What is a Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a "nose job," is a surgical procedure designed to reshape, resize, or improve the function of the nose. It can be performed for cosmetic reasons (to enhance facial harmony or correct perceived imperfections) or for medical purposes (such as correcting breathing issues, repairing a deviated septum, or restoring the nose after injury).

What are the Benefits of Rhinoplasty?

There are many reasons patients seek to enhance the appearance of their nose with rhinoplasty. Many patients seeking nose surgery are looking to change the size of the nose, while others want to fix the tip of the nose.

Regardless of the specific changes, the main goal is to achieve a result that looks natural and balances out the rest of your facial features. Dr. Lee will work with you to ensure you receive some of the best results after rhinoplasty surgery. Listed below are a few ways in which rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills may benefit your features:

  • Refine a bulbous nasal tip
  • Change the size of the nose
  • Smooth out bumps along the bridge of the nose
  • Narrow the width of the nostrils
  • Refine the angle of the nose
  • Create a sense of balance and symmetry in your face
  • Grant one with a rediscovered feeling of confidence in the way they appear

Dr. Kimberly Lee’s Approach

Having spent additional training in rhinoplasty, Dr. Lee is up-to-date with the most advanced techniques and is on the cutting-edge of new technology. Dr. Lee is currently one of a select few who are utilizing a new device. This new device will change how patients recover from surgery. It removes the need for nasal packing during recovery, which inhibits nasal breathing after surgery. As a co-developer of this new device, Dr. Lee has made it possible for patients to breathe easily through their newly shaped nose immediately following their procedure. You can be confident that your result will be refined, balanced, and proportioned with the rest of your face.

What Should I Expect During Rhinoplasty Recovery?

After your nose surgery in Los Angeles & Beverly Hills, you may experience some bruising and swelling. This is normal and will diminish over time. If the upper part of the nose is narrowed, you may see some mild bruising under the eye area, which tends to diminish after a week or so.

We recommend taking surgical strength Arnika and Bromelain following your surgery to facilitate the healing process. Most of the swelling will calm down within the first few weeks following your rhinoplasty.

That being said, swelling will continue to diminish for up to a year before achieving its final size and overall look. Any sutures positioned inside the nose will dissolve, and any nasal cast or external sutures that might be used shall be removed approximately one week after your rhinoplasty surgery. Patients can usually return home after the sutures and cast have been properly removed. Dr. Lee will want to check with you throughout the healing process with several follow-up appointments.

Following this, our computer imaging system provides a unique experience in which patients can visually get an idea of what he/she will look like following rhinoplasty surgery. 

If you proceed with nasal reshaping surgery with Dr. Lee, a second appointment will be made a few weeks before surgery to review the changes discussed at the initial consultation.  At any time during the process, we welcome any questions or concerns regarding the procedure or the recovery so that you feel comfortable.

Rhinoplasty may also be performed in conjunction with a septoplasty or address large turbinates to improve nasal airway and breathing, as well as any anatomical issues that can affect one’s ability to breathe through the nose.
