Comprehensive Nose Reshaping in Central Virginia

The experienced plastic surgeons at UVA Plastic Surgery specialize in rhinoplasty, understanding the delicate aesthetic interplay between facial features. Their refined technical skills help patients from Richmond, Roanoke, and Washington, D.C. improve their nose shape and overall facial appearance.

Rhinoplasty Candidacy and Potential Improvements

Rhinoplasty is appropriate for women, men, and adolescents with completed facial growth. The procedure can address multiple aesthetic and functional concerns:

• Reducing nasal bridge humps or bumps
• Modifying nose or nostril size
• Straightening crooked nasal structures
• Repairing traumatic nose damage
• Correcting congenital nasal deformities

Surgical Approach and Technique

UVA Plastic Surgery performs rhinoplasty as an outpatient procedure using local anesthetic with IV sedation or general anesthesia. Surgeons typically utilize an open technique, making a precise incision along the columella to provide optimal surgical access and visualization.

Recovery and Results

Rhinoplasty recovery varies by individual, but most patients can expect minimal discomfort and return to regular activities within 7-10 days. Surgical splints and sutures are typically removed within a week, with final results gradually developing over several months.
