Nose Reshaping Rhinoplasty Stamford, CT | Dr. Chang Soo Kim, MD | Plastic Surgery

Understanding Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose, addressing both cosmetic and functional concerns. Patients may seek this procedure to modify their nasal profile, reduce a dorsal hump, improve breathing difficulties, or enhance facial symmetry.

Ideal Candidates for Rhinoplasty

Suitable candidates for rhinoplasty typically demonstrate:

• Specific aesthetic goals for nasal contour
• Good overall physical health
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Potential respiratory improvement needs

Surgical Technique: Closed Rhinoplasty

Dr. Chang Soo Kim specializes in closed rhinoplasty, a technique that involves internal incisions to minimize external scarring. This approach allows for precise modifications to nasal structure, including:

• Dorsal hump reduction
• Cartilage refinement
• Nasal tip repositioning
• Nostril narrowing

Procedure and Recovery

Rhinoplasty is performed under anesthesia with a carefully planned approach. Patients can expect minimal discomfort and structured post-operative care, including:

• External splint protection for one week
• Gradual swelling and bruising reduction
• Guided healing process

Post-Surgical Care Considerations

Patients will receive comprehensive post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and aesthetic results. Temporary swelling and bruising are normal and typically resolve within one to two weeks.
