1. Consultation:

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with our experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon. During this initial meeting, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your aesthetic goals, concerns, and expectations. Our surgeon will assess your facial features and nasal anatomy, ensuring that the procedure is customized to your individual needs.

2. Anesthesia:

Rhinoplasty is typically performed under either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The choice of anesthesia will depend on the complexity of the surgery and your personal preferences, which will be discussed during your consultation.

3. Incisions:

Rhinoplasty can be performed using two primary techniques:

• Open Rhinoplasty: This method involves creating an incision across the columella (the strip of skin between the nostrils) and provides the surgeon with greater visibility and control during the procedure. Open rhinoplasty is often chosen for more complex cases.
• Closed Rhinoplasty: In this approach, incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible external scarring. Closed rhinoplasty is a suitable option for less complex cases.

Your surgeon will determine the most appropriate technique based on your specific requirements.

4. Reshaping the Nose:

During the surgery, your surgeon will make the necessary modifications to achieve your desired results. These adjustments may include:

• Size Reduction: If your nose is larger than desired, your surgeon can sculpt it to create a more balanced appearance.
• Shape Enhancement: Whether you seek a refined tip, smoother bridge, or more symmetrical nostrils, rhinoplasty can help you achieve these goals.
• Functional Improvements: For those with breathing difficulties, the procedure can address functional issues, such as correcting a deviated septum.

5. Closing Incisions:

Upon completing the desired alterations, your surgeon will carefully close the incisions. The incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring, ensuring a natural and aesthetically pleasing outcome.

6. Recovery and Results:

Following rhinoplasty, some swelling and bruising are normal and expected. These effects will gradually subside over the course of a few weeks. Your surgeon will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions to facilitate a smooth and comfortable recovery.
