Understanding Rhinoplasty: A Comprehensive Overview

Rhinoplasty is a complex surgical procedure designed to enhance both the aesthetic appearance and functional performance of the nose. As a double board-certified plastic surgeon and otolaryngologist, Dr. Eric Okamoto brings unique expertise to nasal surgery, offering patients comprehensive and personalized treatment approaches.

Potential Benefits of Rhinoplasty

  • Improve nasal symmetry and proportion
  • Correct structural breathing issues
  • Enhance facial balance and harmony
  • Address congenital or post-traumatic nasal deformities

Procedure Details

Rhinoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia, lasting approximately 2-3 hours. Dr. Okamoto utilizes either closed or open surgical techniques, depending on the patient's specific anatomical requirements and aesthetic goals.

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Okamoto offers specialized rhinoplasty approaches, including:

  • Traditional rhinoplasty
  • Asian rhinoplasty
  • Revision rhinoplasty
  • Non-surgical liquid rhinoplasty

Candidate Considerations

Ideal rhinoplasty candidates are individuals in good health who have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. Factors considered include facial anatomy, skin thickness, and specific aesthetic or functional concerns.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery typically involves initial swelling and minor bruising. Most patients can return to non-strenuous activities within one week, though complete healing may take several months. Dr. Okamoto provides comprehensive post-operative guidance to ensure optimal results.

Specialized Approach

As a double board-certified surgeon, Dr. Okamoto combines aesthetic refinement with functional expertise, ensuring patients receive comprehensive nasal surgical care tailored to their unique needs.

Non-Surgical Options

For patients seeking minimal intervention, liquid rhinoplasty using dermal fillers offers a temporary solution for minor nasal contour adjustments. This non-surgical approach can provide subtle aesthetic enhancements with minimal downtime.

Consultation and Personalized Treatment

Dr. Okamoto emphasizes individualized treatment planning, carefully assessing each patient's unique facial structure, aesthetic goals, and functional requirements to develop a customized rhinoplasty strategy.

Dr. Okamoto has been nothing short of amazing. When I first walked in, I had expectations of what I wanted. I explained to him what I did not like, and from there, he provided me a detailed drawing of those goals I had, let me know if my expectations could be met, and gave me my options. I was very fortunate that I had multiple options that could help me achieve those goals. You see, after losing a lot of weight, I was pretty rough with some extra skin. I wanted a tummy tuck, but did not want a 6 pack. Crazy right? I told Dr. Okamoto, that wasn't me! No one would believe if all of a sudden, I had some crazy extra skin, then suddenly I walked out with a 6 pack. So, I opted for a mini tummy tuck and boy, that was the BEST thing I could've ever done! With my Mommy makeover, I not only got a great looking stomach, I got some new additions to my chest area! I can finally wear that swim suit with great results! Thank you Dr. Okamoto! You're truly a genius! My scars are HARDLY there and I couldn't be happier!

I don’t trust him, this guy is a liar. He did a consult for 2nd opinion and lied to my face. I’ll never forget what he did to me. It’s been 20 yrs but still I’m bothered by it.

Abdominoplasty Surgery and liposuction 4/13/23; I paid for lipo of flank and bra midriff areas, he lipo'd my upper hips, which I didn't expect and it appears that my bra line wasn't even touched. Abdominoplasty; he placed my belly button to low, and left bunched up hard lumps of sutured skin and tissue at my pelvis pubic-panty line which is still there and painful a year later like a tree branch at the suture line, also liposuction to my Abdomin was uneven; R side he left pocket of fat compared to flat L side. There was an over night stay, during the stay the over night nurse caused a large blister on my right thigh from shearing which happend from pulling the plastic pad or sheet from under me without turning me over, the scar is still there. I'm an RN and have worked for 45 years in nursing. I was sent home from surgery with NO drains and bled all over everything all the way home and for 3 days. the drain hole healed fast, causing the accumulation of bloody fluid, which collected in my Abdomen and hips for months. I should have insisted on drains. He does no History and physical nor pre surgery labs to check blood health, I became very anemic within the weeks after surgery due to blood loss. The information on WHAT to expect post op was very limited. Do your post op care and expectation research before surgery!!!! It's NOT a walk in the park. Dr. doesn't tell you everything you need to know. He didn't offer a compression garment or FAHA nor inform me of lymphatic drainage massage, you need to know how important it is. I found out months later online!! When I mentioned it, he then let me know I could have one free FAHA and they mailed me one. It was really too late for post op compression. Another thing, I was told I might have some numbness around my umbilical area, yes about 6 inches around it that is still totally numb. Total numbness 12 Months later, no sign of feeling. I need 2 more surgeries, but will choose another surgeon! BTW he was using and old inaccurate scale 10Lbs off, from mid century. It was never correct, so I supplied one for his office. Just had my 1 year post op visit today. New scale still in good use, my weight 25Lb less than 6 months ago. Dr was amazed at my weight loss. it wasn't easy, he explained away all my complaints and wanted me to sign a waiver so he could use my before and after pictures from my hard work dieting and exercise. I decined. He said I should have lost the weight before he did the surgery. I do agree.

I went in for a consult a while back. This rating is for the office staff and Dr. Okamoto. The office is very welcoming, I was greeted by a kind front desk receptionist Danna who was very helpful with booking my appointment and doing a follow up with me. Dr. Okamoto I can tell has many years of experience, he answered all my questions and was very helpful in understanding me. I do recommend him if you want someone with many years of experience and knowledge.
