Solutions For A More Confident Life
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a "nose job," is a surgical procedure that alters the shape and function of the nose. It can be performed for cosmetic reasons, to enhance the nose's appearance, or for functional reasons, such as improving breathing through surgeries like Septoplasty or Nasal Valve Repair. In some cases, these procedures are combined and referred to as "Septorhinoplasty."
Functional Rhinoplasty is primarily aimed at improving nasal function, specifically addressing breathing difficulties. This procedure often involves correcting structural issues such as a deviated septum, nasal valve collapse, or other obstructions that impede airflow. Techniques commonly used in functional rhinoplasty include Septoplasty, Nasal Valve Repair, and Turbinate Reduction, which can be performed alongside rhinoplasty to enhance both the form and function of the nose. The primary focus is on restoring or improving nasal function, with any aesthetic enhancements being a secondary benefit.
Cosmetic Rhinoplasty, on the other hand, focuses on enhancing the appearance of the nose to better align with a patient's aesthetic goals. This might involve reshaping the nose’s size, contour, or symmetry to achieve a more balanced and pleasing look. Depending on the desired changes, either open or closed rhinoplasty techniques can be employed, with the procedure potentially altering the nasal bridge, tip, or overall shape. The primary aim of cosmetic rhinoplasty is to improve the visual appearance of the nose, with any functional improvements being incidental or secondary.
Types of Rhinoplasty: Open vs. Closed
Open vs closed rhinoplasty simply refers to how your nose is accessed during surgery.
Involves an incision at the base of the nose, providing greater access to the nasal structures. This method is ideal for more complex cases, such as revision surgeries or detailed work on the nasal tip and mid-vault.
Performed with incisions hidden inside the nostrils, making it a more discreet option. This technique is best suited for less complex adjustments, primarily focusing on the dorsum or bridge of the nose.
"I am super happy with my nose results with Dr. Bassiri. I felt informed about the process and he broke down what he felt comfortable doing and exactly how he would accomplish my desired result. I was confident he could see my vision as we worked together to create a beautiful shape that still let me feel like myself. I cannot thank him enough!"
