Understanding Rhinoplasty

Cosmetic nose surgery, or rhinoplasty, is a precision procedure designed to create overall facial harmony. Dr. Sean Hill offers expert rhinoplasty techniques that address both aesthetic concerns and functional breathing challenges.

Procedure Overview

• Anesthesia: General
• Surgery Type: Outpatient
• Minimum Age: 14-16 for females, 16-18 for males
• Average Procedure Length: 1-3 hours
• Recovery Time: 1-2 weeks

Rhinoplasty Expertise

Dr. Hill's advanced training in rhinoplasty includes specialized education from UT Southwestern and a craniofacial fellowship at UTMB. His expertise has been recognized through his invitation as an instructor at the prestigious Dallas Rhinoplasty Symposium.

Procedure Capabilities

Rhinoplasty can address multiple aesthetic and functional concerns, including:

• Reducing or enlarging nose size
• Reshaping nasal tip
• Correcting nasal humps
• Improving breathing functionality
• Addressing congenital or injury-related nasal defects

Surgical Technique

Dr. Hill typically performs rhinoplasty using an open technique, which involves a small incision between the nostrils. This approach provides optimal visibility and precision during the procedure, allowing for meticulous reshaping of nasal structures.

Recovery Expectations

Most patients experience minimal discomfort following rhinoplasty. The typical recovery timeline includes:

• 5 days: Surgical splints removed
• 1-2 weeks: Return to normal activities
• 3-4 weeks: 70% reduction in swelling
• 6-12 months: Complete nasal settlement

Candidate Considerations

Ideal rhinoplasty candidates are individuals in good overall health seeking to improve nasal appearance or function. Most patients are in their 20s or 30s, though the procedure can be appropriate for both younger and older patients.

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Hill may recommend combining rhinoplasty with complementary treatments such as:

• Chin augmentation
• Facial fat grafting
• Dermal fillers

Non-Surgical Alternative

For patients seeking temporary nasal contour modifications, non-surgical rhinoplasty using dermal fillers can provide a preview of potential surgical results.
