Surgical Techniques

Commonly performed under general anesthesia, Dr. Sadati will begin the ethnic rhinoplasty procedure by making small incisions inside the nostrils and a very small one under the nose. He will then raise the soft tissues of the nose and reshape the underlying nasal structure to accomplish the cosmetic objectives discussed during your initial consultation. Dr. Sadati will re-drape the soft tissue over the nose and close the incisions.

Open Rhinoplasty

Most Orange County plastic surgeons (including Dr. Sadati) prefer the open rhinoplasty approach. By making a small incision under the nose and slightly lifting the skin over the nasal structure, the surgeon can view the underlying anatomy of the nose. This makes creating the desired precise shape easier because the plastic surgeon can see the cartilage and bone being altered. Revision rhinoplasties are always performed using the open method.

The downside of an open rhinoplasty is that it takes slightly longer to perform than a closed rhinoplasty. It also requires a more extensive surgical dissection of the nasal structures for a precise framework, which may create prolonged swelling. The surgeon can add a cartilage graft to create stable structural support. Overall, an open rhinoplasty provides an excellent and stable result for patients.

Closed Rhinoplasty

Also known as an endonasal rhinoplasty, a closed rhinoplasty is an older surgical technique. In this technique, all the incisions are made inside the nose. While this sounds ideal, it is actually very difficult to perform because the surgeon cannot physically see the nasal anatomy.

It is similar to a mechanic fixing the engine without lifting the hood and fixing it by feeling under the hood. A closed rhinoplasty takes less time to perform than an open rhinoplasty and can have excellent results if performed by a specialized, highly trained plastic surgeon.

During / After Surgery

Depending on your unique needs and the complexity of your case, surgery can take 1-3 hours. After your procedure, you can expect to experience swelling and bruising.

These symptoms are normal and will subside as the cartilage and facial tissue heal. You will wake from surgery wearing an external nasal splint. This is required for recovery and must be worn for six days to protect your delicate nose. (Despite what you may have heard, we do not pack inside your nose as a part of the recovery process. We have not used this antiquated technique for more than ten years.) The average recovery for a rhinoplasty is four to eight days.

Post-operative healing depends on the complexity of the surgery and how well you follow your post-operative instructions. We strongly recommend that you avoid any strenuous activity during your recovery so that you don't cause additional bleeding and swelling. Allow yourself time to rest and recover from surgery!

Ethnic Rhinoplasty Frequently Asked Questions

Nonsurgical Options?

The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery offers various facial contouring procedures, including non-surgical rhinoplasty. This is a great treatment option for those who desire minor adjustments without the commitment of surgery.

Will I Look Different?

Yes. It's important to have realistic expectations when undergoing cosmetic surgery. Rhinoplasty is a procedure that alters the overall shape of your nose, which will change your appearance. However, Dr. Sadati will use advanced digital technology to show you potential before-and-after photos.

Emotional Recovery?

Some patients question their decision to undergo rhinoplasty days after surgery. This is not unusual. It can be traumatic to experience the incisions and swelling that occur following rhinoplasty. If you're feeling overwhelmed, remember that you are in the early phases of recovery, and this feeling will pass. Second-guessing your surgery is normal. These thoughts generally disappear within a few days as the healing occurs.

Remember that you've entrusted your nose to a highly skilled plastic surgeon with many years of experience. After the incisions heal and the swelling subsides, you will feel wonderful! It is human nature to compare ourselves to others and to solicit feedback on our progress. Unfortunately, the input of family and friends can create emotional turmoil during your recovery. Please trust Dr. Sadati's evaluation of your progress. He has conducted thousands of surgeries and will advise you on what to expect.

Cost of Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty can be performed for cosmetic and functional reasons. While insurance will not pay for cosmetic surgery, it does provide coverage for medically required nasal surgery. Our office is happy to discuss insurance coverage and answer your questions. During your initial consultation for ethnic rhinoplasty, Newport Beach facial plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Sadati can discuss financial options and pricing and answer any other questions you may have.
