Rhinoplasty Before & After

Nose Surgery Consultation

The initial consultation with an experienced surgeon like Dr. Matthew White is an essential step. During this meeting, you'll discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns you might have. Dr. White will evaluate your nose's structure and skin quality to determine the most suitable approach for your unique needs.

The Rhinoplasty Procedure

Rhinoplasty procedures can vary significantly based on the patient's goals. In most cases, the surgeon will make discreet incisions, typically inside the nostrils or along the columella (the narrow strip of tissue separating the nostrils). These incisions enable Dr. White to reshape the nose by altering the bone, cartilage, and soft tissue structure. The procedure is carried out under anesthesia to ensure the patient's comfort.

Rhinoplasty Recovery

After a rhinoplasty procedure, patients can expect some swelling and bruising, which is entirely normal and generally subsides within a few weeks. Nasal packing may be used temporarily to support the healing process. Most patients are able to resume their normal routines within two weeks, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for a more extended period.

Are there any risks?

Like any other surgical procedure, rhinoplasty comes with inherent risks, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and anesthesia-related complications. However, the careful selection of a skilled surgeon significantly reduces these risks.
