During rhinoplasty, your surgeon will address your nasal tip, bridge, and nostrils, bringing these areas into balance while ensuring the nose is well-suited to your face. While most nose surgeries are purely cosmetic, your surgeon can combine your treatment with functional rhinoplasty to correct structural problems that might be interfering with proper breathing or sleeping. Rhinoplasty in Newport Beach can address the following nasal imperfections:

Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and can take several hours to complete. Your surgeon will tailor their approach to your unique anatomy and goals. There are two possible techniques used during surgery: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty.

With rhinoplasty comes numerous physical, social, and emotional benefits. After surgery, patients tend to feel more confident in their appearance, which in turn leads to enhanced relationship satisfaction, better work opportunities, and an overall sense of well-being and security. Rhinoplasty can have anti-aging effects on the appearance for older patients, while for younger patients, nose surgery can ensure that they avoid teasing, taunting, and bullying. Other advantages include:

Patients who are unhappy with the size, shape, or projection of their nose will make excellent candidates for rhinoplasty, provided that they are healthy non-smokers who have realistic expectations for their results. During your private consultation, we will assess your skin quality, nasal structure, and medical history. Additionally, patients will be able to see their potential outcomes through the use of our advanced imaging technology. Teens can undergo the surgery, as long as their noses have finished growing. On the upper end, no one is too old to undergo rhinoplasty, as long as they are medically cleared for surgery.

We understand what a personal choice choosing to modify your nose is and additionally, the process you’ll go through in making a final decision. Our goal is to work closely with you so that you understand the choices you’re making for yourself, and that those choices are made from an informed and educated place. The illustration below will help you understand some of the most common concerns rhinoplasty can treat.

Immediately after surgery, your nose will be bandaged and a splint may be placed for up to 7 days to keep the new nasal shape intact. You will need a friend, family member, or adult helper to drive you home and assist you for the first 24 hours of your healing process. Swelling, bruising, and soreness will be at their worst for the first few days after surgery. However, these symptoms will slowly abate over the coming weeks and months, revealing your newly sculpted and refined nose.

Your surgeon will provide you with a detailed aftercare plan and prescription painkillers to ensure you are comfortable and at ease. Most patients can switch to over-the-counter painkillers after 3-4 days. Remember that residual swelling can last up to 12 months, so don’t be too quick to judge your final results. Our team will be on hand to guide and support you throughout your rhinoplasty journey and will see you for regular follow-up sessions.
