Nose Reshaping Surgery (Rhinoplasty) in St. Petersburg, FL

Understanding Rhinoplasty: Enhancing Facial Harmony

A nose is a prominent facial feature that significantly contributes to overall facial proportions, symmetry, and balance. Rhinoplasty is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to modify the nose's structure and appearance through precise anatomical adjustments.

Personalized Surgical Approach

Allure Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery's double board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Percy Lo, recognizes that rhinoplasty is a highly individualized procedure. Each patient receives a comprehensive consultation to develop a tailored surgical strategy addressing their unique anatomical characteristics and aesthetic goals.

Surgical Techniques: Closed vs. Open Procedures

Dr. Lo offers two primary rhinoplasty approaches:

• Closed Rhinoplasty:
• Open Rhinoplasty:

Gender-Specific Considerations

Rhinoplasty techniques differ subtly between male and female patients. Men typically have thicker facial skin, requiring different surgical nuances compared to female patients. The procedure aims to maintain individual aesthetic preferences while ensuring natural-looking results.

Recovery and Results

Post-surgical recovery involves initial support through internal and external splints. While initial swelling subsides within weeks, complete nasal refinement can take up to a year, with gradual improvements becoming apparent throughout the healing process.

Determining the Right Time for Rhinoplasty

Ideal rhinoplasty candidates must have completed facial development and possess realistic expectations. Dr. Lo carefully evaluates each patient's medical history, motivations, and emotional readiness before recommending the procedure.

Potential Benefits of Rhinoplasty

Beyond aesthetic improvements, rhinoplasty can enhance self-confidence, address breathing difficulties, and create a more balanced facial appearance. The procedure is tailored to each patient's unique anatomical structure and cosmetic objectives.
