Understanding Rhinoplasty: Transforming Facial Aesthetics

A nose serves as the central feature of facial appearance, significantly impacting overall aesthetic balance. Genetics, injuries, or congenital conditions can influence nasal shape and structure, often affecting an individual's self-confidence. Rhinoplasty provides a surgical solution for patients seeking to reshape and refine their nasal profile.

What Is Rhinoplasty?

Commonly referred to as a "nose job", rhinoplasty is a sophisticated cosmetic surgical procedure designed to modify nasal characteristics. Key modifications include:

• Nose reduction by removing excess cartilage and bone
• Nose augmentation using cartilage grafts from ears or bone from other body regions
• Reshaping nasal structure through strategic bone and cartilage manipulation
• Adjusting the angle between the nose and upper lip

Patient Candidacy and Consultation

Determining suitability for rhinoplasty requires a comprehensive consultation with Dr. LaBruna. During this evaluation, patients discuss their medical history, aesthetic goals, and potential surgical approaches tailored to individual needs.

Surgical Techniques: Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty

Dr. LaBruna offers two primary rhinoplasty techniques: open and closed approaches. Open rhinoplasty involves an incision between the nostrils, while closed rhinoplasty utilizes internal nostril incisions. Each method offers unique advantages, with closed rhinoplasty typically producing minimal visible scarring and reduced swelling.

Recovery and Expectations

Rhinoplasty recovery varies by individual but generally requires two weeks of initial healing. Patients can expect temporary bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort. Following Dr. LaBruna's precise post-operative instructions ensures optimal healing and results.

Revision Rhinoplasty Expertise

Recognizing the complexity of nasal surgery, Dr. LaBruna specializes in revision rhinoplasty. With extensive experience correcting previous surgical outcomes, he provides patients a path to achieving their desired aesthetic results.
