Nose Reshaping Surgery (Rhinoplasty) Annandale, VA | Dr. Khalique S. Zahir, MD

Understanding Rhinoplasty: Enhancing Facial Harmony

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as nose surgery, is a precision surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance and proportion of the nose. This transformative treatment enhances facial harmony and can significantly boost self-confidence by addressing aesthetic and structural concerns.

Comprehensive Nose Reshaping Techniques

Dr. Zahir offers two primary rhinoplasty approaches:

• Closed Procedure: Incisions hidden inside the nose
• Open Procedure: Small incision across the columella (tissue between nostrils)

What Rhinoplasty Can Address

Nose surgery can modify multiple aesthetic aspects, including:

• Overall nose size and width
• Nasal profile and tip contour
• Nostril symmetry and proportion
• Structural asymmetries

Surgical Procedure and Recovery

During rhinoplasty, the underlying nasal structure is carefully sculpted to achieve the desired shape. Nasal skin and tissue are then delicately repositioned, and incisions are meticulously closed. Patients may experience nasal packing, which is typically removed within three days post-surgery.

Expected Results and Timeline

Rhinoplasty results evolve over time. While initial changes may be noticeable immediately, optimal outcomes typically emerge 6-8 weeks after surgery. Complete refinement can continue for 6-12 months, acknowledging that cartilage is a dynamic, growing tissue.
