Orange County Rhinoplasty

What is rhinoplasty, and when is it needed?

Rhinoplasty is one of the leading plastic surgery procedures among both men and women. It can effectively transform an individual’s nose into a more flattering shape and size, in balance with his or her overall facial appearance.

This plastic surgery procedure is required when a large hump is removed and/or the base of the nose needs to be proportionately narrowed. To accomplish this, small skin wedges are removed, bringing the nostrils closer to the center. The more pronounced the abnormality of the nose, the more striking will be the change; if just a minor bulbous tip or a small hump, the effect will be subtler. A patient can be up and about in a day or so following surgery. Any post-surgical pain is easily controlled by medication. Nose surgery can also be performed to improve a person’s breathing, which is usually caused by a deviated septum.

The method that Dr. Von Maur uses, the “open” or “closed” technique, will be determined based on certain factors, such as the patient’s condition and goals. Rhinoplasty is a highly individualized procedure, which should only be performed for the right reasons. Those interested in nose surgery should be physically and psychologically healthy, and maintain realistic expectations. In addition, candidates should be at least 13 years old (typically when facial growth is complete) and not smoke (or quit at least two weeks both before and after).
