Frequently asked questions about the rhinoplasty procedure
The rhinoplasty procedure is an elective (and sometimes necessary) aesthetic treatment that can be performed to improve the shape, alignment, structures, and contours of the nose. Dr. Derek Steinbacher, a plastic surgeon in Guilford, Connecticut, is here to offer this surgery and talk to patients about what to expect and how to know if the procedure is successful. Below are some of the more frequently asked questions regarding the rhinoplasty surgery from Dr. Derek Steinbacher and his plastic surgery team.
Why might I consider a rhinoplasty procedure?
There are several reasons why someone may consider a rhinoplasty procedure:
- Improving facial aesthetics. The nose is a prominent facial feature and can greatly impact overall facial balance and attractiveness. A rhinoplasty can help enhance or restore facial harmony by addressing any concerns with the shape or size of the nose.
- Correcting structural issues. Some people may have structural problems with their noses, such as a deviated septum or breathing difficulties due to narrow nostrils. Rhinoplasty can correct these issues and improve nasal function.
- Boosting self-confidence. Many of our patients feel self-conscious about the appearance of their noses, which can greatly impact their self-esteem. A rhinoplasty can help improve confidence and self-image by creating a more aesthetically pleasing nose.
- Repairing trauma or injury. Any accidents and injuries can cause damage to the nose, resulting in deformities or breathing problems. Rhinoplasty can be used to repair these damages and restore the function and appearance of the nose.
- Addressing congenital defects. Some people are born with nasal abnormalities or defects that may affect their breathing or appearance. Rhinoplasty can correct these issues and improve overall quality of life.
How do I know if my rhinoplasty is successful?
The success of a rhinoplasty can be measured in various ways, such as the patient’s satisfaction with the results, improved nasal function, and overall improvement in facial aesthetics. Dr. Derek Steinbacher works closely with each patient to fully understand their desired outcome and create a customized surgical plan to achieve it.
