Understanding Rhinoplasty: Enhancing Facial Harmony

Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery, is a precise cosmetic procedure designed to improve the aesthetic appearance and functional performance of the nose. The primary goal is to create balance between the nose and other facial features while potentially addressing breathing challenges.

Ideal Candidates for Nose Reshaping

Patients considering rhinoplasty may have specific aesthetic or functional concerns, including:

• Disproportionate nose size relative to facial features
• Visible nasal bridge irregularities
• Wide nasal appearance
• Drooping or enlarged nasal tip
• Asymmetrical nose structure
• Breathing difficulties

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Gerut specializes in two primary rhinoplasty techniques: open and closed. The open technique involves a small incision at the nose base, allowing precise structural modifications. The closed technique involves internal modifications without external incisions.

Rhinoplasty Procedure and Recovery

Performed as an outpatient procedure in a fully accredited surgical facility, rhinoplasty involves careful manipulation of nasal structures under general anesthesia. Post-surgery, patients can expect a protective splint and minimal discomfort during recovery.

Recovery Insights

Recovery varies by individual but typically involves:

• Minimal pain with potential soreness
• Protective nasal splint for one week
• Gradual nose transformation over 12 months
• Restricted physical activities for initial weeks

Long-Term Rhinoplasty Results

Rhinoplasty results are generally permanent, with only natural aging potentially affecting nasal appearance. Dr. Gerut's approach ensures natural-looking outcomes that harmonize with individual facial features.
