Rhinoplasty is a nuanced surgical procedure that artfully reshapes the nose, adjusting its dimensions, angles, and overall contour to create optimal balance with other facial elements. It addresses concerns from both aesthetic and functional perspectives. Many individuals seek this procedure to refine specific features, such as a prominent dorsal hump, a disproportionate tip, or an asymmetrical alignment. Beyond the aesthetic benefits, rhinoplasty can also address functional concerns. It may help improve nasal breathing when dealing with issues such as a deviated septum, allergies, snoring, or sinus problems.
Rhinoplasty stands as one of the most commonly sought-after cosmetic procedures today. This transformative surgery is designed to modify the nose, bringing about changes in size and nasal structure to create a harmonious balance with your other facial features. The results can be quite dramatic, often involving sculpting or narrowing the nasal tip to achieve a more refined profile.
At Face N Body, our approach ensures that your refined nose enhances your inherent beauty, creating a seamless and natural result that elevates your entire facial aesthetic. Your nose should complement, not overpower, your unique charm.
Your journey to a harmonized profile at Face N Body Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery is conducted with meticulous care by Dr. Park or Dr. Cheah. Upon your arrival at our AAAHC-accredited surgery center in Upland, CA, our attentive team and board-certified anesthesiologist will ensure your comfort and safety.
Dr. Cheah prefers the open rhinoplasty technique because it provides enhanced visibility for intricate reshaping of the nose. A tiny, discreet incision is made across the columella, the narrow strip of skin between your nostrils. This approach allows our surgeons an uncompromised view of the underlying nasal bone and cartilage. Using precise instruments, they will then meticulously sculpt, remove, or augment bone and cartilage as needed to achieve your desired shape.
For instance, cartilage grafts (often taken from the septum, ear, or, in rare cases, the rib) may be used to build up areas, refine the nasal tip, or straighten the bridge. The surgery is performed under anesthesia, ensuring the patient's comfort throughout the two to three-hour procedure.
Once the artistic reshaping is complete, the skin and soft tissues are carefully redraped over the new framework, and the external incision is delicately closed. The duration of the procedure varies, but our commitment to precision ensures exquisite, natural-looking outcomes.
Rhinoplasty is adept at addressing a diverse range of nasal characteristics that can impact both aesthetics and daily comfort. This surgical refinement effectively targets:
Through these adjustments, rhinoplasty creates a more balanced and refined facial centerpiece.
Rhinoplasty focuses explicitly on reshaping the internal and external structures of the nose, meticulously modifying its bone and cartilage framework to enhance both its appearance and functional airflow.
Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery, offers many benefits beyond just enhancing your appearance. This transformative procedure can profoundly impact your self-confidence and overall well-being. Dr. Park and Dr. Cheah at Face N Body Cosmetic Surgery specialize in rhinoplasty and are committed to helping you achieve the look you desire.
A thoughtfully refined nose can dramatically improve the overall balance and symmetry of your entire face. By expertly adjusting its size, shape, and angles, rhinoplasty creates a more proportionate relationship with your eyes, cheeks, and mouth. This leads to an integrated facial aesthetic where no single feature dominates, but all features complement each other beautifully.
Beyond its aesthetic impact, rhinoplasty often provides significant functional improvements. For individuals struggling with restricted breathing due to structural irregularities within the nose, such as a deviated septum or narrow passageways, surgical correction can significantly improve airflow. This leads to easier breathing, potentially reducing snoring, and enhancing sleep quality for a refreshed feeling.
For individuals who have long felt self-conscious about their nose, the transformation from rhinoplasty can be deeply empowering. Achieving a nose that truly complements your features can unlock a newfound confidence, enabling you to feel more comfortable and assured in all aspects of your life, from social interactions to personal pursuits.
The structural changes achieved through rhinoplasty are designed to be permanent. Once the nasal bones and cartilage are reshaped and fully healed, your new nasal contour is exceptionally durable. Our surgeons, guided by the "less is more" philosophy, ensure that your refined nose harmonizes so perfectly with your face that it looks completely natural, as if it was always meant to be.
Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty are typically individuals whose nasal growth is complete (generally mid-to-late teens) and who maintain good overall health. You should have clear, realistic objectives for enhancing your nose's appearance—whether it involves addressing a specific feature, such as a hump, refining the tip, or correcting asymmetry. Patients also seeking to resolve functional breathing challenges are excellent candidates.
It's vital to understand that the procedure aims for enhancement and balance, not absolute perfection. During your in-depth, compassionate consultation in Upland, CA, Dr. Park or Dr. Cheah will thoroughly assess your nasal structure, review your medical history, and work with you to define achievable and harmonious outcomes.
Post-surgery, patients may experience minimal pain, which can typically be managed with mild analgesics. Some swelling and bruising around the eyes may occur, but the use of ice helps keep these symptoms to a minimum. A splint or cast is applied to the nose for approximately four to five days, followed by some residual swelling after its removal. However, this quickly resolves, becoming inconspicuous to friends and acquaintances.
Patients are advised to avoid strenuous physical activities for about two to three weeks after the surgery. While minor contour irregularities or asymmetries may be possible, they usually resolve with time. In rare cases, a minor secondary procedure may be required to address any residual concerns.
While you'll immediately notice a new shape to your nose after rhinoplasty, it's essential to understand that early results are often obscured by swelling. The most dramatic improvements in bruising and initial swelling typically resolve within the first 2 to 3 weeks. However, the truly refined and final contours of your nose will gradually reveal themselves over a more extended period. You will see significant positive changes by 6 months, but the ultimate outcome can take up to a full year, or sometimes longer, as all residual swelling completely dissipates and the tissues fully settle into their new form.
The structural alterations achieved during rhinoplasty are considered permanent. Once the nasal bones and cartilage have been meticulously reshaped and fully healed, your new nasal contour is designed to last a lifetime. While the natural processes of aging will continue to affect your entire face, the fundamental enhancements from your rhinoplasty are exceptionally durable. This means the improved harmony and proportion of your nose will endure for decades, providing a lasting contribution to your overall facial balance and self-confidence.

In open rhinoplasty, our preferred technique, a tiny incision is made across the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), providing the surgeon with a comprehensive, direct view of the underlying nasal structures for precise reshaping. Closed rhinoplasty involves incisions made entirely inside the nostrils, leaving no external scar but offering less visibility during surgery.
Rhinoplasty is typically performed after the nose has completed its growth, which is generally around 15-16 years old for girls and slightly later, around 17-18 years old, for boys.
Yes, if your breathing issues are caused by structural abnormalities within the nose (like a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates), rhinoplasty can often improve nasal airflow and overall respiratory function.
While most initial swelling and bruising resolve within the first few weeks, subtle swelling can linger for 6 months to a full year, especially in the nasal tip. The final, refined results become fully apparent as this residual swelling completely dissipates.
Absolutely. Rhinoplasty is highly effective at correcting a crooked nose by carefully reshaping the nasal bones and cartilage to achieve a more straightened and symmetrical appearance.
As with any surgical procedure, minor risks include temporary swelling, bruising, and numbness. More rare complications can include infection or the need for revision surgery. Our surgeons will provide a thorough discussion of all potential risks during your consultation.
Incisions may be made inside, at the base of the nose, or both, ensuring nearly undetectable results.
