Occupying the center of the face, your nose is your most prominent facial feature. The art of rhinoplasty is very complex since it is a highly individualized procedure which focuses on your overall appearance. The art of facial balancing allows the alterations of the nose and your facial features to complement one another. Although the nose is often the focus of a consultation, additional procedures such as a chin implant may be suggested to achieve an overall more balanced facial look. "I don’t just make noses smaller, I believe achieving the most natural look for your overall facial features and maintaining the subtleties of ethnicity", states Dr. Edween.

Rhinoplasty has grown to become one of the most popular and most frequently requested surgeries in the world of plastic surgery. This stems largely from the fact that many individuals simply believe that their nose is either too large or not the shape that they desire. Rhinoplasty procedures performed by Dr Edween in Los Angeles can help to correct these problems. With rhinoplasty, the nose is either reduced in size through the removal of cartilage or reshaped. Dr Edween has extensive experience with the procedure.

The rhinoplasty procedure begins with an incision. The incision can be made either inside the nostrils or on the outside of the nose. Incisions placed inside the nostrils help to hide the scar from the view of others, but it can make recovery less comfortable and longer. An incision placed on the outside of the nose gives the surgeon greater control and may be required for more complicated procedures.

Once the incision is made, the skin is separated from the underlying cartilage of the nose. The surgeon then reshapes the cartilage as needed and may remove portions of it. Once the nose has been resized or reshaped, the skin is redraped over the nose and secured into place. A splint is typically used to keep the nose from being bent or deformed when healing. It is important to understand that although most of the swelling from rhinoplasty is gone after a month, it can take up to a year for all the swelling to subside and the nose to take on its final shape.

With the rhinoplasty procedure, it is very important to meet with Dr Edween for a consultation in order to determine what effect the rhinoplasty should yield. The surgeon and patient should decide together what the new shape of the nose should be and where the incision should be placed.
