NOSE RESHAPING SURGERY (RHINOPLASTY) ALBUQUERQUE, NM | DR. MIGUEL L.
GALLEGOS, MD

UNDERSTANDING RHINOPLASTY IN ALBUQUERQUE

Exceptional nose surgery requires more than medical knowledge—it
demands a sophisticated understanding of facial proportions and
artistic vision. At Hermosa Plastic Surgery in Albuquerque, NM,
rhinoplasty is performed to enhance nasal aesthetics by creating
balanced facial proportions and a more attractive overall appearance.

WHAT IS RHINOPLASTY?

Rhinoplasty is an aesthetic treatment designed to improve the shape
and size of the nose while potentially addressing functional concerns.
Dr. Miguel Gallegos performs rhinoplasty with a conservative approach
to produce natural-looking results that can dramatically transform a
patient's facial profile.

POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF RHINOPLASTY SURGERY

 	* Address concerns about nose size, shape, and symmetry
	* Correct functional issues like deviated septum
	* Fully customizable to individual patient needs
	* Restore facial harmony
	* Boost self-confidence
	* Provide potentially permanent aesthetic improvements

SURGICAL APPROACHES TO RHINOPLASTY

OPEN RHINOPLASTY TECHNIQUE

The open approach involves a small incision in the tissue dividing the
nostrils, allowing direct access to nasal bone and cartilage. This
technique is particularly beneficial for significant reshaping or
reducing prominent nasal features.

CLOSED RHINOPLASTY TECHNIQUE

In closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made inside the nostrils,
eliminating external scarring. This approach is suitable for patients
requiring more minor adjustments to nasal structure.

CANDIDATE CONSIDERATIONS FOR RHINOPLASTY

Ideal rhinoplasty candidates seek to address aesthetic concerns while
maintaining their natural facial identity. Potential improvements
include smoothing irregular nose bridges, refining nasal tips,
improving breathing, and reducing nostril or overall nose size.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising for 1-2 weeks
following surgery. Most individuals return to normal activities within
a week, with full results becoming apparent after several months. Dr.
Gallegos provides comprehensive post-operative care to ensure optimal
healing.

ETHNIC RHINOPLASTY CONSIDERATIONS

Dr. Gallegos specializes in ethnic rhinoplasty, understanding the
importance of preserving cultural identity while achieving desired
aesthetic improvements. Each procedure is personalized to respect the
patient's unique facial characteristics.

COST AND INSURANCE

Rhinoplasty costs typically start at $5,000, varying based on
procedure complexity. While cosmetic procedures are not typically
covered by insurance, functional rhinoplasty addressing medical issues
may qualify for partial reimbursement.
