With a comprehensive approach, the practice develops highly personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique facial characteristics and aesthetic goals.

Understanding Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a sophisticated medical procedure focused on reshaping the nose. This cosmetic intervention differs from functional nasal surgeries, though both can often be performed simultaneously to achieve optimal results.

Comprehensive Consultation Process

The rhinoplasty consultation includes a thorough medical assessment that encompasses:

• Complete medical history review
• Detailed discussion of patient aesthetic objectives
• Comprehensive nasal structure examination
• Digital imaging and computer-assisted visualization

Procedure Details

Rhinoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure using twilight anesthesia. The surgical process typically requires approximately two hours, depending on the specific modifications needed. Patients return home the same day with protective nasal splints.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves gradual swelling reduction. Approximately 80% of swelling resolves within six weeks, with the remaining 20% potentially taking up to one year to completely subside. Most patients can return to work within 7-14 days.

Candidacy and Considerations

Ideal rhinoplasty candidates include physically and emotionally healthy individuals with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. The procedure's success depends on factors such as nasal skin thickness and underlying bone structure.
