RHINOPLASTY
Enhance Your Nose for Improved Function and Aesthetics
What is a Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, or a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure designed to refine the shape, size, and function of your nose. It addresses cosmetic concerns like humps, wide nostrils, or a drooping tip, as well as functional issues such as breathing difficulties from structural irregularities or injuries. This personalized procedure helps you achieve both improved nasal function and enhanced facial harmony, tailored to your unique goals.
How Rhinoplasty
Works
Rhinoplasty is a personalized procedure that reshapes the bone, cartilage, and skin of your nose:
- Detailed Consultation: We discuss your goals and assess your facial structure.
- Comfortable Anesthesia: General or local anesthesia with sedation is used for your comfort.
- Incisions:
- Closed Rhinoplasty: Incisions are made inside the nose for minimal scarring.
- Open Rhinoplasty: A small incision is made across the columella for better access.
- Reshaping: Cartilage and bone are removed, reshaped, or added to achieve the desired structure. Grafts may be used for support.
- Functional Corrections: Deviated septum or breathing issues can be addressed.
- Careful Closure: Incisions are closed, and the nose is supported with splints or bandages.
The surgery typically takes 1-3 hours and is performed as an outpatient procedure.
