What is rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty can address a wide range of concerns, including the nose’s size and shape, the nostrils’ width, and the angle between the nose and the upper lip. The procedure can also correct impaired breathing caused by structural differences in the nose. Dr. Davidson’s meticulous approach ensures that the results are balanced and harmonious with the facial features. He is skilled in both open and closed approaches, creating a 100% custom approach to every procedure, depending on the needs and goals of each patient.

Types of rhinoplasty

Cosmetic rhinoplasty

Cosmetic rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure primarily focused on enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the nose. This procedure can address various issues, such as nose size, shape, and symmetry, bringing it into a more harmonious balance with the features. Dr. Davidson’s precision and artistic eye ensure results that naturally complement the individual’s facial features, enhancing their overall appearance and boosting self-confidence.

Ethnic rhinoplasty

Ethnic rhinoplasty is tailored to meet the unique needs of patients from diverse ethnic backgrounds, ensuring that their natural beauty is preserved and enhanced. Dr. Davidson takes a meticulous approach, respecting and celebrating the distinct characteristics of each ethnicity while making subtle changes that align with the patient’s aesthetic goals.

Septorhinoplasty

Septorhinoplasty is a comprehensive procedure that combines aesthetic enhancements with functional improvements, correcting a deviated septum and other internal nasal issues to improve breathing. Functional and appearance related concerns are often inter-related. Dr Davidson will carefully examine nasal breathing functionality as well as discuss each patient’s aesthetic goals to formulate a treatment plan.

What to expect in recovery after rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is typically performed as outpatient surgery, with patients going home the same day. It is performed under general anesthetic. Patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which generally subside within two weeks. Discomfort can be managed with prescribed pain medications. Cold compresses and keeping the head elevated, including during sleep, helps to reduce these symptoms. Do not blow your nose, and ensure you avoid any pressure or contact on the newly reshaped nose.

A nasal splint is usually worn for the first week to support the new shape of the nose. Internal nasal splints may also be placed at the time of surgery and remain in place for the first week. Most patients feel ready to return to work and resume normal activities within two weeks, although strenuous activities should be avoided for a few weeks. Dr. Davidson and his team provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and are available to address any concerns, ensuring a smooth and controlled recovery process.

How is cosmetic rhinoplasty different from functional rhinoplasty?

Cosmetic rhinoplasty is performed to improve the nose’s appearance, refining its shape, size, or symmetry to better complement the face. Functional rhinoplasty, on the other hand, is aimed at correcting breathing difficulties caused by structural issues, such as a deviated septum or nasal obstruction. At Palm Beach Plastic Surgery Institute, Dr. Davidson tailors each procedure to ensure both aesthetic and functional needs are addressed as necessary.

What should I expect during the recovery period?

Rhinoplasty recovery varies for each patient, but most experience swelling and bruising that subsides within about two weeks. A nasal splint is typically used during the first week to support healing. Many patients feel ready to return to work and light activities after two weeks, though more strenuous exercises should be postponed for a few weeks. Dr. Davidson and his team provide detailed aftercare instructions and ongoing support to ensure a smooth healing process.

Who is a good candidate for rhinoplasty?

Individuals considering rhinoplasty should be in good health and have realistic expectations about the outcome. Whether the goal is cosmetic enhancement or functional improvement, a personalized consultation with Dr. Davidson helps determine the best surgical plan. Those with concerns about their nasal appearance or breathing issues may benefit from this procedure, which is designed to achieve natural and balanced results.
