Rhinoplasty
When your nose is in proportion with the rest of your facial features, it blends naturally and gives you a pleasing appearance. If you feel dissatisfied with your nose or have disfigured it through injury, cosmetic nose surgery (rhinoplasty) can help. Dr. Carl Lentz's rhinoplasty patients from Daytona Beach and other Central Florida communities have gained not only a new nose, but also renewed confidence in their appearance.
Dr. Lentz is board certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery, and he's been practicing plastic surgery for more than 30 years. With those credentials, you can feel confident that you have the skill of a highly trained and experienced plastic surgeon to help you realize your aesthetic goals. Dr. Lentz and his staff care about treating you like a person, not a procedure. They believe that attentive, compassionate listening is essential for positive outcomes.

Benefits to You
Rhinoplasty, performed for men and women of all ages, can profoundly transform your facial appearance or achieve a more subtle enhancement. Although people have different motivations for seeking rhinoplasty, most do so to:
- Re-sculpt the shape, size, width, or angle of the nose
- Refine nostril shape, size, or position
- Repair damage or a birth defect
- Improve or restore breathing
Rhinoplasty can be performed alone or with a face lift or other rejuvenating procedure. Your consultation will begin with an explanation of what you would like to improve. Dr. Lentz will then carefully analyze your facial proportions so he can create realistic options that will deliver the best possible results for you.
What to Expect
Dr. Lentz performs rhinoplasty as an outpatient surgery in an AAAASF-certified operating room. He uses local or general anesthesia so you remain comfortable throughout the surgery. Rhinoplasty takes about 1 to 2 hours, but can vary depending on the procedure. Dr. Lentz makes every effort to conceal or minimize scarring, including creating most incisions inside the nose when possible.
Recovery time varies considerably among patients. However, you can expect to return to work approximately 1 week after surgery and resume your regular activities, including exercise, within 3 weeks. Any bruising or swelling will fade gradually, and within a few weeks you will begin enjoying your new look.
Your Improved Look
Your rhinoplasty results will be visible soon after surgery, with subtle changes continuing for up to a year. If you're like most patients who decide to have nose surgery, your newly enhanced appearance will help you feel satisfied and self-confident.
