What Is A Rhinoplasty?
Cosmetic surgery of the nose, called Rhinoplasty, is an operation designed to improve the appearance of the nose. The goal should be to change the nose & put it in better balance with your other facial features.
Dr. Sargent offers 30+ years of experience in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery to Chattanooga, TN, and has his own in-office operative suite.
He specializes in Closed Rhinoplasties which means there are no external scars. The bones and cartilage are reshaped through incisions inside your nose.
Who Is A Candidate For Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)?
Patients should be healthy, completed facial growth (15 or older), and be realistic about their goals and expectations.
Common problems that can be addressed with Rhinoplasty:
- The nose is too large for your face
- The nose is too wide
- Nasal asymmetry
- Nostrils are too large or too wide
- Visible hump or depression on nasal bridge or profile
- The nasal tip is bulbous or too large, drops or hooked
Rhinoplasty Recovery
Most patients after Rhinoplasty have only mild discomfort.
- The nasal splint is worn for 7-10 days.
- Swelling will start to resolve in 7-14 days but takes months for all the swelling to resolve.
- Most patients return to work or school after the splint is removed.
- Strenuous activity and prolonged pressure from glasses are avoided for 4-6 weeks.

Societies
Honors
Johns Hopkins Society of Scholars
To honor the significant accomplishments of men and women who spent part of their careers at Johns Hopkins, the Society of Scholars was created by the board of trustees in May 1967 on the recommendation of former president Milton S. Eisenhower.
The society–the first of its kind in the nation–inducts former postdoctoral fellows and former junior or visiting faculty at Johns Hopkins who have gained marked distinction in their fields of physical, biological, medical, social, or engineering sciences or in the humanities and for whom at least five years have elapsed since their last Hopkins affiliation.
The Committee of the Johns Hopkins Society of Scholars, whose members are equally distributed among the academic divisions, elects the scholars from the candidates nominated by the academic divisions that have programs for postdoctoral fellows. There are currently 430 members in the Johns Hopkins Society of Scholars.
