Understanding Rhinoplasty in San Antonio
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a precise surgical procedure designed to enhance facial harmony by reshaping the nose. Dr. Michael Ablavsky specializes in creating natural-looking results that complement a patient's unique facial features.
Rhinoplasty Candidacy
Most patients considering rhinoplasty typically have specific aesthetic or functional concerns about their nose, such as:
- Dorsal hump on the nasal bridge
- Asymmetrical or crooked nasal structure
- Disproportionate nasal tip
- Breathing difficulties due to structural issues
Surgical Techniques
Dr. Ablavsky primarily performs open rhinoplasty, a technique that provides comprehensive visualization of nasal structures. This approach allows for precise modifications while ensuring minimal scarring.
Procedure Details
- Anesthesia: General
- Procedure Duration: 2-4 hours
- Recovery Time: Approximately 1-2 weeks
Recovery and Expectations
Patients can anticipate initial swelling and bruising during the first two weeks post-surgery. Complete healing and final results typically manifest over 6-12 months, with gradual refinement of nasal contours.
Age and Candidacy Considerations
Rhinoplasty is recommended for patients with fully developed nasal structures, typically around age 17 for females and 18 for males. Individual assessment determines precise candidacy.
Functional and Cosmetic Benefits
Beyond aesthetic improvements, rhinoplasty can address structural issues affecting breathing, providing both cosmetic enhancement and potential functional respiratory improvements.
