Nose Reshaping Surgery (Rhinoplasty) Evans, GA | Dr. Achih H. Chen, MD, FACS, FAAFPRS

Understanding Rhinoplasty: Personalized Nose Contouring

The shape of the nose can often be a source of self-consciousness for individuals who feel that it is not proportionate to their other facial features. Facial plastic surgeon Dr. Achih H. Chen specializes in rhinoplasty procedures designed to reshape and harmonize nasal features with overall facial aesthetics.

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a sophisticated surgical procedure aimed at reshaping the external nose. The ultimate goal is not to create a single "perfect" nose, but to craft a nose that seamlessly integrates with an individual's unique facial characteristics.

Key Rhinoplasty Objectives

• Enhance facial harmony and balance
• Create natural-looking nasal contours
• Improve facial proportions
• Maintain individual aesthetic identity

Surgical Approaches

Dr. Chen employs two primary rhinoplasty techniques to address individual patient needs:

• Endonasal Approach (Closed Rhinoplasty): Uses intranasal incisions
• External Approach (Open Rhinoplasty): Includes a small columellar incision

Surgical Procedure and Recovery

The rhinoplasty procedure is typically performed under deep sedation, ensuring patient comfort. Postoperative recovery involves minimal discomfort, with most patients experiencing mild bruising and swelling that resolves within 1-2 weeks.

Recovery Timeline

• Nasal splint removal: 6-7 days post-surgery
• Return to light activities: Within a few days
• Resume vigorous exercise: After 2 weeks
• Avoid contact sports: 4 weeks post-surgery
