Rhinoplasty in Philadelphia

Enhance Your Facial Profile with Expert Nose Surgery

Introduction to Rhinoplasty

The nose plays a crucial role in facial aesthetics and breathing function. When disproportionate or dysfunctional, it can negatively impact appearance and quality of life. Rhinoplasty, performed by Dr. Ronald Lohner, can dramatically improve the shape, size and function of the nose to create facial harmony and enhance breathing.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty

• Improved facial balance and proportion
• Correction of nasal humps or bumps
• Refinement of nasal tip shape and size
• Adjustment of nostril width
• Enhanced nasal breathing function
• Increased self-confidence

Ideal Candidates

The best candidates for rhinoplasty are men and women who are:

• In good overall health
• Unhappy with the appearance of their nose
• Experiencing nasal breathing difficulties
• Realistic about potential results
• Non-smokers

The Rhinoplasty Procedure

Dr. Lohner performs rhinoplasty as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The surgery takes 1-2.5 hours depending on the complexity. Two main techniques are used:

Closed Rhinoplasty

Incisions made inside the nostrils for minimal correction. No visible scarring.

Open Rhinoplasty

An additional small incision made across the columella for more extensive correction. Allows better visualization of nasal structures.

Recovery and Results

Recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks. Patients can expect:

• Bruising and swelling for 5-7 days
• Return to work in 3-5 days
• Avoid strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks
• Final results visible after 12-18 months as swelling resolves
