Rhinoplasty McLean, VA | Dr. Brent Birely | Body Plastic Surgeon

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure designed to alter the nose's size, shape, or function. This intricate facial plastic surgery addresses aesthetic concerns and potential functional issues. The nose plays a crucial role in facial harmony, and even subtle changes can significantly impact overall facial proportions.

Candidacy for Rhinoplasty

Ideal rhinoplasty candidates typically exhibit the following characteristics:

• Dissatisfaction with current nose size or shape
• Desire to modify nasal structure
• Breathing difficulties
• Nasal asymmetry or structural irregularities
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Rhinoplasty Procedure Options

Closed Rhinoplasty

In closed rhinoplasty, surgical modifications are performed through internal nostril incisions. This minimally invasive technique offers faster recovery and is ideal for patients seeking subtle to moderate nasal changes.

Open Rhinoplasty

Open rhinoplasty involves a small external incision between the nostrils, allowing comprehensive access for more extensive nasal restructuring. This approach enables significant modifications to cartilage and overall nasal architecture.

Recovery and Results

Patients typically return home the same day, with initial recovery spanning two weeks. Minimal swelling may persist for several months, with final results becoming apparent between six to twelve months post-surgery.

Expected Outcomes

Rhinoplasty can address multiple concerns, including:

• Improved nasal symmetry
• Enhanced breathing function
• Balanced facial proportions
• Correction of structural abnormalities
