What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that involves:
- Reshaping: Modifying the size, shape, and proportions of the nose to enhance its appearance.
- Functional Improvement: Correcting structural issues that may be causing breathing difficulties.
- Customization: Tailoring the procedure to your specific goals, whether it's achieving a more balanced appearance or addressing functional concerns.
Why Choose Rhinoplasty?
- Aesthetic Enhancement: Achieving facial harmony by enhancing the appearance of the nose.
- Functional Improvement: Correcting breathing issues or structural abnormalities.
- Confidence Boost: Enhancing your self-confidence by achieving the desired look.
How is Rhinoplasty Performed?
During a typical rhinoplasty procedure, the following steps are followed:
- Anesthesia: Your comfort is a priority. Rhinoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, ensuring you are pain-free during the procedure.
- Incision Placement: Dr. Riccio will make incisions inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty) or, in some cases, across the columella (the strip of skin between the nostrils) and inside the nostrils (open rhinoplasty).
- Reshaping: Dr. Riccio will carefully reshape the nasal structures, including bone and cartilage, to achieve the desired appearance.
- Functional Improvements: If addressing breathing concerns, Dr. Riccio will make necessary adjustments to improve airflow and functionality.
- Closing Incisions: The incisions are meticulously closed with sutures, and skin adhesive may be used to minimize scarring.
- Recovery: You will be closely monitored as you awaken from anesthesia. A friend or family member will need to drive you home and assist you during the initial recovery phase.
- Postoperative Care: Dr. Riccio will provide specific postoperative instructions, including wound care, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments.
