Understanding Rhinoplasty in Sarasota
The nose is a central and defining feature of the face. A slight alteration can dramatically change your appearance. Nasal surgery complements other facial procedures and addresses both aesthetic and functional concerns.
What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose by modifying bone, cartilage, and soft tissue. This versatile surgery can serve cosmetic, functional, or combined purposes.
Common Reasons for Rhinoplasty
- Cosmetic concerns about nose size, shape, or symmetry
- Age-related nasal changes
- Functional breathing difficulties
- Correction of nasal trauma or injury
Surgical Techniques
Closed Rhinoplasty
All incisions are made inside the nostrils, ideal for minor nasal reshaping with no visible external scarring.
Open Rhinoplasty
An external incision allows comprehensive visualization and modification of nasal structures, preferred for more complex reshaping.
Preparation for Rhinoplasty
- Discontinue specific medications
- Arrange post-operative support
- Stay hydrated
- Fill prescriptions in advance
Key Considerations
Rhinoplasty requires expertise to achieve optimal results. Board-certified plastic surgeons with extensive experience can help patients achieve their aesthetic and functional goals.
