Jeff was hit with a baseball bat as a child making it hard to breath through his nose. Join Jeff as he undergoes a nose job procedure to repair his breathing. Dr. Nassif also performed a platysmaplasty surgery and a chin implant.

Rhinoplasty is a nose-reshaping surgery that can correct deformities or make subtle aesthetic changes for cosmetic purposes. This video explains the procedure and the various rhinoplasty techniques.

Dr. Nassif also performed platysmaplasty surgery, Dr. Nassif makes an incision under the chin to reach the neck muscle (platysma). He then manipulates these muscles (which can include repositioning or partial removal). Normally, platysmaplasty takes 2-3 hours, but in cases where the surgery is performed in conjunction with liposuction or a face-lift, the time may be longer.




Neck lift surgery can take a few weeks to heal completely. Swelling, bruising, skin tightening, pain, and tingling sensations are quite normal after platysmaplasty and are not necessarily cause for concern. Normally patients can return to work after 10-14 days, and resume exercises and normal activites after three weeks. A post-operative consultation with Dr. Nassif is also scheduled around this time.

Chin augmentation is a common procedure performed to improve the balance of your facial profile and correct a "weak" chin or receding chin due to congenital deficiency, age-related bone resorption or facial trauma. A weak chin can make the nose seem larger or make the neck appear fatty and undefined. Chin augmentation with an implant is the procedure of choice for most patients with normally functioning teeth and jaw development. A chin implant gives more projection of the chin and a better shape.

  • Are deviated septum procedures covered by insurance? Or did the patient himself have to cover these charges?

  • @dimitrovajunkie Hello,

    Depending on your insurance company, they may cover some or all of the cost associated with correcting a deviated septum. Thank you, and I hope this helps.

  • Hello dr Paul Nassif well I have a question to ask you well I have a deviated septum which I believe is the reason why my right nostril is completely blocked, which also gives my nose a cooked appearance, also I would like to remove the bump on my nose. What procedure would appropriate for me

  • @sant11207 Hello,

    Based on the issues you describe, you would benefit from a septorhinoplasty. With this procedure, your deviated septum will be fixed allowing you to breathe better. And your nasal hump will be addressed with the cosmetic portion of the rhinoplasty, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Please feel free to send any photos to my office and I would be happy to evaluate them for you. Thank you for the question.

  • @dimitrovajunkie i think it depends on if its a health issue or not, like I have sleep apnia and I had to go to the EarNose&Throat doctor and take allergy pills for a month, then I was covered when the pills didnt work to help breathing.

  • Hey dr. nassif i was just wondering have you ever done nose jobs on people that were born with cleft lip & palate?, if you have can u please put up some videos thanx :)

  • hello dr. nassif. i am thinking about getting a rhinoplasty to reduce the size of my nose(its not very big but it bothers me and people sometimes tease me) and to bring the tip a little closer to my face. i was wondering if this is a complicated surgery and if you know any good rhinoplasty surgeons you can recommend in the Atlanta area. thank you!

  • @mcallist1 Hello,

    Unfortunately I do not know of any surgeons I can recommend in Ireland. Please feel free to come see me anytime for a consult. You may also send any photos to my office and I would be happy to evaluate them for you. Thank you, and best of luck.

    Dr. Nassif

  • @drpaulnassif Hi Dr Nassif, that was a seriously good job done there. I'm in a similar boat. I have had my nose broken twice from impact from the left. I live in Ireland and I'm not sure but I feel that perhaps the surgeons here are not quite at the same level as in the states when it comes to dealing with issues like this, especially combining functionality with aesthetics. I was wondering if you could please recommend a surgeon in Ireland that you would regard highly? Thank you very much, T
