Understanding Rhinoplasty: Comprehensive Nose Surgery Solutions

Rhinoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance or function of the nose. At Bopp Dermatology & Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Felix Bopp offers expert nose surgery to address both cosmetic and medical concerns with precision and artistic skill.

Types of Rhinoplasty Procedures

Dr. Bopp provides two primary rhinoplasty approaches:

• Reconstructive Rhinoplasty: Improving breathing, repairing structural defects, or addressing medical issues
• Cosmetic Rhinoplasty: Enhancing aesthetic appearance and facial harmony

Cosmetic Rhinoplasty Corrections

Cosmetic rhinoplasty can effectively address multiple aesthetic concerns, including:

• Reducing overall nose size
• Straightening a crooked nose
• Adjusting nose width at the bridge
• Modifying nostril position and shape
• Eliminating bridge humps or depressions
• Refining nose tip appearance
• Correcting nasal asymmetry

Ideal Rhinoplasty Candidates

Dr. Felix Bopp considers rhinoplasty for adults and adolescents over 16 with fully developed facial structures. Key candidacy factors include:

• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Good overall health
• Specific, achievable aesthetic or functional goals

Surgical Approach and Technique

Dr. Bopp utilizes two primary rhinoplasty techniques:

• Closed Rhinoplasty: Incisions inside the nose to minimize visible scarring
• Open Rhinoplasty: External incision between nostrils for more complex reconstructions

Recovery and Results

Rhinoplasty results develop gradually, with initial swelling subsiding within weeks. Patients can expect continued refinement over 12 months as the nose fully heals and settles into its new shape.
