Nose Reshaping Surgery (Rhinoplasty) Redlands, CA | Todd C. Rau, MD

Understanding Rhinoplasty Procedures

Rhinoplasty is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to reshape and refine the nose's appearance and function. This transformative surgery can address multiple aesthetic and functional concerns, including reducing or increasing nose size, modifying nasal tip shape, narrowing nostril width, and correcting breathing difficulties.

Comprehensive Nose Reshaping Techniques

Dr. Todd C. Rau approaches each rhinoplasty with precision and individualized care, considering the patient's entire facial structure. The procedure involves recontouring underlying cartilage and bone to achieve desired aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Common Rhinoplasty Modifications

• Nose Tip Refinement: Adjusting cartilage to elevate or reshape the nasal tip
• Bridge Contouring: Removing or reducing dorsal humps
• Nostril Narrowing: Precise tissue removal to optimize nasal base width
• Septal Correction: Improving nasal angle and structural alignment

Surgical Procedure Details

Rhinoplasty typically takes 1-2 hours and can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Most incisions are made internally, ensuring minimal visible scarring. The specific technique depends on individual anatomical considerations and desired outcomes.

Factors Influencing Rhinoplasty Results

Skin thickness plays a crucial role in surgical outcomes. Thick skin provides better camouflage for minor irregularities, while thin skin allows more precise definition of underlying structural changes.

Personalized Consultation Process

During the initial consultation, Dr. Rau carefully evaluates facial proportions and discusses specific patient goals. Some patients might consider complementary procedures like chin augmentation to enhance overall facial harmony.

Procedure Cost Considerations

Rhinoplasty pricing varies based on individual complexity, surgical technique, and potential additional interventions. A personalized consultation provides the most accurate cost assessment for your specific case.
