    Nose reconstruction surgery can be performed to restore both form and function after an injury, trauma, or illness. The procedure can correct cosmetic concerns such as asymmetry and depressions while simultaneously improving breathing and sinus issues.

    As a sought-after double board-certified surgeon, Dr. Fechner has the skill, artistry, and expertise to deliver a balanced, personalized outcome that fulfills your goals and elevates your overall quality of life. He goes above and beyond to provide his nose reconstruction patients with increased self-confidence and a positive self-image that is aligned with their inner vision for their appearance.

    How Is Nose Reconstruction Performed?

    Dr. Fechner has multiple state-of-the-art techniques to choose from, and he will select the best approach for your individual anatomy, goals, and aesthetic sensibilities. Most reconstruction surgeries are performed under general anesthesia, but in certain cases, IV sedation may be an option.

    Dr. Fechner may use skin taken from another area to conceal nasal defects (skin grafting.) He may also create tissue flaps that can help achieve a more natural nasal appearance. Bone and cartilage grafting are often performed to bolster structural support and create a secure scaffolding for the nose. Dr. Fechner performs all of these techniques with ease and acumen, providing a superior outcome along with a seamless, stress-free patient experience.

    What are the Benefits?

    • Corrects breathing issues
    • Restores nasal function and comfort
    • Addresses cosmetic imperfections
    • Elevates quality of life
    • Enhances self-confidence
    • Long-lasting outcome
    • Natural-looking results

    Who Is A Good Candidate For Nasal Reconstruction Surgery?

    Reconstructive surgery can be performed for healthy, non-smoking patients who are free from any uncontrolled medical concerns and who are realistic in their expectations. Nose reconstruction can be performed to address any of the following:

    • Skin cancer — Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma can form on the nose requiring excision, after which nose reconstruction can help correct remaining defects

    • Trauma — Injuries related to sports or accidents can compromise the look and function of the nose. Nose reconstruction helps irrigate the wounds and seal lacerations. The nasal bridge, tip, and nostrils are sculpted and refined.

    • Congenital defects — Patients born with nasal deformities can benefit from nose reconstruction, as can those suffering from nasal dermoid cysts.

    What Can I Expect From Recovery?

    The type of techniques used and the extent of the work performed will determine the length of your recovery. For the first few weeks, patients can expect mild swelling, bruising, tenderness, and bleeding to occur. Dr. Fechner will provide prescription pain medications along with antibiotics. Sutures, if not dissolvable, are removed after one week, along with any splints that were placed.

    For some patients, reconstruction will be staged and may require multiple appointments, with breathing difficulties occurring between treatments. For all patients, scarring will slowly heal over time and should not be judged as final until one year post-op. Around 3 months after their procedure, patients can begin considering scar revision.

    What Are The Risks And Complications Of Nose Reconstruction?

    Dr. Fechner’s impeccable techniques and conservative approach help to greatly minimize the risk of complications. However, some degree of risk is always present. These risks may include bleeding, infection, poor scarring, poor cosmetic outcome, breathing problems, asymmetry, nasal valve collapse, and others. Dr. Fechner will go over the risks and benefits of nose reconstruction in more detail during your private consultation.

    How Much Does Nose Reconstruction Cost?

    It is common for insurance companies to cover reconstructive procedures that help the patient to breathe better and that relieve discomfort and pain. We will provide you with a personalized quote for services at the time of your initial consultation.

    Why choose Dr. Fechner?

    Dr. Fechner is a double board-certified Facial Plastic Surgeon who is committed to the highest standards of safety, integrity, and excellence. His artistic vision guides his reconstructive endeavors, allowing him to deliver elegant, natural, and personalized results that elevate his patients’ quality of life and well-being.

    WHAT ARE WE DOING TO KEEP YOU AND OUR STAFF SAFE?

    As a fully accredited surgical facility, Fechner MD has always observed the highest level of safety and sanitation. In fact, as a surgeon, Dr. Fechner is an expert in infection control.

    WHEN WILL FECHNER MD PLASTIC SURGERY & MEDICAL SPA OPEN?

    Fechner MD will adhere to all local, state, and government mandates. We expect to cautiously resume medical spa and injectable treatments during Phase 2 of the Massachusetts phased reopening. We are awaiting a definitive date from Governor Baker. Cosmetic surgery is expected to resume during Phase 3 of Governor Baker’s plan. We ask for your patience and understanding as our staff is working diligently to reschedule all surgeries and procedures affected by our closure. Please understand that in order to open and adhere to Massachusetts guidelines, we will need to limit the number of staff and patients we have in our building and extend the time between patient appointments in order to sanitize rooms. This means we will have fewer available openings for procedures. In order to maximize our provider appointments, we will continue to hold consultations virtually rather than in person, with a few exceptions (body contouring, Instalift, vein treatments).
