The Rhinoplasty Procedure
NATURAL & TIMELESS
Surgical and non-surgical rhinoplasties are performed in harmony with your existing facial features to achieve a natural, timeless result. The most important part of a rhinoplasty is the consultation. During this time, your visualized result comes to life as we devise and align on a plan, surgical or non-surgical. Personalizing an experience that celebrates your unique vision is central to obtaining a result you love. Your nose, according to you.
What to Expect
All procedures are done in a balanced and natural esthetic.
Consultation
The consultation focuses on creating a personalized treatment plan that addresses your goals and fulfills your expectations. I always ask my patients to list three things that they dislike about their nose. The purpose is to provide a framework and context for the procedure in an effort to fully address your expectations. We will devise a comprehensive plan that balances these objectives with your natural facial features in order to achieve a beautiful, long-lasting result. My goal is for you to have full confidence in your decision to make the change you have always imagined.
Surgery
Surgery is performed at an accredited surgery center in Newport Beach, California. Under the care of a Board Certified Anesthesiologist, general anesthesia (fully asleep) is used to ensure maximal comfort and safety.
Non-surgical contouring is performed in the office with topical anesthetic to ensure your complete comfort.
The incision for a surgical rhinoplasty is placed in the columella, or the bridge of skin beneath the nose. This area heals quite well and with time the incision becomes nearly imperceptible. Additional incisions are hidden inside the nose and generally heal without issue.
Recovery
The procedure is well-tolerated and patients are discharged home the same day. Internal and external nasal splints are often worn for approximately 1 week to provide support during the initial healing phase. Patients can expect swelling that predictably dissipates with time. Bruising, if present, will resolve within one week. Patients typically stay out of work for about a week, however are permitted non-strenuous activity as soon as they feel ready.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty has obvious advantages in that patients experience no downtime. There is minimal initial swelling that resolves over a period of 2-3 days.
Results
Surgical results are long lasting provided trauma to the nose is avoided. Non-surgical rhinoplasty results are not permanent and require fine-tuning approximately every 12 months.
