Understanding Rhinoplasty: Precision Nose Reshaping in Los Angeles

Whether you want to refine a subtle detail or make a dramatic enhancement, nose surgery can be vital to achieving a harmonious look that highlights your best features. Dr. Kahng at Cara Plastic Surgery performs rhinoplasties in Los Angeles and Orange County that are tailored to bring out the ideal balance and shape for your unique facial structure.

The Art and Science of Nose Surgery

Although rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) is a popular procedure, it is also the most challenging cosmetic surgery. Dr. David Kahng is a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive training and experience, renowned for performing this surgery with exquisite surgical technique.

What Can Rhinoplasty Address?

• Reduce or increase nose size for better facial balance
• Narrow nostril width
• Improve nasal bridge shape
• Modify nose and upper lip angle
• Correct nasal tip irregularities

Specialized Asian Rhinoplasty Expertise

Understanding the unique Asian nose structure, Dr. Kahng has developed specialized techniques that enhance facial features while maintaining natural aesthetics. His approach can reshape the nose tip, build up the nose bridge, or reduce overlarge nostrils with precision.

Functional and Cosmetic Considerations

Beyond aesthetic improvements, rhinoplasty can also address functional issues like a deviated septum. By adjusting nasal structures, Dr. Kahng can improve breathing, reduce sinus problems, and enhance overall respiratory function.

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Kahng employs two primary rhinoplasty techniques:

• Closed Rhinoplasty: All incisions are hidden inside the nose
• Open Rhinoplasty: A small incision across the columella provides enhanced surgical visibility

Recovery and Results

Most patients return to work approximately one week after surgery. While initial results are visible within weeks, final nasal contours can take up to a year to fully refine and reveal the enhanced nose structure.
