UNDERSTANDING RHINOPLASTY: ENHANCING FACIAL HARMONY

The nose is a central facial feature that significantly impacts
overall appearance and self-confidence. At SGK Plastic Surgery,
rhinoplasty offers a transformative solution for individuals seeking
to improve their nasal aesthetics and functionality.

WHAT IS RHINOPLASTY?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a sophisticated surgical
procedure designed to reshape and refine the nose's appearance. This
procedure addresses both cosmetic concerns and potential breathing
difficulties, providing patients with enhanced facial balance and
improved nasal function.

RHINOPLASTY CORRECTION CAPABILITIES

 	* Reducing overall nose size
	* Reshaping nasal tip
	* Straightening nasal bridge
	* Removing dorsal humps
	* Improving nasal symmetry
	* Adjusting nostril width

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

OPEN RHINOPLASTY

Open rhinoplasty involves three strategic incisions: two inside the
nostrils and a third across the columella. This approach provides
exceptional surgical precision and allows comprehensive nasal
restructuring.

CLOSED RHINOPLASTY

Closed rhinoplasty eliminates external incisions, minimizing visible
scarring. This technique is ideal for patients seeking minor nasal
refinements with reduced recovery complexity.

CANDIDACY FOR RHINOPLASTY

 	* Adults with fully developed nasal structure
	* Individuals in good overall health
	* Non-smokers
	* Realistic aesthetic expectations
	* Desire to enhance nasal appearance

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia, lasting
between 90 minutes and three hours. SGK Plastic Surgery's experienced
surgeons meticulously customize each procedure to achieve optimal,
natural-looking results.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Initial recovery requires approximately one to two weeks, with
complete nasal refinement visible within six to twelve months.
Patients can expect gradual improvement in nasal appearance and
potential breathing function.
