Enhance Your Profile with Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, often called a nose job, is a transformative procedure that enhances the shape and function of the nose. Dr. Gregory Chernoff, your Indianapolis expert in rhinoplasty, blends surgical precision with an artistic touch to achieve exceptional outcomes for patients in Indianapolis.
Understanding Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve both its appearance and function.
It can address size, shape, and symmetry, involving the sculpting of nasal bones and cartilage to create a balanced and harmonious facial profile.
Who Should Consider Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is ideal for individuals unhappy with their nose’s appearance or those with breathing issues due to structural problems.
Common reasons for rhinoplasty include resizing the nose, altering nostril shape, correcting a deviated septum, and smoothing a nasal hump.
Dr. Chernoff assesses each patient’s needs to ensure they are good candidates for the procedure.
The Rhinoplasty Procedure
Consultation
Begin with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Chernoff, who will discuss your goals, evaluate your nasal structure, and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Preparation
Before surgery, you’ll receive detailed pre-operative instructions, including medication guidelines and preparation steps.
Following these instructions ensures a smooth procedure and optimal results.
Surgery Day
Performed under general anesthesia, rhinoplasty involves precise incisions to access and reshape the nasal bones and cartilage. Incisions are typically made inside the nostrils or across the columella to minimize visible scarring.
The procedure may include tissue grafting or removal of excess tissue.
Post-Operative Care
Post-surgery, you’ll receive specific care instructions to manage swelling and bruising. Keeping the head elevated and avoiding strenuous activities are essential.
An external splint supports the nose during initial healing. Follow-up appointments monitor progress and ensure proper healing.
Recovery & Results
Recovery involves some swelling and bruising, typically subsiding within a few weeks. Most patients return to normal activities within 7 to 10 days, though full results may take several months to appear.
Rhinoplasty offers long-term benefits, including improved facial harmony and enhanced nasal function. Patient testimonials highlight the positive impact and confidence gained from a refined appearance.
