Rhinoplasty Before and After Results

This patient’s rhinoplasty addressed a hanging nasal tip and a wide bump along the bridge. The result is a smoother profile and more refined tip that blends naturally with her facial features while maintaining balance from every angle.

In this video, Dr. David A. Sherris explains why successful rhinoplasty must address both the appearance of the nose and the way it functions. He discusses how correcting structural breathing issues alongside cosmetic concerns helps protect long-term results and avoid future complications. His perspective reflects decades of experience performing and teaching rhinoplasty around the world.

“My experience with Dr. Sherris was amazing. He’s a very nice guy, and the process was very straight forward. I had a rhinoplasty in March and my healing process was very easy and the results look better than i could’ve imagined.” — Kaitlyn, 5-Star Review

How Dr. Sherris 
Approaches Rhinoplasty

Addressing Appearance and Breathing Together

Hear From a 
New York Patient

This patient received a nose job from Dr. David Sherris, feeling very comfortable and confident after his consultation. Our rhinoplasty surgeon will not agree to any surgery without thoroughly going over your aesthetic options and expectations with you. This personalized aspect of Dr. Sherris' treatment is how he has gained a strong and loyal following across Buffalo, NY, the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Candidates for Rhinoplasty

Not everyone will be eligible for plastic surgery. Dr. Sherris will ensure that each of his New York patients are confident in their desire for nose surgery and that they meet the following qualifications:

Complete Facial Growth

Patients for rhinoplasty need to wait until they are done growing before undergoing a nose job. Patients typically finish growing in their mid-to-late teens. Our rhinoplasty surgeon will ensure you've finished growing before approving you for a nose job.

Non-Smoker

Smoking can interfere with your healing process post-surgery. Patients should quit smoking before undergoing nose surgery. Excessive alcohol consumption should also be limited to ensure a successful surgery and healing process.

Rhinoplasty Evaluation

Dr. Sherris will perform a full evaluation for not only cosmetic changes but will also examine the internal breathing structure. Many times rhinoplasty is combined with a septoplasty or valve surgery to address underlying breathing and structural issues. A successful nose breathes as well as it looks!

Realistic Expectations

At your consultation computer imaging will help show you the aesthetic changes that can be made. Dr. Sherris strives to meet the aesthetic goals of every patient but sometimes certain changes are not possible, as they can compromise structural breathing. It's important that goals meet realistic expectations. Understanding your unique possibilities is very important for a successful outcome.

“Incredible team. Extremely experienced. I got a rhinoplasty and septoplasty, both turned out phenomenal. Not only can I breathe better but my nose is straighter and smaller as per my request. I wanted a very natural look which was achieved 10 times over.” — Taylor, 5-Star Review

Consultation

During your initial consultation at our Buffalo practice, Dr. Sherris will listen to your rhinoplasty goals and decide which rhinoplasty method is best suited for you. Our surgeon can provide you with a custom quote once he's determined his strategy for your unique procedure.

Anesthesia

Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia to protect the airway during surgery. General anesthesia will require the patient to have a ride home after their rhinoplasty procedure.

Procedure

Dr. Sherris will operate using an open rhinoplasty method depending on the concerns that need to be addressed with your rhinoplasty. You will be in a relaxed and pain-free state during the procedure, and a splint will be placed following surgery.

Aftercare

Follow the aftercare directions that Dr. Sherris provides following your surgery. Aftercare may include elevating your head, caring for your splint, taking prescription medication, and taking time off work. Most patients can return to work in one week after surgery. Patients should avoid strenuous activity for two weeks post surgery.
