A rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance, symmetry, and functionality of the nose. Whether you’re looking to enhance your nose shape or resolve breathing issues, rhinoplasty can help you achieve your desired aesthetic. Dr. Babak Moein, a renowned plastic surgeon in Los Angeles, specializes in rhinoplasty procedures that deliver natural-looking, transformative results.
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose, enhancing its appearance and function. Whether performed alone or combined with other procedures, it can refine facial features and improve nasal airflow. In fact, rhinoplasty was one of the most popular plastic surgeries in 2017, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Dr. Moein is dedicated to providing personalized care and advanced surgical techniques at Moein Surgical Arts to help patients achieve a balanced, harmonious facial profile.
Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the procedure. During your consultation with Dr. Moein, you will undergo a comprehensive facial examination to determine if you are a suitable candidate for rhinoplasty. This is also your opportunity to discuss your concerns, goals, and the changes you wish to see in your appearance.
Dr. Moein will develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, ensuring your goals are met while keeping your facial harmony intact. He remains a constant resource for you throughout your entire surgical journey at Moein Surgical Arts.
Depending on your needs and the extent of reshaping required, there are several rhinoplasty options available:
Open rhinoplasty is typically used for significant reshaping of the nose. It offers the surgeon greater access to nasal structures for more detailed adjustments, leading to more precise results.
Closed rhinoplasty, or endonasal rhinoplasty, is performed entirely within the nostrils, making it less invasive with minimal external scarring. This technique is ideal for minor reshaping of the nose.
Septoplasty is a functional rhinoplasty that corrects a deviated septum, improving airflow and relieving breathing difficulties. This procedure can also enhance the aesthetic appearance of the nose.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty uses injectable fillers to reshape the nose and improve facial symmetry without the need for incisions or recovery time. Ideal for minor imperfections or those not ready for surgery.
Revision rhinoplasty is a corrective procedure designed to address issues from previous rhinoplasty surgeries. Whether it’s asymmetry or complications, Dr. Moein can help restore balance and function to the nose.
Rhinoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure at Moein Surgical Arts. After your surgery, Dr. Moein will carefully bandage and apply a splint to support the nose as it heals. He will also place packing inside the nostrils to ensure the nasal passages heal correctly.
To minimize swelling and bruising, patients can apply a cold compress gently around the nose. Most patients can return to work after about one week of recovery. However, any strenuous activities or exercise should be avoided for approximately 3 to 4 weeks to ensure proper healing.
Swelling will gradually subside, with the final result becoming apparent within six months to a year. Dr. Moein will schedule regular postoperative appointments to monitor your recovery and address any concerns you may have.
