Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty) Evans, GA | The Georgia Center for Facial Plastic Surgery

Understanding Rhinoplasty in Evans, Georgia

The shape of the nose can significantly impact facial aesthetics and self-confidence. At The Georgia Center for Facial Plastic Surgery, facial plastic surgeon Dr. Achih H. Chen specializes in rhinoplasty procedures designed to enhance facial harmony and aesthetic balance.

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a precision surgical procedure that reshapes the external nose to complement an individual's unique facial features. The ultimate goal is not a universal "perfect" nose, but a personalized nose that harmonizes with the patient's facial structure.

Rhinoplasty Approaches

Dr. Chen offers two primary rhinoplasty techniques:

• Endonasal Approach (Closed Rhinoplasty): Uses intranasal incisions inside the nose
• External Approach (Open Rhinoplasty): Includes a small, hidden skin incision between the nostrils

Modern Rhinoplasty Techniques

Contemporary rhinoplasty techniques have dramatically evolved from older, more artificial-looking procedures. Modern approaches focus on creating a natural-appearing nose that complements facial features and allows other facial elements to remain the focal point.

Surgical Procedure Details

The rhinoplasty procedure is typically performed under deep sedation. Dr. Chen carefully selects the most appropriate surgical approach based on individual anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Recovery and Expectations

Rhinoplasty recovery varies by individual, but patients can generally expect:

• Minimal postoperative discomfort
• Potential bruising and swelling around lower eyelids
• Nasal splint removal after 6-7 days
• Return to light activities within a few days
• Resumption of vigorous exercise after 2 weeks
