Nose Reshaping Rhinoplasty La Jolla, CA | Dr. Jeffrey Umansky

Understanding Rhinoplasty in La Jolla

Rhinoplasty enhances facial harmony and the proportions of the nose while addressing potential structural concerns. At Umansky Plastic Surgery, the procedure is carefully customized to complement each patient's unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose. This versatile treatment can address multiple concerns, including:

• Visible nasal bridge bumps
• Droopy or enlarged nasal tip
• Off-center or crooked nose structure
• Asymmetry from previous injuries
• Breathing difficulties

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Umansky offers two primary rhinoplasty approaches: closed and open techniques. The closed approach uses internal nasal passage incisions, while the open technique includes a small columellar incision for more extensive modifications.

Recovery and Healing

Recovery typically spans 2-4 weeks, with most patients returning to work within 7-10 days. Initial swelling and bruising gradually subside, with final results becoming apparent after 6-12 months.

Potential Risks and Considerations

As with any surgical procedure, rhinoplasty involves potential risks. Patients should discuss individual concerns and expectations thoroughly during their consultation.

Key Considerations

• Procedure performed under general anesthesia
• Minimal external scarring
• Permanent results
• Recommended for patients over 16 (females) and 18 (males)
