Types of Rhinoplasty

Cosmetic rhinoplasty

Primarily focuses on enhancing the nose's aesthetic appearance, addressing issues like humps, size, or asymmetry to achieve a desired look.

Reconstructive rhinoplasty

Tailored to correct structural defects or injuries, aiming to restore nasal function and a natural appearance, especially after trauma or prior surgery.

Ethnic rhinoplasty

A personalized approach that respects and maintains ethnic characteristics while making desired modifications, ensuring that the nose harmonizes with other facial features.

Male rhinoplasty

Designed to cater to the unique aesthetic desires and anatomical differences of male patients, emphasizing a more robust and sharper appearance.

Revision rhinoplasty

Also known as secondary rhinoplasty, this procedure corrects issues or irregularities from previous nose surgery, which is typically more complex due to the altered anatomy and scar tissue.

Female rhinoplasty

Concentrates on achieving a softer, refined appearance, often emphasizing subtle contours and a more delicate nasal tip.

Complementary procedures

To further enhance facial balance, consider combining rhinoplasty with chin augmentation.

What Will Recovery Be Like After Your Rhinoplastsy in Seattle?

Follow Surgeon's Instructions: Carefully adhere to your surgeon's post-operative guidelines, including any medication schedules and restrictions.
Rest and Elevate: Get plenty of rest, and sleep with your head elevated on pillows to reduce swelling.
Manage Discomfort: Use prescribed pain medication as directed and apply cold compresses to reduce swelling and ease discomfort.
Avoid Nose-Blowing: Refrain from blowing your nose vigorously for a few weeks to prevent disruption of the healing process.
Proper Wound Care: Keep the incision sites clean and follow your surgeon's instructions for changing dressings.
Nasal Saline Spray: Use a saline nasal spray as recommended by your surgeon to keep the nasal passages moist

Diet and Hydration: Maintain a balanced diet and stay well-hydrated to support healing.

Limit Social Activities: Minimize social activities, especially in the initial phase of recovery, to reduce the risk of injury or infection.
Follow-up Appointments: Attend all scheduled post-operative appointments with your surgeon for evaluation and guidance.
