Rhinoplasty

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a procedure designed to improve the size, shape, and symmetry of the nose. This surgery can bring the nose into better proportion with the rest of the face, enhancing overall facial harmony. In addition to cosmetic benefits, rhinoplasty can also correct impaired breathing caused by structural defects in the nose. If you’re considering a nose job in Scottsdale, rhinoplasty offers both aesthetic and functional improvements, helping you achieve a balanced and harmonious appearance.

Rhinoplasty can achieve the following:

Smooth a bump in the bridge of the nose.
Straighten a crooked nose.
Narrow a wide nose.
Refine a bulbous nasal tip.
Reduce the length of the nasal tip.
And more!

Candidates for Rhinoplasty

Both men and women can benefit from rhinoplasty to improve the shape and symmetry of their noses. To perform this procedure on teenagers, the nose must be fully developed, which is usually around the age of 14 for girls and 16 for boys. Ideal candidates will be healthy with realistic expectations for the outcome of their procedure. To learn more about candidacy, contact our office today and schedule your initial consultation.

The Procedure

Rhinoplasty is a highly personalized procedure, and the exact technique used by your surgeon will differ from another patient. Your treatment plan will be created specifically to achieve your cosmetic goals.

There are two main rhinoplasty techniques used today including open and closed rhinoplasty.

Open rhinoplasty:

For more extensive nasal improvements, a small incision is created under the nose between the nostrils. This approach, known as open rhinoplasty, allows the surgeon better access to the internal nasal structures. If you’re considering a nose job in Scottsdale, this technique can provide more precise results. The resulting scar will be well hidden in the natural contours of the nose and will fade over time, ensuring a subtle and effective enhancement.

Closed rhinoplasty:

Incisions for rhinoplasty are typically created inside the nostril, ensuring that no scars will be noticeable after healing. This technique is especially beneficial for those seeking minor improvements to the nasal structures. If you’re considering a nose job in Scottsdale, this scarless approach to rhinoplasty offers a subtle yet effective way to enhance the shape and size of your nose without visible scarring.

Recovery

Following rhinoplasty, you may experience bruising and swelling for the first couple of weeks. Most people can return to school or work after 1-2 weeks, depending on the level of activity required. After three weeks, normal, gentle activities can be resumed. As swelling and bruising dissipate you will be able to see a visible improvement in your nose contour. It is normal to have some residual swelling for up to one year. The results of rhinoplasty are permanent, so you can enjoy your improved nose for years to come!
