Rhinoplasty Specialist in Los Angeles with Dr. Kian Karimi
Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a "nose job," is a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping the nose to enhance facial harmony and boost self-confidence. At Kian Aesthetics Institute, the emphasis is on achieving results that look natural and complement each patient's unique facial features. The procedure can address various concerns, including altering the nose's size, refining the nasal tip, straightening the bridge, and adjusting nostril width. Additionally, rhinoplasty can correct structural issues that impede breathing, such as a deviated septum. During the initial consultation, Dr. Kian Karimi collaborates with patients to understand their aesthetic goals and develop a personalized surgical plan. The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, with incisions made inside the nostrils or along the columella (the tissue between the nostrils) to minimize visible scarring. Recovery involves a brief period of swelling and bruising, with most patients resuming normal activities within two weeks. The final results emerge over several months as the nose settles into its new shape, offering a balanced and natural enhancement to the face.
What is A Rhinoplasty?
what to expect after
The recovery process from rhinoplasty takes several weeks to complete depending on the extent of the procedure. During the first week, the nose is packed and splinted to allow the initial healing to take place. It is so important to avoid sneezing, if possible, and anything other direct impact on the nose. Ice packs are useful to relieve discomfort.
Once the packing and stitches are removed, patients may return to light activities and work; however, strenuous activities including exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks. The full recovery from rhinoplasty takes several weeks.
