Understanding Rhinoplasty: A Personalized Approach to Nose Reshaping

Few facial features impact overall appearance more significantly than the nose. At Stratis Gayner Plastic Surgery, Dr. Scott Gayner performs rhinoplasty with the goal of producing natural, harmonious results that enhance each patient's unique facial characteristics.

What Can Rhinoplasty Achieve?

Rhinoplasty is a versatile surgical procedure designed to improve both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the nose. Potential enhancements include:

• Decreasing or increasing nose size
• Reshaping nasal structure
• Correcting crookedness or asymmetry
• Refining nose tip and projection
• Smoothing nasal bridge humps
• Adjusting nostril width and shape

Ethnic Rhinoplasty: Preserving Individual Heritage

Dr. Gayner specializes in ethnic rhinoplasty, a nuanced approach that reshapes the nose while maintaining the patient's unique ethnic characteristics. This personalized technique ensures natural-looking results that honor individual facial features.

Surgical Techniques: Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty

Dr. Gayner offers two primary rhinoplasty techniques, each tailored to the patient's specific needs:

• Open Rhinoplasty:
• Closed Rhinoplasty:

Recovery and Expectations

Rhinoplasty recovery varies by individual, but patients can generally expect:

• 2-3 days: Peak swelling and bruising
• 1 week: Splint removal, return to work/school
• 2 weeks: Gradual exercise resumption
• 3-12 months: Progressive refinement of results

Combining Procedures for Comprehensive Facial Enhancement

Dr. Gayner can combine rhinoplasty with complementary procedures such as eyelid surgery or facial liposuction to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
