Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
Rhinoplasty is surgery to change the appearance of the nose while maintaining or improving how it breathes. The outer shape of the nose depends on the cartilage and bone underneath, so a careful plan for those structures is what allows the nose to sit in better harmony with the rest of the face. The goal is not a “new” face, but a nose that looks like it belongs to yours.
There are two main approaches. In an external (open) rhinoplasty, a tiny incision under the nasal tip lets the surgeon lift the skin and see the structure directly. In an endonasal (closed) rhinoplasty, the work is done through incisions inside the nose.
My approach to rhinoplasty (Dr. Janjua): “I like to use a closed approach (Endonasal) for most primary rhinoplasties. I focus on correct diagnosis, minimal dissection of tissues and precise placement of grafts.” In planning, shape and breathing are considered together, because the nose has to work well, not just look different.
We also see patients who have had nose surgery elsewhere and want a careful second opinion. Revision rhinoplasty is more complex because of scar tissue, and Dr. Janjua will talk through what is realistic for your situation. If nostril width is your main concern, ask about alarplasty, a nostril-narrowing procedure that is a particular focus of our practice.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Heavy upper lids or fullness under the eyes can make you look more tired than you feel. Blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat, or repositions fat, to open up the eyes and give a more rested look.
For the upper eyelids, the incision is placed along the natural skin crease, where it is well hidden. The lower eyelids can often be treated through a tiny skin incision. When there is extra fat but the skin tone is good, the fat can be removed through an incision on the inside of the eyelid, which avoids a visible scar on the skin. Lower-lid skin quality can also be improved with laser treatment or a chemical peel.
My approach to blepharoplasty (Dr. Janjua): “I like to be conservative with the amount of skin removal and fat removal.” The aim of that conservative approach is a natural-looking improvement that does not draw attention to the eyes.
Dr. Janjua received the Storz national award for designing an instrument used to correct droopy eyelids. If you have had eyelid surgery before and are unhappy with the result, we also offer revision eyelid surgery.

How far is your office from Chester and Mendham?

What is the easiest route from Bernardsville or Basking Ridge?
From Bernardsville, Route 202 South through Far Hills brings you into Bedminster in about 10–15 minutes. From Basking Ridge, most people take I-287 South to Exit 22, then Route 206 North to Lamington Road, which usually takes 15–20 minutes. Full directions are on our Location & Directions page.
Is the first consultation free?
Yes. Dr. Janjua offers a complimentary initial consultation. Call or text (908) 470-2600 to schedule.
Can rhinoplasty improve breathing as well as appearance?
Rhinoplasty is designed to change the appearance of the nose while maintaining or improving breathing function. If you have breathing concerns, Dr. Janjua will evaluate the inside of the nose as well as its shape. Some patients also need a septoplasty, which he can discuss with you at your consultation.
Where are the incisions for eyelid surgery?
For the upper eyelids, the incision follows the natural crease of the lid. For the lower eyelids, it is either a tiny skin incision or, when only fat needs to be addressed, an incision on the inside of the eyelid with no external skin scar. Dr. Janjua will explain which approach suits your eyelids.
I had nose or eyelid surgery elsewhere. Can Dr. Janjua help?
We see patients for revision rhinoplasty and revision eyelid surgery. Revision surgery is more challenging because of scar tissue, so Dr. Janjua weighs the risks and benefits carefully and will tell you honestly what he thinks can be improved.
Can I see before-and-after photos?
Yes. Our nose and eyelid galleries show results from patients who agreed to share their photos. Individual results vary, and photos are not a guarantee of outcome.
