Rhinoplasty — Open, Closed & Quick Recovery

Dr. Jacono performs open, closed, ethnic, teenage, and revision rhinoplasty, plus his proprietary Quick Recovery Rhinoplasty™ — a patented technique that avoids breaking nasal bones and minimises visible incisions for faster recovery. Digital morphing technology is used at consultation for pre-surgical planning so patients can visualise potential results. Closed approach patients typically see most swelling resolve within two to three weeks; open approach within four weeks, with a nasal cast worn during the first week.

The rhinoplasty programme at New York Center for Facial Plastic Surgery covers the full spectrum of nasal reshaping, from subtle refinements to complex structural reconstruction. Dr. Andrew Jacono's Quick Recovery Rhinoplasty™ is a patented technique engineered specifically to shorten downtime: by avoiding osteotomies (bone breaks) and keeping incisions minimal, bruising and swelling resolve significantly faster than with conventional open rhinoplasty — an important consideration for out-of-town and international patients with limited time in New York City. For patients who require structural changes to the nasal bridge or tip, open rhinoplasty via a small trans-columellar incision provides direct visualisation of the cartilage framework. Dr. Jacono uses the patient's own cartilage and bone for revision cases, avoiding synthetic implants where possible. Mini Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty uses piezoelectric instruments for precise bone reshaping without blunt-force trauma, further reducing postoperative bruising. Ethnic rhinoplasty receives particular attention: Dr. Jacono approaches each heritage-specific nose with the goal of harmonising shape while fully preserving ethnic identity. Teenage rhinoplasty is offered once facial growth is complete, generally after age 15 for girls and 17 for boys. Consultations include digital morphing to model anticipated outcomes, giving patients and surgeon a shared visual language before any surgery is planned. All procedures are performed in the clinic's AAAASF-certified Park Avenue surgical suite under local or twilight sedation. Dr. Jacono's hospital affiliations — including Lenox Hill Hospital, Manhattan Eye Ear and Throat Hospital, and New York Eye and Ear Infirmary — provide backup access to major New York City medical centres when needed.
