Rhinoplasty Saratoga, CA | Jacqueline Cheng, MD

Transformative Nasal Surgery for Beauty and Function

The nose is the central and most defining feature of the face. A well-proportioned nose can enhance self-confidence and create facial harmony. Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery, offers patients an opportunity to address both aesthetic concerns and functional breathing issues.

Understanding Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a sophisticated surgical procedure that involves precise modifications to nasal structure. Considered one of the most complex facial surgeries, this treatment can dramatically improve both appearance and respiratory function.

Conditions Addressed by Rhinoplasty

• Nose bridge humps or irregularities
• Flat or wide nasal bridges
• Asymmetrical or crooked nasal structures
• Bulbous or wide nasal tips
• Breathing problems like deviated septum

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Cheng offers two primary rhinoplasty techniques: open and closed. The closed technique involves internal nostril modifications, while the open technique includes a small, strategically placed columellar incision for more extensive reshaping.

Rhinoplasty Benefits

• Enhanced facial symmetry and balance
• Improved aesthetic harmony
• Potential functional breathing improvements
• Customized, natural-looking results
• Boost in self-confidence

Expertise and Qualifications

Dr. Jacqueline Cheng is double board-certified in head and neck surgery and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. With two decades of surgical experience, she delivers precision and artistry in every rhinoplasty procedure.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising for approximately two weeks. Full nasal tissue maturation and final results may take up to one year. Most patients return to normal activities within 10 days, with specific post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Cheng.

Candidacy and Considerations

Ideal rhinoplasty candidates are individuals dissatisfied with nasal appearance or experiencing breathing difficulties. For cosmetic purposes, patients should wait until nasal bones are fully developed—typically around age 15 for girls and 18 for boys.
