Am I A Good Candidate For Rhinoplasty?

Have issues with the shape, size, or symmetry of their nose that they would like to improve
Suffer from breathing difficulties caused by a deviated septum or other structural nasal problems
Are in overall good health and do not have medical conditions that could elevate surgical risks

The Rhinoplasty Procedure

Your rhinoplasty journey with Dr. White begins with an in-depth consultation. During this meeting, Dr. White will thoroughly evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and create a customized surgical plan.

Rhinoplasty procedures can differ significantly depending on the individual’s objectives. Generally, the surgeon creates subtle incisions inside the nostrils or along the columella (the thin strip of tissue between the nostrils).

These incisions allow Dr. White to reshape the nose by modifying the bone, cartilage, and soft tissue. The procedure is performed under anesthesia to ensure the patient’s comfort throughout.

After surgery, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which will gradually subside over the following weeks. Most patients return to work or normal activities within 7 to 10 days, although full recovery can take several months as swelling diminishes.

Following a rhinoplasty procedure, patients should anticipate some swelling and bruising, which is normal and typically diminishes within a few weeks. Temporary nasal packing may be utilized to aid in the healing process. Most patients can return to their regular activities within two weeks, although avoiding intense exercise for a longer duration is advisable.
