Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty) Sarasota, FL | Braun H. Graham, MD, FACS

Understanding Rhinoplasty in Sarasota

The nose is a central and defining feature of the face. A precise surgical modification can dramatically transform facial aesthetics and potentially improve nasal function. Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center offers comprehensive rhinoplasty procedures designed to address both cosmetic concerns and functional breathing challenges.

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a sophisticated surgical procedure that reshapes the nose by strategically modifying bone, cartilage, and soft tissue. This procedure can serve multiple purposes, including:

• Aesthetic enhancement of nasal proportions
• Correction of structural abnormalities
• Improvement of breathing functionality
• Restoration after traumatic injury

Common Reasons for Nasal Surgery

Patients seek rhinoplasty for various compelling reasons:

• Dissatisfaction with congenital nasal characteristics
• Age-related nasal changes
• Functional respiratory difficulties
• Correction of previous injury or trauma

Surgical Techniques: Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty

Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center offers two primary rhinoplasty approaches, selected based on individual patient needs:

Closed Rhinoplasty

An minimally invasive technique with incisions hidden inside the nostrils, ideal for minor nasal modifications with no external scarring.

Open Rhinoplasty

A comprehensive approach providing surgeons maximum visualization and precision, particularly beneficial for complex nasal restructuring.

Preparing for Your Rhinoplasty Procedure

Successful rhinoplasty requires careful preparation and collaboration between patient and surgeon. Key preparation steps include:

• Comprehensive medical history disclosure
• Medication management
• Arranging post-surgical support
• Pre-surgical hydration
• Prescription preparation

Recovery and Results

While initial improvements are noticeable shortly after surgery, complete rhinoplasty results typically emerge over several months. Patients can expect gradual refinement of nasal contours as healing progresses.
