Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty) Beachwood, OH | Dr. Jared C. Storck

Understanding Rhinoplasty: Comprehensive Nose Surgery

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as nose surgery, is a precise surgical procedure designed to modify the nose's shape and structure. The primary goal is to create facial balance and proportion by adjusting the nose's size, width, profile, and tip. While complete symmetry is challenging, the procedure aims to enhance the nose's aesthetic and functional characteristics.

Ideal Candidates for Nose Surgery

Successful rhinoplasty candidates typically demonstrate the following characteristics:

• Excellent overall physical health
• Non-smokers
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Completed facial growth

Advanced Surgical Techniques

Dr. Jared C. Storck utilizes two primary rhinoplasty approaches: closed and open procedures. Each technique offers unique advantages in reshaping nasal structures with precision and minimal scarring.

Surgical Procedure Details

• Closed Procedure: Incisions hidden inside the nose
• Open Procedure: Small incision across the columella
• Gentle tissue elevation to access nasal structures
• Potential cartilage grafting using septal, ear, or rib cartilage

Surgical Considerations and Recovery

Rhinoplasty typically requires 3-4 hours and involves a comprehensive recovery process. Patients can expect initial swelling and healing over several weeks, with final results becoming apparent within one year.

Potential Surgical Risks

• Bleeding
• Infection
• Altered skin sensation
• Potential breathing difficulties

Post-Operative Care and Expectations

Recovery involves careful management, including wearing protective splints, managing swelling, and following specific post-surgical instructions. Patients should anticipate temporary restrictions on physical activities and facial expressions during the initial healing phase.
