Rhinoplasty Orlando, FL | Lyly Nguyen, MD

Understanding Rhinoplasty: A Comprehensive Overview

A rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a "nose job", is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to modify the size, shape, and proportions of the nose. This intricate surgery aims to enhance facial harmony and potentially improve breathing functionality. Vado Plastic Surgery's board-certified surgeons provide personalized rhinoplasty solutions tailored to individual aesthetic and functional goals.

Ideal Candidates for Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty candidates typically exhibit specific nasal characteristics that can be surgically refined:

• Disproportionate nose size relative to facial features
• Visible nasal bridge irregularities
• Asymmetrical or drooping nasal tip
• Oversized or asymmetrical nostrils
• Structural issues impacting respiratory function

Surgical Techniques

Vado Plastic Surgery offers two primary rhinoplasty approaches:

• Open Rhinoplasty: A small, strategically placed incision beneath the nose
• Closed Rhinoplasty: Incisions made internally through the nostrils

Potential Complementary Procedures

Depending on individual requirements, rhinoplasty may be combined with additional surgical interventions:

• Septoplasty: Correcting deviated septum
• Alar Base Resection: Addressing nostril size and shape
• Inferior Turbinectomy: Improving nasal airflow
