Nose surgery (Rhinoplasty) continues to be one of the most sought-after procedures for both men and women who want a more attractive profile and correct any imperfections of the nose tip, bridge or nostrils. Nose surgery (rhinoplasty) is a fairly extensive procedure that can change the angle and positioning of the nose so that it is more balanced with the rest of the face and looks more attractive and youthful. For some patients, nose surgery can also help correct any breathing problems or defects resulting from an accident or injury.

Other Information about Rhinoplasty

The rhinpolasty procedure typically takes 1-2 hour depending on the extent of surgery required, and can be performed under local or general anesthesia. Almost all incisions are made inside the nose, and Dr. Zarrabi begins adjusting and manipulating the bone and cartilage to create the desired results. After the nose has been sculpted and contoured to its final shape and size, the skin is draped over the skin and secured in place.

The nose is then taped and bandaged so that healing can begin, and most patients do experience a significant amount of swelling and redness shortly after the procedure. However, the swelling and bruising will reside within a couple of weeks; at this stage, the bandages and stitches can be removed.
