I saved up to have a rhinoplasty in 2020 - Growing up, I always felt insecure about my nose. In school, I would often get teased and made fun of. This caused me to have quite a low self-esteem. I saved up to have a rhinoplasty in 2020. My nose looks so much better now. My only regret is, I wish I would have done this sooner.

Facelift and neck lift after weight loss - unbelievable results - It's not common to find many people talking about facelift and neck lift after weight loss. For me, as I was losing weight after bariatric surgery, I noticed my face started to get droopier and I looked older without the "fat" in my face. I underwent facelift and neck lift with Dr. Timothy Katzen and the results are unbelievable. He didn't over-tighten my face where it was obvious that I had something done. People I work with and family members continue to compliment how young and good I look.
Loving my New Body (Body Lift and Thigh Lift) - I met Dr. Katzen at a weight loss convention. He did a presentation on Plastic Reconstructive Surgery after Weight Loss. He talked about all the common procedures that his weight loss patients have had done, such as body lift, thigh lift, breast aug, arm lift, torsoplasty, facelift, etc...I was so intrigued by him and his skills. He literally transforms bodies so beautifully. At the time, I had just had bariatric surgery. One and a half years later, I went to him for a body lift and thigh lift. He made me a new body that I love so much.
Beautiful job on my facelift! Just enough to look young & fresh - I had a facelift with Dr. Timothy Katzen and I love my new fresh face. Everyone who knows me instantly compliments how much younger I look. Dr. Katzen did not over "tighten" my face. He did just enough to make me look young and fresh. I love how Dr. Katzen puts so much care and attention to detail in his work. Dr. Katzen is simply the best!

Who is a Candidate for rhinoplasty?
Adults and teenagers over 16 years of age are candidates for rhinoplasty. If you find yourself frustrated with the appearance of your nose and have distinct issues you hope to improve, enhance, or correct, this procedure may be the ideal course of action. It's important to have realistic expectations for your outcomes because your nose and facial profile will be changed. Additionally, patients considering this surgery should have fully matured facial features and be no younger than 16 years. These factors will be addressed during your consultation, especially for adolescents.
What to expect during RHINOPLASTY
Nose surgery is performed with the patient under general anesthesia and is, in most cases, an outpatient procedure. Rhinoplasty offers different surgical techniques, depending on your aesthetic goals and concerns. Dr. Katzen performs cosmetic nose surgery using either an open or closed (endonasal) approach. The goal during the procedure is to decrease or eliminate excess bone, cartilage, and tissue, or to add cartilage for reconstruction. The nose is repositioned while the skin is draped over the newly structured framework. Sutures are positioned either inside the nose or within the natural external crease.

About UsHow long is recovery after RHINOPLASTY?
Upon completion of your cosmetic nose surgery, you will rest comfortably in the recovery suite and then be released to heal at home. The nose and the surrounding area will be swollen, bruised, and sore for the first few days. In most cases, some discoloration underneath the eyes will also be present. Using cold compresses and inflammatory medications can help with these effects. Your initial post-op follow-up appointment with Dr. Katzen will take place within a couple of days following surgery to check your healing process. It takes about 2 – 4 weeks to fully recover following rhinoplasty. During this crucial time, strenuous activity should be avoided.

Rhinoplasty FAQs
Will my insurance cover functional nose surgery?
While rhinoplasty to improve your appearance is not covered by insurance, nose reshaping surgery to improve your breathing may be covered by insurance. If you are considering using your insurance, please tell Dr. Katzen during your consultation. Our office will help you submit the needed paperwork and information so your provider can process your claim.
Are there nonsurgical options to change my nose?
To smooth lumps and bumps on your nose, a wrinkle filler (like Juvéderm) may be an option. An injectable filler can temporarily correct minor imperfections on your nose, which can help you in your decision to proceed with rhinoplasty. Nose surgery is better for long-lasting results, larger changes, and to improve the internal structure for better function. During your consultation, Dr. Katzen will let you know if you may be a candidate for nonsurgical nose reshaping.
What about ethnic rhinoplasty?
Ethnic rhinoplasty focuses on improving the nose while still maintaining your cultural identity. This may be a consideration if you are Asian, African-American, or Middle Eastern. During your consultation with Dr. Katzen, you can discuss what you like about your nose and what you would like to change. This will allow him to customize your treatment plan so you get your best results.
Can I combine nose surgery with other facial surgeries?
Many patients consider combining nose surgery with another procedure, like chin or cheek augmentation. Combining surgeries for a dramatic result can be discussed during your consultation with Dr. Katzen. Once he has fully understood your goals, he can help you decide which procedures should be in your treatment plan. Nose reshaping surgery can help your whole face look more balanced so you should wait to see your results before considering another procedure.
How does the surgeon determine the ideal nose shape for a patient?
The ideal nose shape is determined through a combination of factors, including the patient’s facial proportions, aesthetic goals, and the natural structure of the nose. During the consultation, the surgeon conducts a thorough facial analysis and discusses the patient's expectations to ensure the nose complements the other facial features. Advanced imaging techniques may also be used to provide a visual representation of the potential outcome, allowing both the patient and surgeon to agree on a harmonious and realistic goal
Can rhinoplasty correct breathing problems caused by a deviated septum?
Yes, rhinoplasty can address breathing issues caused by a deviated septum, which is often done through a procedure called septoplasty, typically performed in conjunction with cosmetic rhinoplasty. This dual approach not only enhances the nose's appearance but also improves airflow by straightening the septum. Correcting the septum can alleviate symptoms like chronic nasal congestion, sinus infections, and snoring, leading to a significant improvement in the patient’s quality of life.
