What Is Rhinoplasty Surgery?
Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a nose job, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance and function of the nose. This surgery can address a variety of concerns, such as nasal asymmetry, nasal humps, or breathing issues caused by structural issues. Dr. Daraei personalizes this procedure to each candidate’s unique goals and needs.
Types of Rhinoplasty Procedures
Open Rhinoplasty
Open rhinoplasty is a surgical technique involving a small incision between the nostrils to lift the nasal skin and provide full access to the underlying structures. This approach is ideal for addressing complex nasal concerns such as structural issues, nasal humps, or intricate tip reshaping. While the procedure may leave a small, well-concealed scar, it allows for precise adjustments and is often the best choice for dramatic transformations.
Closed Rhinoplasty
Closed rhinoplasty is a minimally invasive technique in which all incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible external scars. This approach is ideal for patients with less complex concerns, such as refining the nasal tip, smoothing minor humps, or correcting mild asymmetry. With reduced swelling and a shorter recovery, closed rhinoplasty offers a quicker return to daily activities while delivering natural results.
Candidates for Rhinoplasty
Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty include individuals in good general health who are dissatisfied with their nose’s size, shape, or functionality. Candidates should have realistic expectations and must have completed their facial growth. Whether you are looking to correct cosmetic imperfections or resolve breathing issues, rhinoplasty can be an ideal solution for achieving your aesthetic and functional goals. The best way to determine your candidacy for this procedure is by scheduling a private consultation with Dr. Daraei.
Rhinoplasty Procedure
Rhinoplasty is an outpatient procedure that typically takes one to three hours, depending on the case’s complexity. Dr. Daraei uses advanced surgical techniques, including open and closed rhinoplasty, to access and reshape the nasal structures. The choice of technique depends on your specific needs and the procedure’s goals. Once the necessary adjustments are made, the soft tissues are redraped, and the incisions are precisely closed to ensure minimal scarring.
Rhinoplasty Recovery
After surgery, patients can expect some swelling and bruising, which will gradually subside over the following weeks. Most individuals return to regular activities within one to two weeks, though strenuous activities should be avoided for up to six weeks. Dr. Daraei provides detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
Rhinoplasty Results
The results of your rhinoplasty are life-long, with improvements in your appearance and nasal function becoming more noticeable as swelling diminishes. Patients often find their facial features more balanced and their confidence heightened. Those who undergo rhinoplasty to address breathing difficulties report improved airflow and overall quality of life after the procedure.
