RHINOPLASTY IN WALNUT CREEK, CA

WHAT IS RHINOPLASTY?

Rhinoplasty is a precise surgical procedure designed to improve the
appearance and function of the nose. At Joseph A. Mele, MD, FACS in
Walnut Creek, patients can achieve a more proportionate and
aesthetically pleasing nasal profile.

RHINOPLASTY TECHNIQUES

REDUCTION RHINOPLASTY

Reduction rhinoplasty focuses on minimizing the size of the nose by
removing excess bone and cartilage. This technique can address issues
like dorsal humps and oversized nasal tips, creating a more balanced
facial appearance.

AUGMENTATION RHINOPLASTY

For patients with flat or underdeveloped nasal structures,
augmentation rhinoplasty uses grafting techniques to enhance nasal
projection and definition. Dr. Mele utilizes advanced autografting
methods to ensure natural-looking results.

SURGICAL APPROACHES

CLOSED VS. OPEN RHINOPLASTY

 	* Closed Rhinoplasty: Incisions hidden inside the nose
	* Open Rhinoplasty: Small external incision for enhanced
visualization
	* Technique selected based on individual patient needs

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Rhinoplasty is typically an outpatient procedure performed under
general anesthesia. The surgery duration ranges from one to four
hours, depending on the complexity of the desired modifications.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect gradual nasal refinement over several months.
Initial swelling subsides within weeks, with final results becoming
apparent after approximately one year.

COMBINED PROCEDURES

Dr. Mele often combines rhinoplasty with complementary procedures such
as septoplasty or chin augmentation to achieve comprehensive facial
harmony.

CANDIDACY CONSIDERATIONS

 	* Good overall health
	* Realistic aesthetic expectations
	* Specific nasal concerns amenable to surgical correction
