SURGERY CENTER: MICHAEL R. MACDONALD, M.D.

UNDERSTANDING RHINOPLASTY: TRANSFORMING NASAL AESTHETICS AND FUNCTION

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a sophisticated surgical
procedure designed to reshape and refine the nose's appearance and
functionality. At Aesthetic Surgery Center, Dr. Michael R. Macdonald
specializes in delivering precise, artistically balanced nasal
transformations tailored to each patient's unique facial anatomy.

ARE YOU A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR NASAL SURGERY?

Ideal rhinoplasty candidates typically experience one or more of the
following nasal concerns:

 	* Prominent nasal hump or bump on the bridge
	* Drooping or undefined nasal tip
	* Wide or asymmetrical nasal bridge
	* Breathing difficulties due to structural issues
	* Desire to refine overall nasal proportions

TYPES OF RHINOPLASTY PROCEDURES

1. PRIMARY RHINOPLASTY

Primary rhinoplasty focuses on improving the aesthetic contours of the
nose, addressing structural elements through precise surgical
techniques. It represents one of the most popular cosmetic surgical
procedures worldwide.

2. REVISION RHINOPLASTY

For patients seeking refinement after previous nasal surgery, revision
rhinoplasty offers advanced corrective options. Dr. Macdonald is
renowned for successfully managing complex revision cases, often
receiving referrals from other surgeons.

3. FUNCTIONAL NASAL SURGERY

Beyond cosmetic improvements, rhinoplasty can resolve critical
functional issues like breathing obstruction, chronic snoring, and
sleep apnea. Procedures such as septoplasty and turbinate reduction
may be recommended to enhance nasal airway performance.

SURGICAL APPROACH AND CONSIDERATIONS

Dr. Macdonald employs meticulous surgical techniques, typically
utilizing a closed intranasal approach that leaves no external
scarring. The procedure involves carefully re-contouring the nasal
framework to achieve balanced, harmonious results.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

 	* Initial splint and surgical tape placement for 7 days
	* Expected swelling and bruising for 7-14 days
	* Return to non-strenuous activities within 7-10 days
	* Gradual refinement of results over 6-12 months

CHOOSING A RHINOPLASTY EXPERT

Selecting a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with specialized
expertise is crucial. Dr. Macdonald's dual board certification in
facial plastic surgery and otolaryngology ensures comprehensive
understanding of both aesthetic and functional nasal considerations.

WHAT IS RHINOPLASTY?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as nasal surgery, is a precision surgical
procedure designed to aesthetically enhance, reconstruct, or correct
the shape and form of the nose. This transformative procedure can
involve reducing size, narrowing width, altering internal structures,
and reshaping nasal cartilage.

THE ART AND SCIENCE OF NASAL SURGERY

Rhinoplasty represents one of the most complex and nuanced plastic
surgery procedures, requiring exceptional artistic vision and
technical skill. The goal is to achieve the patient's desired outcome
while maintaining natural facial harmony and proportions.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR RHINOPLASTY

Patients may be excellent rhinoplasty candidates if they experience
the following nasal characteristics:

 	* Bulbous or excessively wide nasal tip
	* Drooping or overly elevated nose tip
	* Extreme nostril flaring
	* Disproportionate nose bridge
	* Asymmetrical or crooked nose structure

COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO NASAL SURGERY

Dr. Deschamps-Braly considers individual facial features and ethnic
background to ensure a natural, harmonious result that complements
each patient's unique facial structure.

RHINOPLASTY RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Following surgery, patients can expect a seven-day period with a
protective nasal splint. Minor swelling and discomfort are typical,
but can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Most
patients see significant improvements within one month, with complete
results apparent at six months post-operation.

REVISION RHINOPLASTY EXPERTISE

The clinic specializes in corrective nasal surgeries for patients
unsatisfied with previous procedures, focusing on achieving aesthetic
balance and functional improvement.
