What is a Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job” is a surgical procedure that manipulates bone, cartilage and other tissue to reshape the nose.
Rhinoplasty is frequently performed for cosmetic purposes but may also be medically necessary to correct a deviated septum or nasal injury. Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures, with an estimated 350,000 nose jobs performed annually according to the Cleveland Clinic.
A rhinoplasty can transform your face, rebalance your features, and give you a reason to smile whenever you look in the mirror. The Williams Center is a destination location for Amsterdam, NY residents.
Achieve Your Dream Nose at The Williams Center
Rhinoplasty is a procedure intended for mature adults who wish to enhance the appearance or function of their nose (or both).
The procedure is transformative, but it’s important patients maintain realistic expectations of their results. A positive mindset can also aid in the recovery process.
The ideal candidate for rhinoplasty is:
- A healthy non-smoker

- Prepared to pause alcohol consumption before and after surgery
- No longer experiencing facial growth
- Realistic about the procedure and recovery process

- Your face is fully grown
- You’re in good health
- You don’t smoke
- You are not pregnant or nursing
- You understand the recovery process and are willing to follow post-op instructions
- You have a positive, realistic vision for your results
