Benefits of Rhinoplasty

Procedure Overview
Rhinoplasty is typically performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. The surgical process involves carefully reducing or restructuring cartilage, tissue, and bone to achieve the desired nasal shape and function.
Recovery and Expectations
Recovery typically requires 2-4 weeks. Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising, which gradually subsides. Follow-up appointments within 48-72 hours help monitor the healing process and ensure optimal results.
Potential Procedure Combinations
Rhinoplasty can be combined with other facial procedures like chin augmentation or eyelid surgery to create a comprehensive facial enhancement strategy.
