Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty) in Baton Rouge, LA

Understanding Rhinoplasty: Enhancing Facial Harmony

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as nose surgery, is a sophisticated cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance and proportion of the nose. This surgical technique not only enhances facial aesthetics but can also correct structural abnormalities that impair breathing.

Goals of Nose Surgery

Rhinoplasty can address multiple aesthetic and functional concerns, including:

• Modifying nose size relative to facial structures
• Adjusting nose width at the bridge
• Correcting nasal profile with visible humps or depressions
• Refining nasal tip shape and projection
• Reducing or reshaping nostril size
• Correcting nasal asymmetry

Ideal Candidates for Rhinoplasty

Patients considering nose surgery should meet specific criteria to ensure optimal results:

• Completed facial growth (typically 13 years or older)
• Good overall physical health
• Non-smokers
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Comprehensive Rhinoplasty Procedure

Hanemann Plastic Surgery performs rhinoplasty using advanced surgical techniques tailored to each patient's unique anatomical needs.

Surgical Approach

Two primary surgical methods are employed:

• Closed Procedure: Incisions hidden inside the nose
• Open Procedure: Small incision across the columella

Key Procedural Steps

• Anesthesia administration
• Strategic tissue elevation
• Precise nasal structure reshaping
• Potential cartilage grafting
• Septum correction if needed
• Incision closure

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial healing within one week, with complete refinement potentially taking up to a year. Temporary post-surgical support includes nasal splints and internal tubes to facilitate proper healing.

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like all surgical procedures, rhinoplasty involves potential risks such as infection, asymmetry, and healing complications. Thorough pre-surgical consultation helps mitigate these concerns.
