Rhinoplasty in Bryn Mawr, OR

Understanding Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to improve the shape, size, and function of the nose. This transformative surgery addresses both aesthetic concerns and functional nasal issues, providing patients with enhanced facial balance and improved breathing capabilities.

Procedure Overview

Rhinoplasty can correct multiple nasal characteristics, including:

• Nasal bridge humps
• Bulbous nasal tips
• Disproportionate nostril sizes
• Structural breathing impediments

Surgical Techniques

Lohner Plastic Surgery offers two primary rhinoplasty approaches:

• Closed Rhinoplasty: Minimal incisions within the nostrils
• Open Rhinoplasty: Small external incision for enhanced surgical visualization

Candidate Considerations

Ideal rhinoplasty candidates are individuals who:

• Are in good overall health
• Have realistic surgical expectations
• Seek aesthetic or functional nose improvements

Recovery Expectations

Rhinoplasty recovery typically spans one to two weeks. Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising, with most visible improvements emerging within five to seven days. Full healing and final results may take 12 to 18 months.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty

• Enhanced facial symmetry
• Improved breathing function
• Increased self-confidence
• Correction of structural nasal issues
