Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty) Ridgeland, MS | David Steckler MD, FACS

Understanding Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is an aesthetic treatment designed to modify the appearance of a patient's nose while potentially improving breathing function. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Steckler specializes in creating natural-looking results through precise surgical techniques.

Rhinoplasty Objectives

• Reduce nose size
• Improve nose proportions
• Correct misshaped nasal structures
• Enhance overall facial aesthetics
• Potentially improve respiratory function

Surgical Procedure Details

Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and typically involves an outpatient procedure. Dr. Steckler utilizes either open or closed surgical techniques depending on the patient's specific aesthetic goals and anatomical considerations.

Surgical Approach

The procedure may involve reducing excess cartilage, tissue, and bone, or reconstructing the nasal framework through strategic additions. Surgical precision ensures the skin is carefully repositioned over the enhanced nasal structure.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect initial bruising and swelling for several days following the procedure. Cold compresses and prescribed pain medication help manage post-surgical discomfort. Complete healing typically occurs within 2-4 weeks, during which patients should avoid strenuous activities.

Potential Benefits

Even subtle modifications can dramatically improve facial harmony and boost self-confidence. Dr. Steckler aims to create a nose that looks proportionate and natural while meeting the patient's cosmetic objectives.

Candidacy for Rhinoplasty

Ideal candidates include individuals dissatisfied with their nasal appearance or experiencing breathing difficulties. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Steckler will determine the most appropriate surgical approach.
