Rhinoplasty Scottsdale, AZ | Dr. David C. Yao, MD

About Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a precise cosmetic procedure designed to reshape and enhance the nose's appearance. At Forma Plastic Surgery, our experienced surgeons specialize in creating aesthetically pleasing results that maintain natural facial harmony. The procedure can address various concerns, including nose size, shape, symmetry, and structural functionality.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty

• Boost overall facial confidence
• Adjust nose size and proportion
• Create symmetrical facial balance
• Refine nose tip and bridge
• Improve breathing and sinus issues
• Minimize nostril appearance

Ideal Candidates for Nose Surgery

Rhinoplasty is suitable for adults and teenagers over 16 with completed facial growth. Ideal candidates have specific aesthetic goals and realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. Dr. Yao carefully evaluates each patient's unique facial structure to develop a personalized treatment approach.

Surgical Approach

Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Surgeons may utilize open or closed techniques to carefully modify nasal bone, cartilage, and tissue. The goal is to create a balanced, natural-looking result that complements the patient's overall facial features.

Recovery and Expectations

Typical recovery spans 2-4 weeks, with initial swelling and bruising subsiding gradually. Patients receive comprehensive post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. Strenuous activities should be avoided during the initial recovery period.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty Considerations

Dr. Yao specializes in ethnic rhinoplasty, focusing on enhancing nose appearance while preserving cultural identity. Each procedure is meticulously customized to maintain natural heritage and individual characteristics.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

For minor nose modifications, injectable fillers like Restylane or JUVÉDERM can offer temporary improvements. However, surgical rhinoplasty remains the most effective solution for significant structural changes.

Insurance and Financing

While cosmetic rhinoplasty is typically not covered by insurance, medically necessary functional nose surgeries might qualify for partial reimbursement. Forma Plastic Surgery offers various financing options to make the procedure accessible.
