Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
If you’re unhappy with the shape, size, or symmetry of your nose, Dr. Daria Hamrah, a top facial plastic surgeon, specializes in rhinoplasty (nose job surgery) to enhance facial harmony and confidence. Whether you’re looking to refine the bridge, tip, or nostrils or correct breathing issues, Dr. Hamrah’s expert surgical techniques ensure natural-looking, balanced results.
What Does Rhinoplasty Do?
Rhinoplasty, or a nose job, is a cosmetic and functional nasal surgery that reshapes the nose to enhance facial balance and improve nasal function. This procedure can:
- Reduce or increase nose size for better proportion
- Refine the bridge or tip for a more sculpted look
- Adjust the nostril shape for improved symmetry
- Straighten a crooked nose for a balanced profile
- Correct breathing issues caused by structural concerns
By improving both aesthetic and functional concerns, rhinoplasty surgery enhances your facial features and self-confidence.
How Does Rhinoplasty Work?
Depending on your needs, Dr. Hamrah performs two types of rhinoplasty:
- Closed Rhinoplasty (or Preservation Rhinoplasty): Incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scars.
- Open Rhinoplasty: Involves an additional incision on the columella (the area between the nostrils). This technique is typically used for more complex cases and allows for greater access to the underlying structure.
Once the nasal bone and cartilage are reshaped, the skin is re-draped for a smooth, natural finish. The procedure typically takes two hours, with recovery lasting a few weeks.
What to Expect During Recovery
After rhinoplasty, you can expect:
- Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which typically subside within 1-2 weeks
- Temporary bleeding or congestion as the nose heals
- Bandaging and splints to protect the nose during recovery
Following Dr. Hamrah’s post-op care instructions is essential for optimal healing and long-lasting results.
Am I a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for rhinoplasty if you:
- Have a fully developed nasal bone (typically age 15 for girls, 17 for boys)
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations for the outcome of the surgery
- Want to address concerns about the shape, size, or function of your nose
During your consultation, Dr. Hamrah will take the time to understand your goals, assess your anatomy, and create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your expectations.
