Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty) in Bellevue and Seattle

Nose Reshaping Seattle | Nose Reshaping BellevueWho is a candidate for nose reshaping (rhinoplasty)?

  • If you have an abnormal appearance of the nose as a result of genes, injury or disease.
  • Nose that is cosmetically unattractive or does not "fit" with other facial features.
  • If a previous Rhinoplasty has not been to your satisfaction.

    Intended results of nose reshaping (rhinoplasty)

  • More attractive nasal shape.
  • Nose in better proportion to other facial features.

    Nose reshaping (Rhinoplasty) procedure description

    • The procedure is done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia.
    • There are various approaches to Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping). These include open or a closed technique depending on the architecture of the nose, and the relative technical difficulty of the procedure.
    • All aspects of the nose can be reshaped-specific attention is given to the relationship of the width, length, and the tip of the nose.
    • Occasionally a functional defect such as a deviated septum is addressed.

    Recuperation and healing following nose reshaping (rhinoplasty)

    • The patient goes home with an external cast or splint in place. The nose may be packed for 24-48 hours. The cast or splint is usually removed in one week.
    • Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication.
    • Majority of swelling and bruising subsides progressively over 2-4 weeks. However, some residual swelling can persist for up to 6 months.
    • If external sutures are used they are removed in 4-6 days. Internal sutures dissolve.
    • Semifinal result is evident in 3 months. Final result is evident in 12-14 months, which is the time necessary for complete tissue softening.

    Other options and information on nose reshaping (rhinoplasty)

    • Additional procedures that may enhance the result are Chin Enlargement and Laser Skin Resurfacing.
    • One of the hallmarks of the rhinoplasty that Dr. Egrari performs is its natural appearance. An operated-on nose is one that is not attractive.
    • Rhinoplasty is one of the most sensitive plastic surgery operations and needs to be done at a center like ours that is involved with many nose procedures each month.
    • It is important that ethnic variation and feminine versus masculine traits of a nose are well regarded and analyzed.
