Nasal Reconstruction Surgery

The nose is one of the most prominent, identifying features of the face — and one of the most functionally important. When it’s damaged by trauma or cancer, restoring it means addressing both how it looks and how it works, because a well-contoured nose is little help if breathing is impaired. Dr. Erez Dayan performs nasal reconstruction surgery to restore both form and function at Avance Plastic Surgery Institute in Reno/Tahoe, NV.

Few facial reconstructions demand the dual mastery the nose requires — rebuilding a natural-looking exterior while preserving or restoring the airway beneath it — and that is exactly where Dr. Erez Dayan excels. His reconstructive command spans structural cartilage grafting, nasal valve repair, and reshaping the nasal framework, refined through the Harvard Plastic Surgery Program, where he served as Chief Resident at Massachusetts General Hospital, and an elite aesthetic fellowship at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute, where he was one of only two surgeons selected. A board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon and Medical Director of Avance Plastic Surgery Institute, Dr. Dayan has published and presented his work more than 150 times worldwide. Nasal reconstruction is one of his facial reconstructive surgery procedures.

Causes of Nasal Deformities and Trauma

Nasal deformities and trauma can arise from many sources, including accidents, cancer, previous surgery, or congenital malformation. In every case, reconstruction must address both the cosmetic and the functional aspects of the nose. Trauma can collapse the nasal passages or valves, which must be repaired for the patient to breathe well, while cancer removal may leave defects that range from minor to extensive. Dr. Dayan uses the most advanced surgical techniques to address the particular issues present in each patient — from minor cosmetic repairs after a small cancer removal to more extensive work involving cartilage grafting and reshaping the nasal structure.

“The nose has to look right and breathe right — one without the other isn’t a success. Reconstruction is really structural work, rebuilding the framework so the result is both natural-looking and fully functional.” — Dr. Erez Dayan

Nose Trauma Repair Surgery in Reno/Tahoe

As with any reconstructive procedure, your nose trauma repair is tailored to your specific needs, and Dr. Dayan has the training and experience to repair all types of nasal trauma with natural-looking, functional results. Depending on the level of trauma, the surgery can last from one to three hours under general anesthesia, and most patients return home the same day. Dr. Dayan uses advanced techniques that facilitate quick healing, and you’ll go home with pain medication and precise aftercare instructions, along with personal follow-up. Swelling can last from one to four weeks depending on the extent of repair, with complete results typically visible in five to six weeks as healing finishes.

Hands down the most qualified, honest and knowledgeable plastic surgeon in Northern Nevada. Dr. Dayan and his staff are truly committed to offering leading edge technology, quality and professionalism to each and every treatment ranging from to simple non invasive injections to complicated procedures. What he and his team have to offer always seems too good to be true, but they always over exceed expectations and are incredibly budget conscientious. The Reno-Tahoe area is incredibly fortunate to welcome such a skilled and qualified aesthetic professional into the area!

Dr. Dayan is the surgeon clients should interview with and choose for their procedures. I am always very cautious when deciding important life decisions and I can say without a doubt that I would go through my surgeries again with Dr. Dayan. Every appointment has been professional, courteous, informative, and truthful. I never felt rushed. I also appreciate knowing my privacy is maintained. My fear of pain is very respected, and his demeanor eases it quite a bit. I made my decision to trust Dr. Dayan because of his extensive education, vast experience, and my first-hand witness of his character. These factors have allowed me to look forward to all of my appointments.

I had three consultations and didn't make any decisions lightly, but Dr. Dayan blew the competition out of the water. From the moment I met him during my consultation, he was honest and open while also personable. He also insisted on putting me in touch with previous patients before I made my decision so that I could have a better understanding of the process and recovery as a whole. I ultimately picked him because I knew he would do a good job but also because I felt at ease with him. The day of surgery, I was very nervous and he was comforting while efficient with his time. He was also completely honest with me during my recovery and called either myself or my husband often to make sure I was doing well, but also to make sure my husband understood the process completely. He also makes himself so available for any little questions or concerns I've had, making me feel secure in knowing he's only a phone call or a text away. Although I am not yet completely healed (only 3 weeks post-op) I already feel so confident in the work that has been done. He has helped me to transform something that had me so insecure for such a long time into a body I feel comfortable in. I cannot wait for the final results! I won't hesitate to return to Dr. Dayan for anything else I need done. Between him and his office staff (Alli) I feel like more of a member of the Avance family rather than a patient!

I highly encourage anyone who is considering plastic/reconstruction surgery to schedule a consultation with Dr. Dayan. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and outcome from my breast augmentation. At my consultations, not only did I get my questions thoroughly answered, but I was treated with such genuine kindness and patience. Dr. Dayan is professional, highly knowledgeable, honest and has a certain way of connecting with others. For these reasons, I trusted him and felt supported throughout my whole breast augmentation experience from pre- to post-surgery care. All around, I felt safe and informed about this big decision/investment which is all I could ever ask for. I recovered so much easier than I expected, and my breasts are looking perfect and natural! Dr. Dayan definitely listened to what I wanted and followed through. Lastly, I want to mention how sweet and supportive his team is over at Avance! I am very appreciative of their service.

My results after a "noninvasive" procedure are amazing. The cutting-edge techniques and noninvasive technology that Dr. Dayan incorporates into his procedures, as well as being a gifted and talented surgeon and individual, all contribute to his many accomplishments. However, I personally am impressed with his abilities to listen, communicate, and create beautiful results. I highly recommend a consultation with Dr. Dayan before making a final decision on any kind of procedure. Just another satisfied patient!

I had a perfect experience at Avance. Dr. Dayan was quick, professional, and checked in with me regularly to make sure I was comfortable during the short procedure I needed done. His demeanor was calming and I was able to put full trust in his abilities from start to finish. Erez really knows his stuff, and it's amazing he's here in Reno when he could clearly be somewhere much bigger if he wanted. I definitely won't hesitate to book again if needed.

Absolutely an amazing experience! Where to start? When I first thought of getting a mommy makeover my expectations were not that high because I didn’t ever think I could look the way I wanted to. I always just hoped it would be an improvement and I would be happy with that. Then I met Dr. Dayan. From the first consultation he made me realize that he could give me beautiful results that I didn’t know were possible. He was so kind and confident and I knew from that moment that he was going to be my surgeon. I booked my surgery (a breast augmentation with implants and a tummy tuck with lipo) that day and it was the best choice I have ever made. Before my procedure he was very thorough and explained step by step what he was going to do which made me feel so comfortable. I actually wasn’t nervous at all. I was so excited! I am now 1 month post op and my results are above and beyond what I could have ever dreamed my body could look like after a mommy makeover. Dr. Dayan did an exceptional job. I am not completely healed and I already am so pleased. There are no words that can do justice to how amazing it is to put trust in someone with my body and wake up with results that are better than I could have ever imagined. He truly is skilled in his profession and has the eye for what is best for your body to give you the best results. He followed up with me several times post op to see how I was feeling. If I had any concerns or questions he responded to them quickly and personally which made me feel confident that everything was going well! His care is exceptional from beginning to end. He has an amazing staff as well. His Patient coordinator Ali is so sweet and helpful. She is amazing with communication as well as helping you with financial options and scheduling. You won’t be disappointed working with Dr. Dayan and Ali!
