Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty) Pleasanton, CA | Dr. Eric T. Hisaka, MD

Understanding Nose Plastic Surgery

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a "nose job" or nose surgery, is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance and proportion of the nose. This surgical technique enhances facial harmony and can potentially correct structural breathing issues.

What Rhinoplasty Can Accomplish

Nose surgery offers comprehensive modifications to nasal features, including:

Adjusting nose size relative to facial structures
Modifying nose width at the bridge
Correcting nasal profile with visible humps or depressions
Reshaping nasal tip that appears large, bulbous, drooping, or upturned
Refining nostril size and shape
Addressing nasal asymmetry and deviation

Candidacy for Nose Surgery

Rhinoplasty is a highly personalized procedure ideal for individuals who meet specific criteria:

Completed facial growth (typically age 13 or older)
Good overall physical health
Non-smokers
Realistic aesthetic goals

Rhinoplasty Procedure Overview

Surgical Technique and Approach

Dr. Hisaka performs rhinoplasty using two primary techniques: closed and open procedures. The closed method involves hidden internal incisions, while the open approach includes a small incision across the columella, allowing precise structural modifications.

Surgical Steps

Anesthesia administration for patient comfort
Strategic incision placement
Gentle tissue elevation
Nasal structure reshaping
Potential cartilage grafting
Septum correction
Incision closure

Recovery and Results

Recovery involves wearing nasal splints and internal supports for approximately one week. While initial swelling subsides within weeks, final nasal contour refinement can take up to a year. Patients may experience gradual changes and intermittent swelling during the healing process.

Breathing Improvement

Beyond cosmetic enhancement, rhinoplasty can address functional respiratory concerns. Correcting a deviated septum and adjusting nasal structures can significantly improve airflow and breathing capabilities.

I’ve known Dr Hisaka for 23 years. I should’ve written this a long time ago. He is a magician and done such amazing work for me. I recently (last November 11/22/23) had a very complicated abdominoplasty and tummy tuck, after having 6 kids. My results are phenomenal. He’s also done my breast augmentations and the results are everything I’ve ever wanted. I absolutely love my new bellybutton too. He is very methodical with all of his work and a master at his craft. I couldn’t be in better hands. I’m so grateful for everything he’s done for me. 😊

Eric T. Hisaka, MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon, was highly recommended to me by my close friends, a board-certified anesthesiologist and a cardiac surgery nurse, to perform my upper and lower blepharoplasties. Following my surgery, as a long time healthcare professional myself, I feel Dr. Hisaka was the best choice for me. This is due to the following: The extra time Dr. Hisaka spent talking to and interacting with me during his extensive preoperative preparation for my surgery allowed him to construct an individual treatment plan just for me. The payoff for developing and planning my blepharoplasty procedure with such care was the ease with which Dr. Hisaka was able to perform my surgery, resulting in very minimal post operative surgical bruising and pain. Dr. Hisaka's calming and reassuring bedside manner reflects a consummate medical professional who has successfully run his own private surgical practice for many years. Along with a focus on perfecting his surgical skills and the use of medical magnifying loupes, he eased my patient anxieties with a caring and compassionate demeanor. With Dr. Hisaka's full support and instructions prior to surgery, I was poised to build my self-confidence and coping mechanisms to handle any issues that might arise after my operation. Dr. Hisaka graduated from UC Davis medical school and subsequently completed full surgical residencies in both plastic surgery and otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. He is board certified in both. Dr. Hisaka has a spotless, clean, attractive and modern office and a friendly, competent, and trained staff, Preeti Khale and Emma Keller, who were eager to help me with any concerns. Dr. Hisaka's hand-eye coordination skills are similar to that of a concert pianist. He is so light handed that one is barely aware of his touch. Dr. Hisaka curates his surgical team, as he only works at hospitals and surgery centers where the anesthesiologists, nurses, and technicians can meet his expectations in procedural management while providing him with well-functioning and routinely maintained, technically-advanced equipment. When all of those boxes are checked, as they were for my surgical experience, the net result was maximum efficiency and safety, minimal patient discomfort, minimal need for pain medication, fast healing, and a quick return to normalcy. I had general anesthesia and was intubated. I did not have a sore throat following my procedure. I had my surgical procedure at the Tri Valley Surgery Center in Dublin, California. Of note were my anesthesiologist, Howard Tsuchiya, MD and the surgical nurse, Courtney, who treated me with dignity and respect and who took care of me before, during, and after surgery. At a time when I had to surrender control of my body to others and could have felt the most vulnerable, I felt emotionally supported by Dr. Hisaka's surgical team throughout my stay there. There are very few doctors that I would trust using a sharp scalpel in close proximity to my eyes. Dr. Hisaka is number ONE !!!!!!! Thank you, Dr. Hisaka, for sharing your clinical skills, your passion for your life's work, and your compassion for your patients with me and others. I feel and look refreshed. I am very pleased with my experience. Sincerely, R. T. Lee, RDHEF, MS

I had the pleasure of being under the care of Dr. Eric Hisaka for my recent plastic surgery procedure, and I must say it was a truly delightful experience. Dr. Hisaka not only possesses a warm and gentle demeanor, but he is also a consummate professional who provides honest assessments and thoughtful suggestions for achieving desired outcomes. His expertise in both lower and upper blepharoplasty surgeries is truly remarkable. Throughout the entire process, Dr. Hisaka's guidance and skill were evident, putting me at ease and instilling confidence in the results to come. I am thrilled to say that I am beyond satisfied with my results. Thanks to Dr. Hisaka's expertise, I now look so much more awake and refreshed, with natural-looking enhancements that have truly boosted my confidence. I highly recommend Dr. Eric Hisaka to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate plastic surgeon.
