Nose Reshaping Surgery (Rhinoplasty) in Savannah, GA | Meghan K. McGovern, MD

Understanding Rhinoplasty in Savannah

Rhinoplasty is a sophisticated facial plastic surgery procedure designed to change the appearance of the nose to create a more aesthetic and balanced facial profile. At RenewalMD, the practice offers minimally invasive techniques that provide minimal discomfort, reduced recovery time, and less bruising.

Common Reasons for Rhinoplasty

Patients seek rhinoplasty for various aesthetic and functional reasons, including:

• Addressing an overly large or small nose
• Removing large bumps or humps on the nose bridge
• Correcting a drooping nasal tip
• Straightening a crooked nasal bridge
• Repairing nasal injuries
• Improving nasal breathing and structural obstructions

Surgical Procedure Overview

The rhinoplasty procedure is performed under general anesthesia with a strategic approach to minimize visible scarring. A small incision is made within the nostril, allowing the plastic surgeon to carefully reshape the underlying cartilage, bone, and tissue to achieve the desired nose profile.

Surgical Technique and Recovery

Typical modifications during rhinoplasty may include hump removal, nose tip refinement, and slight elevation. The nose is often narrowed during the procedure. Patients can expect a splint and initial packing to be removed by the fifth day, with most individuals becoming presentable within one to ten days.

Insurance Considerations

For patients experiencing breathing difficulties, insurance may cover a portion of the rhinoplasty procedure. Dr. McGovern can provide detailed guidance during the initial consultation.
