What is Rhinoplasty

A Rhinoplasty procedure, or nose job surgery, is a facial plastic surgery. It is the second most common plastic surgery procedure behind breast augmentation. Some rhinoplasty patients have been unhappy with the shape or size of their noses since their youth. Others present with nasal deformities or abnormalities that resulted from trauma. Addressing certain features of the patient’s nose (dorsal hump, wide nose, flaring nostrils, crooked nose, etc.) can achieve facial harmony and have dramatic effects on their self-esteem and confidence.

Rhinoplasty Candidate

Good candidates for primary rhinoplasty surgery typically include individuals who:

Have realistic expectations about the outcome.
Are in good overall health.
Are non-smokers, as smoking can impact healing.
Have completed facial growth (usually around late teens).
Experience dissatisfaction with the size, shape, or functionality of their nose.
Seek improvement rather than perfection.
Understand the surgical process and recovery involved.
Have encountered trauma, such as a broken nose or nasal valve collapse.

A thorough consultation with qualified plastic surgeons is crucial to determine specific candidacy for a rhinoplasty procedure based on individual health and aesthetic goals.

Rhinoplasty FAQ

How painful is a rhinoplasty surgical procedure?

Most patients report mild discomfort rather than severe pain, primarily experiencing congestion-related symptoms during recovery.

How long does an Asian nose surgery last?

Asian rhinoplasty typically provides lifelong results, especially beneficial for enhancing smaller, flatter nasal structures common in Asian facial anatomy.

What are the risks of rhinoplasty surgery?

Potential complications include severe bleeding (less than 1 in 500 cases) and infection (about 1% occurrence rate). These risks are minimized with an experienced surgeon.

What are the main benefits of having a nose job surgery?

Rhinoplasty improves nasal function, corrects structural issues (deviated septum, birth defects), repairs injuries, and enhances facial symmetry for better aesthetics.

How many days off will I need after a rhinoplasty?

Most patients return to work within 1-2 weeks, with initial swelling subsiding in 3 days. Full activity resumption takes 3-6 weeks.

Is an ethnic rhinoplasty more expensive?

Cost depends on surgical complexity rather than ethnicity. Some ethnic rhinoplasties require specialized techniques which may affect pricing.

What is the recovery time for rhinoplasty procedure?

Initial swelling lasts 4-6 weeks, with gradual improvement over 3 months. Final results emerge within 1 year as residual swelling resolves.

Is rhinoplasty considered a reconstructive surgery?

When performed to correct functional issues (breathing problems, trauma, birth defects), it's considered reconstructive rather than purely cosmetic.

Where can I find rhinoplasty near me?

Will my insurance cover a nose job procedure?

Purely cosmetic rhinoplasty isn't typically covered, but procedures addressing medical issues (breathing problems, structural defects) may qualify for insurance coverage.

Types of Rhinoplasty Techniques

Open Rhinoplasty Technique

In an open rhinoplasty, a small Z-shaped incision is made beneath the nose between the nostrils.
This approach enables precise changes to the nose shape, and though the incision is small, proper care ensures a quick fading of the scar.

Closed Rhinoplasty Technique

In closed rhinoplasty, incisions are made inside the nose, preserving the skin. The drawback is reduced visibility of bone and cartilage, but it entails less swelling compared to open rhinoplasty, making it suitable for correcting minor imperfections.

Tip Plasty (nasal tip rhinoplasty)

In tip plasty, the facial plastic surgeon concentrates on refining the nose tip without altering the nasal bones. This minimally invasive procedure usually entails a shorter recovery period compared to traditional rhinoplasty.

Septorhinoplasty

In septoplasty, the surgeon adjusts the nasal septum, often called deviated septum rhinoplasty, improving nasal breathing. While it usually doesn’t affect external appearance, combining it with rhinoplasty enhances both form and function for comprehensive nose improvement.

Revision Rhinoplasty (Corrective Surgery)

If dissatisfied with the your previous rhinoplasty results, maybe due to difficulty breathing or not achieving your desired shape, consider revision rhinoplasty. This revision rhinoplasty addresses cosmetic issues not fixed before or tackles new functional concerns post the initial surgery.

Liquid Rhinoplasty

In a liquid rhinoplasty, dermal fillers reshape the nose without stitches or incisions. While it doesn’t reduce nose size, it effectively corrects minor asymmetries and indentations without surgical intervention.

Rhinoplasty Procedure

A rhinoplasty surgery is a cosmetic procedure performed normally under general anesthesia. Rhinoplasty surgeons may use either an internal or external incision, often located at the base of the nose, to access the underlying bone and nasal cartilage. The nose surgeon then carefully reshapes these tissues to achieve the desired aesthetic or functional outcome.

This may involve removing excess soft tissue, straightening the nasal bridge, refining the tip, or correcting asymmetry. The skin is then redraped over the newly sculpted framework, which can sometimes include an ear graft or rib cartilage graft, to enhance facial balance and give a balanced nasal appearance.

Rhinoplasty Recovery

An outpatient procedure ensures a facial rejuvenation with your nose job yielding immediate results, though complete skin contraction to the new shape may take several months.Pain levels vary, with oral medication possibly required for up to 7 days. External taping and splinting last for a week, while drains, if used, are typically removed within that timeframe.Sutures are taken out at 5 to 7 days.

No restrictions on daily activities are imposed, encouraging patients to walk, with showers permitted 2 days post-surgery.Exercise is allowed at 2 weeks, but activities risking nasal trauma should be avoided for 4 weeks. Return to work varies, typically taking 1 to 2 weeks based on job demands.During your rhinoplasty recovery time, follow-up appointments are scheduled at 1 week, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and as needed.

Rhinoplasty Beverly Hills Cost

A Beverly Hills nose job cost with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon may differ based on several factors. Variations in pricing are influenced by factors like your aesthetic objectives, the intricacies of your nasal anatomy, the surgical techniques employed for your specific procedure, and whether it’s your primary or revision surgery rhinoplasty.
