The Benefits of Rhinoplasty
Patients choose rhinoplasty both for cosmetic improvement and functional comfort. With rhinoplasty, Dr. Porter can:
Correct a hump or bump on the nose
Create a nose that is more proportional for the patient
Give a nose a more narrow shape
Improve the appearance of a flat or droopy nose
Change the shape of the nostrils
Correct a nose that has been damaged due to injury
Rhinoplasty Approaches
At Chevy Chase Facial Plastic Surgery in Washington, DC, Dr. Porter performs both open and closed rhinoplasty procedures. The approach she chooses to use will be determined during your consultation after an examination and discussion regarding your aesthetic goals.
Open Rhinoplasty
When performing an open rhinoplasty, Dr. Porter will create an incision on the outside of the nose, between the left and right nostril. This incision, though small, will give Dr. Porter the access she needs to the bone and cartilage in order to accurately reshape the nose. Another benefit of an open rhinoplasty is that it allows for the creation of a well supported tip for those whose nose droops when they smile. It is also the approach of choice for revision rhinoplasty or crooked nasal deformity.
Closed Rhinoplasty
For patients receiving a closed rhinoplasty, Dr. Porter will make incisions on the inside of the nostrils. Patients who only need minimal reshaping benefit most from this technique since it doesn’t provide as much access to the underlying nasal structures. Additionally, closed rhinoplasty does not allow Dr. Porter to reshape the tip of the nose very much. However, this approach means that Washington, DC patients will have no visible scarring, and a shorter recovery period.
Regardless of the goals of your rhinoplasty procedure, Dr. Porter will use special techniques to give you the results you want.
