Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty) Ridgeland, MS | Mississippi Center for Plastic Surgery

Understanding Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is an aesthetic treatment designed to change the appearance of a patient's nose while potentially improving breathing function. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Steckler specializes in creating natural-looking results through precise surgical techniques.

Procedure Goals and Benefits

• Reshape nose size and proportion
• Improve facial symmetry
• Address breathing complications
• Enhance overall facial aesthetics

Surgical Approach and Technique

Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Dr. Steckler utilizes either open or closed surgical techniques depending on individual patient needs. The procedure involves carefully modifying nasal cartilage, tissue, and bone to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.

Surgical Methodology

• Reducing or augmenting nasal structures
• Repositioning nasal framework
• Reforming skin coverage
• Precise suturing techniques

Recovery and Healing Process

After rhinoplasty, patients can expect initial bruising and swelling for several days. The healing process typically requires 2-4 weeks, during which patients should avoid strenuous activities. Follow-up appointments with Dr. Steckler will monitor recovery and ensure optimal results.

Post-Surgical Care Recommendations

• Use cold compresses to reduce swelling
• Take prescribed pain medication
• Attend scheduled follow-up appointments
• Limit physical exertion

Patient Considerations

Rhinoplasty offers an effective solution for individuals dissatisfied with their nasal appearance or experiencing breathing difficulties. Even subtle modifications can significantly enhance facial harmony and self-confidence.
