Understanding Rhinoplasty in Tallahassee

Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a "nose job," is a precise surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose and enhance facial aesthetics. At Southeastern Plastic Surgery, patients from Tallahassee and surrounding areas like Destin, Dothan, and Valdosta can achieve improved nasal appearance and function.

Rhinoplasty Procedure Overview

Nose surgery can address various aesthetic and functional concerns, including:

• Reducing or enlarging nose size
• Modifying nose tip shape
• Adjusting nasal bridge contours
• Narrowing nostril width
• Correcting breathing difficulties

Surgical Technique

Dr. Chris DeRosier performs rhinoplasty using either open or closed techniques. During the procedure, the nasal skin is carefully separated from its underlying bone and cartilage framework. Each component is then precisely sculpted to achieve the desired shape before the skin is repositioned.

Candidates for Rhinoplasty in Tallahassee

Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty include individuals seeking to:

• Address aesthetic concerns about nose size or shape
• Correct structural issues affecting breathing
• Improve facial symmetry and proportion
• Resolve congenital or post-injury nasal deformities

Procedure Details

A typical rhinoplasty procedure takes approximately two to three hours, depending on the complexity of the surgical plan. Patients can expect to return to sedentary activities within one week following surgery.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from rhinoplasty varies by individual but generally involves minimal discomfort and gradual resumption of normal activities. Patients will receive comprehensive post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
