Rhinoplasty in Winter Park, FL | Clifford Clark

Understanding Rhinoplasty: A Comprehensive Overview

Rhinoplasty is a specialized facial plastic surgery designed to reshape and refine the nose's appearance and function. This procedure helps individuals address aesthetic concerns and improve nasal proportions to create balanced facial harmony.

Who Benefits from Rhinoplasty?

Patients considering rhinoplasty typically have specific concerns about their nasal structure, such as:

• Disproportionate nose size or shape
• Visible dorsal humps or bumps
• Wide or narrow nasal bridges
• Asymmetrical nasal tips
• Functional breathing difficulties

Surgical Approach and Technique

Clark Institute for Aesthetics offers two primary rhinoplasty techniques: open and closed procedures. The surgical approach depends on the patient's specific anatomical requirements and aesthetic goals.

Open Rhinoplasty Procedure

In an open rhinoplasty, surgeons make a small incision along the underside of the nose, allowing comprehensive visualization of the nasal structure. This technique enables precise modifications to bone and cartilage, creating a balanced and natural result.

Closed Rhinoplasty Option

For patients requiring minor adjustments, a closed rhinoplasty might be recommended. This technique involves internal incisions, minimizing external scarring and reducing recovery time.

Recovery and Expectations

Rhinoplasty recovery is a gradual process. Patients can expect initial swelling and minor discomfort, which typically subsides within 2-3 weeks. Complete healing and final results may take up to 12 months.

Candidate Evaluation

Ideal rhinoplasty candidates are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and seek to improve nasal aesthetics or function. During the consultation, Dr. Clifford Clark will conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine the most appropriate surgical approach.
