What is a Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, also referred to as a nose job, is both a cosmetic and medically necessary surgical procedure designed to correct either functional or aesthetic issues with the nose, or both. Even the subtlest changes to your nose can have a significant impact on the overall appearance of your face. When performed by Dr. Nick Slenkovich in Denver, a rhinoplasty can balance facial features, improve the shape and/or size of the nose, and bring a far more appealing appearance of your entire face.

Why is Rhinoplasty Performed?
Your nose is the focal point of your face, and the feature which is most responsible for creating harmony with the rest of your features.
If you feel that the size or shape of your nose draws unwanted attention, it can make you feel self-conscious. For others, the nose may not function the in a way that allows unencumbered breathing. Rhinoplasty can:
- Change the size or shape of your nose
- Correct breathing problems
- Straighten the bridge of the nose
- Subtly alter the tip
- Change the size of the nostrils
- Repair the nose after traumatic injury
- Create facial balance
- Improve your self-esteem
In the skilled hands of Dr. Slenkovich, the results of rhinoplasty are beautiful and natural-looking.
Can Nose ReshapingCorrect Issues with Breathing?
Yes! The term rhinoplasty or a "nose job" commonly infers that this procedure is done for aesthetic purposes. However, the fact that is not well known about nose reshaping is that it is often done for reasons other than just aesthetic allure. If you have breathing problems that are caused by a deviated septum or facial trauma, rhinoplasty can provide relief by correcting any structural issues within your nose.
This procedure has helped many individuals suffering from the above nasal circumstances. While Dr. Slenkovich is extremely well known for his aesthetic rhinoplasty, he is also very well known for his successful revision rhinoplasty and reconstructive nose surgery, done to alleviate nasal troubles or physical disfigurement.

Rhinoplasty Procedure — Highlight Reel
What is Recovery from Rhinoplasty Like?
You should expect to have some swelling and bruising immediately following your nose job procedure, as well as mild to moderate pain and discomfort.
Dr. Slenkovich will provide you with pain medication to aid in your comfort as your body heals. Keeping your head elevated and applying ice can help to alleviate any swelling. Most of your swelling should dissipate after seven to nine days. Any splints or stitches will be removed approximately one week following your procedure. Swelling will continue to resolve itself over the course of the next twelve months.
What to expect from my consultation?
A consultation with Dr. Slenkovich is a chance for you and your rhinoplasty surgeon to get to know each other better. You can ask questions, voice your concerns and explain your initial expectations. You can also bring in photos of your ideal nose so that Dr. Slenkovich better understands your aesthetic sensibilities. The doctor will in turn perform a thorough review of your medical and surgical history; conduct a physical evaluation of your nose; and go over the benefits and risks of the procedure.
Moving forward, Dr. Slenkovich will create a personalized treatment plan for resolving your cosmetic issues. This might include refining the nasal bridge, reshaping the nasal tip, and trimming the nostrils. Changes can also be made to the internal structures of the nose to improve your breathing. Using simple, easy-to-understand language, Dr. Slenkovich will establish realistic goals and will explain how those goals can be achieved. He will reference a before and after photographic library of previously performed rhinoplasties to show you exactly how successful he has been in the past in treating a wide range of nasal concerns.
