Choosing the right plastic surgeon is paramount for a successful rhinoplasty experience, and Dr. Torkian stands out for several reasons:
Can rhinoplasty correct breathing problems?
Is it possible to perform rhinoplasty without breaking the nasal bones?
How long should I avoid wearing glasses after rhinoplasty?
Can I combine rhinoplasty with other facial surgeries?
Are the results of rhinoplasty permanent?
Yes, rhinoplasty can improve both aesthetic appearance and functional issues such as breathing problems. Functional rhinoplasty, or septorhinoplasty, can correct structural issues like a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, or collapsed nasal valves that obstruct airflow. Patients with breathing issues may also benefit from reconstructive techniques to support the internal nasal structures, improving function alongside cosmetic enhancement.
Yes, in some cases, rhinoplasty can be performed without fracturing the nasal bones, often referred to as "closed" or "non-osteotomy" rhinoplasty. This approach is suitable for minor adjustments to the nasal tip or nostrils that do not require changes to the nasal bridge or width. It’s a less invasive technique that reduces trauma, swelling, and recovery time, but is not appropriate for more complex reshaping.
It’s generally recommended to avoid wearing glasses or sunglasses directly on the bridge of the nose for at least 4-6 weeks post-surgery, as the pressure can interfere with healing and potentially alter the final shape. Many surgeons suggest using alternative support, like taping glasses to the forehead or using a lightweight frame, until the nose is fully healed.
Yes, rhinoplasty is often combined with other facial procedures such as chin augmentation, facelift, or eyelid surgery to create a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance. Combining surgeries can be beneficial as it allows patients to address multiple concerns in one session, reducing overall recovery time and achieving a cohesive result. It’s essential, however, to discuss goals with a qualified surgeon to ensure a comprehensive and safe approach.
Rhinoplasty results are generally permanent, as the structural changes made to the nose do not revert over time. However, natural aging will continue, which may subtly change the nasal appearance over many years. A well-done rhinoplasty will age gracefully, but patients should have realistic expectations about the influence of aging and the possibility of minor changes decades later.
