These days, it seems like we all know of someone who has had a “nose job.” When celebrities undergo this popular procedure, it usually makes headlines in the tabloids. That is because even subtle changes in the shape of the nose can have a dramatic impact on a person’s appearance — a fact that Dr. Bogdan’s rhinoplasty patients from Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, and other cities near Grapevine, TX, have seen firsthand.
Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
As the nose is one of the most prominent features of the face, it has a significant influence on our overall countenance. If you are unhappy with your nose, it is something that affects you every time you look in the mirror. Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is a relatively common plastic surgery procedure, and one of the oldest. In fact, modern cosmetic rhinoplasty has been around for over 100 years.
Women and men often choose this procedure for any combination of the following improvements:
To help you decide exactly what changes you would like to have made, Dr. Bogdan likes to utilize 3D computer imaging to allow you to visualize potential outcomes. Dr. Bogdan uses Canfield Scientific’s VECTRA M3 imager and Face Sculptor software to assist with a consultation at his Grapevine office.
Dr. Bogdan is a board-certified plastic surgeon with a passion for his craft who is known for working closely with patients to get excellent results.
Depending on your anatomy and the desired changes, the operation can be performed using the closed or open technique.
This technique involves a small incision placed along the base of the nose between the nostrils. Dr. Bogdan uses the open technique when he needs unobstructed access to the inner structures of the nose and optimal control during the surgery, such as when performing procedures that require significant tip support or correction of a major deviation.
This technique is performed through incisions placed within the nostrils. Dr. Bogdan prefers the closed approach for the majority of his patients because it leaves no visible scars. While experiences vary, recovery is typically quicker with closed rhinoplasty.
Most “nose job” patients from Fort Worth and surrounding areas choose to be put under general anesthesia. It is normally not necessary to be intubated for the procedure, as a soft cushion airway is generally sufficient. The procedure can take from 1 to 4 hours, with the closed approach taking less time than open procedures.
Many rhinoplasty patients also choose to have other facial cosmetic surgery procedures performed to achieve a more comprehensive makeover. These procedures may include:
Recovery after rhinoplasty varies with the specifics of the surgery and individual patient factors. Common considerations include:
The typical age range for Dr. Bogdan’s rhinoplasty patients is the 20s to 30s. Teens can have rhinoplasty once the nose has finished developing, which is typically around age 16.
While discomfort is common after rhinoplasty, it is commonly due to nasal congestion caused by swelling inside the nose. Most patients do not experience any significant pain. It takes about 2 to 4 weeks for swelling to dissipate.
The shape of the nose can be slightly enhanced with a “liquid rhinoplasty” that involves dermal filler injections into the skin of the nose. The results are temporary and more subtle than with surgery.
When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty, the surgery is considered safe. Since the nose is such a central part of a person’s face and appearance, it should only be operated on by a plastic surgeon with extensive experience performing rhinoplasty. Dr. Michael Bogdan is uniquely qualified in the area of facial plastic surgery, and rhinoplasty is one of his specialties.
Within 2 to 4 weeks, swelling should become almost unnoticeable, but subtle changes in the appearance of the nose will continue over the course of a year.
Rhinoplasty results last indefinitely as long as there is no trauma to the nose. The aging process doesn’t typically have a significant effect on the nose.
