"Dr. Kolker was my first and only consultation. Although I had intentions of meeting with other surgeons, from the moment I walked out of his office, I knew he would be my surgeon. The staff is not like any other doctor's staff I have encountered."

A Rhinoplasty, or "nose job", is aesthetic plastic surgery of the nose that can address all facets of nasal form and function.
Skilled in all nuances and techniques in the art and science of nose surgery, board-certified NYC plastic surgeon, Adam R. Kolker, M.D., brings tremendous experience, meticulous attention to detail, technical finesse, and natural artistry to achieve the most exquisite results.
The best rhinoplasty is one that is tailored to your personal anatomic features, and more importantly to your unique desires. The changes with a nose surgery can range from subtle refinements to more dramatic, stunning enhancements, depending upon your unique goals. Above all, rhinoplasty results should be natural and beautiful, and should never look like a "nose job."
After an in-depth discussion of your surgical desires and a comprehensive nasal and facial examination as part of your consultation for a Rhinoplasty New York City plastic surgeon, Dr. Kolker will discuss the best options suited to your particular physical requirements and your unique desires. Based on your goals, a treatment plan that achieves the subtle or dramatic results you desire will be devised. The innate proportion of your nose, in keeping with facial harmony, and maintaining balance with all facial features, supersede the mere removal of a prominent dorsal hump (bump on the bridge of the nose). While the latter is indeed important, it is the true respect for what makes a nose and face beautiful that Dr. Kolker brings to every individual.
Dr. Kolker is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, an active member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and a member of the American Society of Maxillofacial Surgeons, a member of the New York Regional Society of Plastic Surgeons, and a member of the Northeastern Society of Plastic Surgeons.
The Rhinoplasty approach must be precisely personalized for every nuance of shape, size and proportion, and for every aspect of individual desire. Just as every person's physical attributes and desires are different, so too is every surgeon different. The plastic surgeon you choose is of utmost importance. What distinguishes the care Dr. Kolker and his team provide is comprehensive:
From your first visit, through the perioperative process, and throughout the entirety of your recovery and follow-up, you will experience the thoroughness, attention to detail, and warmth with which Dr. Kolker and his team welcome and care for you. They strive to deliver only the best Rhinoplasty NYC can offer.
"One of the most important goals of a rhinoplasty is that it should improve facial harmony and beauty. Whether the refinements you desire are subtle or more dramatic, the best nose job is one that never looks 'done'. Beautiful, natural, and proportional are the ultimate objectives. The improvements in appearance and self-confidence can be truly remarkable."

During your initial consultation for a Rhinoplasty New York City plastic surgeon Dr. Kolker will perform an examination of the nose and face. This is also an opportunity for you to relate the specific issues with your nose and appearance that you would like to address, and your desires for correction.
Dr. Kolker will then begin to formulate the plan to give you the rhinoplasty results you desire. Aided by digital photography and (Mirror) imaging software, Dr. Kolker will help you to precisely articulate and define the appearance you are seeking.
An appreciation of the finest details of your concerns you about your nose is crucial, and Dr. Kolker will spend considerable time coming to understand the intricacies of your anatomy and goals, and in formulating the best NYC Rhinoplasty treatment plan for your specific needs.
There are two primary rhinoplasty technical approaches: Open Rhinoplasty, and Closed Rhinoplasty. Both place incisions within the internal nostril region, and the open rhinoplasty approach adds an inconspicuous incision (a few millimeters) on the undersurface of the columella (between the nostrils). The most appropriate rhinoplasty incisions will be selected based on the specific structural modifications required.
A prominent nasal hump can be reduced and smoothed, a wide nose can be narrowed, a full nasal tip can be refined, and a drooping nasal tip can be elevated to a more attractive, natural position, among other enhancements. The sum is greater than the individual maneuvers; creating soft, elegant lines, and beautiful, natural proportion is the goal.
Creating or maintaining a functional "foundation" is indeed paramount, and all maneuvers to maintain or improve breathing will be undertaken. Certain rhinoplasty techniques, for example, employ the use of spreader grafts that can be used to improve both the appearance and the function of the nose. Is there a minimally invasive rhinoplasty? For the vast majority of candidates for rhinoplasty, the maneuvers described will most often be required. There is, however, a role in certain circumstances for injectable fillers, such as Juvederm or Restylane, for enhancing nasal aesthetics.
