Rhinoplasty in Hunt Valley, MD | Samuel Hahn, MD, FACS

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the nose's appearance and function. The nose consists of intricate bony and cartilaginous structures that can be carefully reshaped to create a natural, balanced facial profile.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty in Hunt Valley

Rhinoplasty offers multiple aesthetic and functional advantages:

• Remove prominent nasal humps
• Improve nasal symmetry
• Correct previously broken noses
• Refine nasal tip
• Enhance facial harmony
• Improve nasal breathing
• Straighten crooked noses

Types of Rhinoplasty Procedures

Cosmetic Rhinoplasty

Cosmetic rhinoplasty focuses on improving the nose's aesthetic appearance. By carefully modifying nasal structures, surgeons can create a more harmonious facial profile that complements the patient's natural features.

Functional Rhinoplasty

Functional rhinoplasty addresses breathing difficulties by correcting structural issues such as septal deviations, narrow nasal valves, or weakened cartilage. This procedure can significantly improve respiratory function while potentially enhancing nasal appearance.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty corrects asymmetries or complications from previous nasal surgeries. This specialized procedure requires advanced surgical techniques to address both aesthetic and functional concerns.

Surgical Technique

Maryland Center for Facial Plastic Surgery offers both closed and open rhinoplasty approaches. The technique depends on the extent of required modifications, with incisions carefully placed to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery and Expectations

Rhinoplasty recovery typically involves:

• Initial one-week downtime
• Temporary swelling and bruising
• Nasal dressings removed after one week
• Gradual refinement of results over several months

Candidacy for Rhinoplasty

Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty include individuals with realistic expectations who wish to improve nasal appearance or breathing function. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Samuel Hahn will determine the most appropriate surgical approach.
