Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty) in Louisville, KY | Digenis Plastic Surgery/Alexander Digenis, MD

Understanding Rhinoplasty Procedure

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as nose surgery, is a sophisticated plastic surgery procedure designed to reshape and refine the nose's aesthetic and functional characteristics. This transformative surgery can address multiple nasal concerns, including size reduction, tip refinement, nostril narrowing, and angle adjustment.

Surgical Procedure Details

A typical rhinoplasty procedure takes approximately two to three hours and involves precise surgical techniques. During surgery, the nasal skin is carefully separated from its underlying bone and cartilage framework, which is then meticulously sculpted to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.

Surgical Approach and Technique

Most rhinoplasty procedures at Digenis Plastic Surgery are performed with internal nostril incisions, minimizing visible scarring. A supportive splint is applied post-surgery to help maintain the new nasal shape and facilitate proper healing.

Recovery and Postoperative Care

Patients can expect some initial swelling and mild discomfort following rhinoplasty, which can be effectively managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients resume normal activities within two days and experience significant improvements in nasal appearance and function.
