Nose Reshaping Surgery (Rhinoplasty) in New Orleans, LA

Understanding Rhinoplasty

Cosmetic nose surgery (rhinoplasty) is an aesthetic treatment performed to enhance the look and shape of the nose. Plastic surgeon Dr. Heath Charvet takes a conservative approach to produce soft and natural outcomes. While rhinoplasty consists of slight changes, results tend to be quite dramatic.

Procedure Goals

• Improve nose aesthetics
• Correct functional breathing issues
• Create balanced facial proportions

Surgical Technique

Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia, typically as an outpatient procedure. Dr. Charvet utilizes either a closed or open surgical approach based on individual patient needs. The objective involves carefully removing or restructuring cartilage, tissue, and bone to achieve the desired nasal shape.

Surgical Approach

• General anesthesia administration
• Precise tissue and cartilage modification
• Careful skin repositioning
• Strategic suture placement

Ethnic Rhinoplasty Considerations

Ethnic rhinoplasty focuses on improving the nose while preserving cultural identity. Dr. Charvet personalizes treatment plans for patients of diverse backgrounds, ensuring results that respect individual aesthetic preferences and heritage.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising for several days following the procedure. Most individuals return to normal appearance within 2-4 weeks. Strenuous activities should be avoided during the initial healing phase.

Consultation and Planning

During your consultation, Dr. Charvet will discuss your aesthetic goals, evaluate your facial structure, and develop a customized surgical plan. The focus is on achieving natural, proportionate results that enhance your overall facial harmony.
