed by board-certified plastic surgeons trained in both aesthetic balance and functional restoration, your rhinoplasty is done with precision and artistry. We use both open and closed techniques depending on your needs.

Post-Operative Integrative Healing

After surgery, we support fast and comfortable recovery with:

  • Herbal therapies (arnica, bromelain) to reduce swelling
  • Red light therapy to enhance healing
  • Nutritional support and probiotics
  • Oxygen therapy (if needed) to optimize tissue recovery
  • Follow-up acupuncture for sinus drainage and comfort

Real Case Study: Adam’s Transformation

Adam, 29, came to us with a nasal fracture sustained during high school sports. He had trouble breathing on his right side, frequent sinus congestion, and low confidence about his nasal shape.

After evaluation, we recommended functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty. His integrative plan included:

  • Pre-op detox and antioxidant IV
  • Septoplasty with nasal refinement
  • Post-op acupuncture and cold laser therapy
  • Nutrient-dense recovery plan

Today, Adam reports effortless breathing, high confidence, and zero complications.
