Our latest story of a patient traveling from outside of New Jersey is about a young woman who wanted an Alarplasty. Tanya was excited to make a quick day trip from her home in Oakland, CA to get the surgery done by Dr. Janjua here in Bedminster, NJ. She researched Alarplasty online and came across Dr. Janjua’s YouTube channel. After reviewing several videos on the channel, she knew Dr. J was the plastic surgeon for her. She flew in early one day, had the procedure done, and flew back the same day. Her photo above with Dr. Janjua was taken just before she left for the airport. As you can tell by her smile, she was very happy with the experience and the result.

What brought Christopher from London, England to Bedminster, New Jersey? Christopher is a 41-year-old African-American male who was searching the internet and came across African-American rhinoplasty blogs on various websites. During his search, he discovered our practice in Bedminster, NJ. He contacted our office and set up a Skype consultation. He told me that he was tired of getting looks from people because of his wide flaring nostrils. After speaking on Skype, he felt very comfortable and I told to come have his surgery done in New Jersey. My office staff helped him with his travel plans and lodging arrangements, which they do on a regular basis for out-of-state patients. Christopher arrived and had the rhinoplasty done without any issues in a pain-free and comfortable atmosphere. He was amazed by the ease of the procedure.

That can be corrected using cartilaginous grafts from the nasal septum, ear cartilage, or rib. The nose can be widened to a great degree, but the more important question is if it is affecting breathing or not. In case…
