Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty) in Wichita, KS | Dr. Nataliya Biskup

Understanding Rhinoplasty: Enhancing Facial Harmony

A nose is a prominent facial feature that significantly impacts overall facial appearance. When out of proportion, it can affect self-confidence and potentially create breathing challenges. Rhinoplasty offers a precise surgical solution to address both aesthetic and functional concerns.

Comprehensive Rhinoplasty Overview

Rhinoplasty is a highly individualized surgical procedure designed to modify the nose's shape, size, and structure. The treatment can address multiple concerns, including:

• Nose size and width
• Bridge profile irregularities
• Nasal tip refinement
• Nostril symmetry
• Deviated septum correction

Procedure Details

The Plastic Surgery Center offers two primary rhinoplasty techniques:

• Closed Procedure: Incisions hidden inside the nose
• Open Procedure: Small incision on the underside of the nose

Typical Procedure Characteristics

• Procedure Length: 2-3 hours
• Anesthesia: General anesthesia
• Recovery Time: 1-2 weeks
• Treatments Needed: Typically one procedure

Ideal Candidates

Ideal rhinoplasty candidates are healthy individuals who:

• Are non-smokers
• Have realistic aesthetic expectations
• Seek functional or cosmetic nose improvements
• Are not currently experiencing medical conditions that impair healing

Recovery Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves:

• Initial swelling and bruising
• Potential temporary discomfort
• Gradual refinement of results over 12 months
• Protective measures for 4-6 months post-surgery

Potential Enhancements

Rhinoplasty results can be further refined through complementary treatments like laser resurfacing or chemical peels to improve skin tone and surface appearance.
