Sacramento Rhinoplasty
Choosing Rhinoplasty
One of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures, rhinoplasty, also known as cosmetic surgery of the nose, can greatly benefit your appearance. Rhinoplasty can change the size of your nose, narrow the span of the nostrils, change the angle between your nose and your upper lip, and even give your nose a more pleasing shape. Rhinoplasty can also correct a birth defect or injury and help relieve breathing problems. People in Folsom and Roseville look to board certified Sacramento plastic surgeons Kaufman & Clark for their rhinoplasty surgery.
Candidates for Nose Surgery
Patients are encouraged to think seriously about the reasons they choose to undergo rhinoplasty surgery. While you may enhance your appearance and self-confidence by changing your nose, rhinoplasty won't necessarily give you your ideal appearance or change the way that others treat you. You will experience the greatest satisfaction from your procedure if you want improvement in the way you look, not perfection.
A rhinoplasty will actually change your fundamental appearance. This kind of change can be surprising in the weeks following surgery, and most patients come to enjoy their new nose. While a rhinoplasty can make you look younger, the fundamental goal of a rhinoplasty is to bring your facial features into greater harmony. If you are looking simply to rejuvenate your face, a facelift or eyelid surgery may be a better option.
Talk to Your Plastic Surgeon
Because each person's face is different, your surgery will be tailored to your specific characteristics and desires. We will discuss your cosmetic goals and specific procedural options during an initial consultation.
The surgery itself is performed under intravenous sedation or general anesthesia.
Recovery
The recovery period is 10 days to two weeks before a return to light work is possible. It can take as long as six months for swelling to completely disappear and for the final results to be apparent. However, for most patients, the results are worth the wait.
