Comprehensive Rhinoplasty Overview

Scottsdale Plastic Surgeons offers expert rhinoplasty procedures tailored to each patient's unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. Board-certified surgeon Dr. Paul Holden specializes in nasal surgery that considers individual desires, nasal function, and tissue limitations.

Rhinoplasty Benefits and Objectives

Rhinoplasty can provide multiple aesthetic and functional improvements, including:

• Refining nose tip shape
• Enhancing facial balance
• Reshaping nostrils
• Improving nasal breathing passages
• Adjusting nose size and proportion
• Correcting structural irregularities

Surgical Techniques

Open Rhinoplasty

Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision between the nostrils, allowing surgeons comprehensive access to nasal structures. This technique enables precise modifications with minimal scarring, typically measuring 2-3 mm.

Closed Rhinoplasty

Closed rhinoplasty is ideal for patients requiring minor nasal adjustments. Incisions are made internally, ensuring no visible external scarring and facilitating quicker recovery.

Patient Considerations

Candidates for rhinoplasty must be at least 16 years old to ensure complete nasal development. Patients should have realistic expectations about potential facial changes and understand the procedure's comprehensive approach.

Procedure Details

Rhinoplasty is performed under monitored anesthesia care, typically lasting 1-4 hours. Patients can expect initial bruising and swelling, with final nasal contours developing over approximately one year.

Alternative Options

For minor nasal refinements, non-surgical "injection rhinoplasty" using dermal fillers might provide temporary aesthetic improvements without surgical intervention.
