Understanding Rhinoplasty: Enhancing Facial Harmony

The nose is a central facial feature that significantly impacts overall appearance and self-confidence. At SGK Plastic Surgery, rhinoplasty offers a transformative solution for individuals seeking to improve their nasal aesthetics and functionality.

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to reshape and refine the nose's appearance. This procedure addresses both cosmetic concerns and potential breathing difficulties, providing patients with enhanced facial balance and improved nasal function.

Surgical Techniques

Open Rhinoplasty

Open rhinoplasty involves three strategic incisions: two inside the nostrils and a third across the columella. This approach provides exceptional surgical precision and allows comprehensive nasal restructuring.

Closed Rhinoplasty

Closed rhinoplasty eliminates external incisions, minimizing visible scarring. This technique is ideal for patients seeking minor nasal refinements with reduced recovery complexity.

Candidacy for Rhinoplasty

• Adults with fully developed nasal structure
• Individuals in good overall health
• Non-smokers
• Realistic aesthetic expectations
• Desire to enhance nasal appearance

Procedure Overview

Rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia, lasting between 90 minutes and three hours. SGK Plastic Surgery's experienced surgeons meticulously customize each procedure to achieve optimal, natural-looking results.

Recovery and Results

Initial recovery requires approximately one to two weeks, with complete nasal refinement visible within six to twelve months. Patients can expect gradual improvement in nasal appearance and potential breathing function.
