Understanding Rhinoplasty: Comprehensive Nasal Reshaping
Rhinoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address cosmetic and functional nasal concerns. This procedure helps patients achieve a nose that is aesthetically pleasing and harmonious with other facial features.
Comprehensive Patient Evaluation
Dr. Casso conducts a thorough examination and consultation, carefully considering each patient's unique desires and anatomical characteristics. In-office computer imaging provides valuable insights into potential cosmetic modifications.
Key Evaluation Components
- Previous surgical history
- Nasal trauma assessment
- Airway obstruction evaluation
- Seasonal allergy considerations
Functional and Cosmetic Nasal Surgery
Many rhinoplasty patients benefit from combined cosmetic and functional nasal surgery. Dr. Casso addresses potential issues such as septal deviation and nasal airway obstruction while reshaping the nose's external appearance.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia at Houston Methodist St. John Hospital, ensuring patient comfort and immediate medical support. The procedure involves carefully separating nasal tissues and making precise surgical modifications.
Surgical Modifications May Include
- Reducing bony or cartilaginous humps
- Reshaping nasal tip
- Straightening nasal septum
- Reducing enlarged turbinates
- Narrowing nasal bridge
Recovery and Results
Most patients return to light work within 5-7 days, with significant swelling and bruising subsiding over two weeks. Final rhinoplasty results typically manifest six to twelve months after surgery, allowing for complete tissue healing and refinement.
Post-Operative Guidelines
- Avoid vigorous exercise for one month
- Attend follow-up appointments
- Manage initial discomfort with prescribed medication
