Nose Reshaping Surgery (Rhinoplasty) Tulsa, OK | Tulsa Surgical Arts

What is Rhinoplasty?

Cosmetic nose surgery (rhinoplasty) is an aesthetic treatment designed to enhance the nose's appearance and potentially improve breathing functionality. At Tulsa Surgical Arts, Dr. Cuzalina performs rhinoplasty using a conservative approach to produce natural-looking results.

Rhinoplasty Candidacy

Rhinoplasty is suitable for adults and teenagers over 16 years old who:

• Feel uncomfortable with their nose's appearance
• Want to address specific nasal concerns
• Experience breathing difficulties
• Have facial structural issues like a cleft palate

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Cuzalina utilizes two primary surgical approaches:

• Open rhinoplasty
• Closed (endonasal) rhinoplasty

Benefits of Rhinoplasty

Patients can experience multiple advantages, including:

• Improved breathing
• Enhanced facial proportions
• Increased self-confidence
• Potential relief from structural nasal issues

Procedure Overview

Rhinoplasty is typically performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. The surgical process involves carefully reducing or restructuring cartilage, tissue, and bone to achieve the desired nasal shape and function.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery typically requires 2-4 weeks. Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising, which gradually subsides. Follow-up appointments within 48-72 hours help monitor the healing process and ensure optimal results.

Potential Procedure Combinations

Rhinoplasty can be combined with other facial procedures like chin augmentation or eyelid surgery to create a comprehensive facial enhancement strategy.

Your Surgical Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Cuzalina will comprehensively assess your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine the most appropriate surgical approach for your unique needs.
