Nose Reshaping Surgery Honolulu, HI | Robert Peterson, MD

Understanding Rhinoplasty in Honolulu

Rhinoplasty offers transformative results for individuals seeking aesthetic or functional improvements to their nasal structure. At Athena Clinic, this sophisticated procedure can accomplish multiple objectives, including size modification, nostril narrowing, bridge reshaping, and subtle angle adjustments.

Surgical Approach and Technique

The rhinoplasty procedure involves precise surgical techniques designed to create a balanced and natural-looking result. Surgeons utilize two primary incision approaches:

• Internal nasal incision technique
• Columellar incision across the vertical strip separating the nostrils

Surgical Process

During the procedure, skin is carefully separated from the underlying nasal framework, sculpted to the desired contour, and then meticulously reattached. The entire process typically requires one to two hours and is performed on an outpatient basis.

Recovery and Expectations

Following rhinoplasty, patients can anticipate a structured recovery process. A protective splint or bandage maintains the new nasal shape during initial healing. Minor swelling and bruising are common but can be effectively managed with prescribed medication.

• Splint/bandage application
• Medication for comfort management
• Stitch removal within five to seven days

Potential Rhinoplasty Outcomes

Rhinoplasty can dramatically enhance facial symmetry and individual self-confidence by creating a more proportionate and refined nasal appearance. Each procedure is customized to meet the unique aesthetic goals of the patient.
