Advanced Rhinoplasty Techniques

Malone Facial Plastic Surgery offers two primary rhinoplasty approaches:

Open Rhinoplasty

A technique involving a small external incision that allows comprehensive nasal reshaping with minimal visible scarring. This approach provides maximum precision for complex nasal corrections.

Closed (Scarless) Rhinoplasty

A minimally invasive technique performed entirely through internal nasal incisions. This method reduces healing time and leaves no external scars, ideal for patients seeking subtle refinements.

Candidacy for Nose Reshaping

Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty include individuals in good physical health seeking to improve nasal appearance or function. Dr. Malone conducts comprehensive consultations to determine the most appropriate approach for each patient's unique needs.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising, with most social activities resuming within two to three weeks. Full results gradually develop over six months, revealing a refined and natural-looking nasal contour.

Typical Recovery Timeline

• First week: Nasal splint and initial healing
• 2-3 weeks: Return to normal social activities
• 3-6 weeks: Gradual return to full physical activities
