Nose Reshaping Surgery (Rhinoplasty) Las Vegas, NV | Terrence Higgins, MD FACS

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a precise aesthetic treatment designed to modify the size and appearance of the nose. Beyond cosmetic enhancement, this procedure can also address functional breathing issues. Plastic Surgery Vegas specializes in creating subtle, natural-looking nose transformations that dramatically improve facial harmony.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty Surgery

Rhinoplasty offers comprehensive benefits for patients seeking facial improvement:

• Correction of deviated septum
• Precise adjustments to nose size, shape, and profile
• Minimal post-procedure recovery time
• Enhanced overall facial balance

Candidacy for Nose Surgery

Both men and women may be excellent rhinoplasty candidates. Ideal patients have specific aesthetic concerns about their nose and realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. Facial growth should be complete, particularly for patients under 21 years old.

Surgical Technique and Approach

Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Surgeons utilize either open or closed surgical approaches, carefully removing or reshaping cartilage and bone to achieve the desired nasal configuration. Sutures are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery and Healing Process

Patients can expect initial bruising and swelling for approximately one week following surgery. Pain management and ice packs help minimize discomfort. Most individuals return to normal activities within 2-4 weeks, with careful adherence to post-operative instructions.

Comprehensive Nose Surgery Considerations

Rhinoplasty can address various concerns, including ethnic-specific modifications, breathing improvements, and facial proportionality. Potential patients should discuss their unique goals during a personalized consultation.

Frequently Addressed Questions

Patients often inquire about insurance coverage, non-surgical alternatives, and combining procedures. A comprehensive consultation with Plastic Surgery Vegas will provide detailed insights into these considerations.
