“Does nose job last forever?”

The results of a nose job will last a lifetime. The adjustments to the nose during a rhinoplasty procedure result in the refinement of the cartilage and bone of the nose. These adjustments will not typically change as time passes and therefore the results are permanent.

It should

You may very well continue to enjoy your result forever.

Yes, theoretically a rhinoplasty will last you the rest of your life. Our bodies do change over time and our faces do change with aging. However, you can expect that a rhinoplasty will give you a very long lasting result based on the final outcome. Remember that a rhinoplasty takes approximately one year to hit its final steady state. Good luck.

Excellent question! A nose job, or rhinoplasty, should last for the rest of your life if done well. The overlying skin can change with the rest of your face skin, but overall the nose should maintain roughly the same shape and position. The nose can shift after rhinoplasty surgery if there is inadequate support left behind. One of the most common reasons is from leaving behind inadequate tip support, or over-resecting the septum. This can lead to a tip drooping, the nose becoming deviated (crooked), or in some cases the nose can collapse. It is important to ask your surgeon about the technique they plan to use. Open rhinoplasty procedures allows some surgeons to reliably make more powerful changes to the nose. However, open rhinoplasty may also disrupt the structure of the nose more than closed rhinoplasty techniques if appropriate sutures and grafts are not placed. Using a columella strut, tip grafts, or spreader grafts can help keep portions of your nose straight and supported after open rhinoplasty. If you are a patient seeking a second opinion on rhinoplasty or need a revision, please feel free to reach out to our office to schedule a consultation with me. We are happy to make travel arrangements if you are coming from out of state.

Hello, yes, a nose job, otherwise known as Rhinoplasty, lasts forever. It is usually a painless procedure, which I perform under general anesthesia. Recovery is usually five days. For further information, you can visit my website, at Drroya.com. Good luck!
