Meet Our TeamThe nose plays a significant role in determining overall facial harmony and is the focal point of the face. As a result, rhinoplasty is one of the most common procedures performed at Gilpin Facial Plastics. Nasal surgery, also called a “nose job,” is a procedure designed to improve the shape, size, and contour of the nose.
This procedure helps create a balanced-looking nose by carefully correcting aesthetic problems that rhinoplasty patients dislike due to their genetics. Rhinoplasty can also reverse cosmetic issues caused by injuries, and it can even correct certain breathing problems and other challenges associated with the nasal passage.
Through surgical precision and artistic insight, Dr. David Gilpin has helped many men and women in Nashville feel more comfortable with the appearance of their nose. Discover how nose reshaping surgery can help refine your profile and create a more harmonious balance with your facial features.

YOUR CONSULTATION FOR RHINOPLASTY IN NASHVILLE
The decision to undergo cosmetic surgery is often one that is made after careful consideration. And being trusted with the most focal feature of your face—the nose—is a responsibility that Dr. Gilpin feels honored to have. For this reason, he facilitates friendly, welcoming consultations that will allow you to feel comfortable fully explaining your reasons for seeking nose surgery. Using this information, he can help you achieve results that closely match your cosmetic goals and preferences.
He will also help you explore all of the cosmetic procedures available that can help you get the overall look you’re seeking. For example, some patients want to improve the look of their nose but don’t want to necessarily undergo surgery. In these cases, a non-surgical cosmetic procedure sometimes referred to as “liquid rhinoplasty” might be an option. Instead of surgically altering the nose, this procedure involves the use of fillers to provide a more aesthetically pleasing contour to the nose and to decrease the appearance of dorsal bumps.
Additionally, many men and women in Nashville also want a more refreshed appearance to go along with their newly shaped nose, and non-invasive treatments like injectables or chemical peels offer exceptional rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
Whether you’re only seeking a nose job or you’re interested in other procedures that may complement the effects of nasal surgery, Dr. Gilpin will provide you with honest, informative advice so that you can make the decision that’s best for you.

RHINOPLASTY NASHVILLE: EXPLORE YOUR OPTIONS
OPEN RHINOPLASTY VS. CLOSED RHINOPLASTY
There are different surgical techniques available depending on the preference of the surgeon, but as an expert in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Gilpin finds that open rhinoplasty is a superior method. During his training, he was mentored by one of the pioneers of this technique and has a vast amount of experience with it. Using this method, Dr. Gilpin can expertly shape the tip of the nose and repair more extensive issues inside of the nose. Likewise, he can do more work on the dorsal bump area, resulting in a straighter nose.
Some patients are initially drawn to closed rhinoplasty because incisions are only made inside of the nostrils, and because of the common belief that it results in less swelling. However, open rhinoplasty offers much greater precision and the ability to create a more aesthetically pleasing nasal shape in ways that are simply not possible with closed rhinoplasty. Additionally, Dr. Gilpin’s refined techniques and expertise result in minimal discomfort during nose surgery recovery.
NON-SURGICAL RHINOPLASTY
Some men and women in Nashville would prefer to avoid the surgical route, but they still want to improve the appearance of their nose. For these patients, non-surgical nose reshaping may be a more suitable option.
With this procedure, fillers are used to correct minor irregularities on the nose. Specifically, ideal contours are created by strategically filling in areas. Filler can also minimize the appearance of dorsal bumps by filling the surrounding area so that a more even surface is produced. The tip of the nose can also be enhanced.
Because fillers are not permanent, a non-surgical nose job also allows patients the freedom to either maintain their new look or let the results fade within six to nine months.

Meet The DoctorHOW OPEN RHINOPLASTY IS PERFORMED
Before your rhinoplasty procedure, you will be put under general anesthesia. Your incision will be made across the columella, which is the small strip of tissue under the nostrils. Because the incision is made in an area that is mostly hidden, any resulting scar will be minimal. In fact, the incision typically is imperceptible once it is fully healed and is difficult to find even if you know where to look!
After the incision is made, the cartilage and nasal bones that give the nose its shape are recontoured according to your anatomy and cosmetic goals. Once the final look is achieved, the incision will be closed with very fine sutures, and a nasal splint will be placed over the bridge of the nose for protection and support. Dr. Gilpin does not use nasal packing after rhinoplasty procedures.
