Rhinoplasty, often called a nose job, is one of the most common facial surgeries in the world because it can significantly improve self-esteem, body image, and physical health, including sleep quality.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Olivier Deigni offers cosmetic rhinoplasty to help you enhance your nose and potentially improve your breathing. Dr Deigni also has expertise in both open and closed rhinoplasty procedures and can help you choose the procedure that will give you the best results.

During your one-on-one consultation, Dr. Deigni will carefully evaluate your needs and deliver a personalized rhinoplasty solution.

Do I Need Rhinoplasty?

The most common reason why our patients opt for rhinoplasty is simple: they are unhappy with the natural look, size, and shape of their noses, and they want to enhance their most central facial feature. The most common concerns we receive from our patients regarding their noses include:

  • Bulbous tip
  • Not photogenic
  • Does not fit their face
  • Too prominent or too large
  • Damaged from accidents or birth defects
  • Asymmetrical, crooked, or disproportional

Is Rhinoplasty Right for Me?

Rhinoplasty may be right for you when you have aesthetic concerns regarding the size, shape, or symmetry of your nose. Above all else, you should have clear, realistic expectations about the outcomes of your procedure. When you are considering rhinoplasty, you should be in good overall health with no untreated chronic conditions. Smokers should be willing to quit before surgery, as smoking can severely impair healing and increase your risk of developing complications.

Candidates for rhinoplasty in Cypress should have fully developed facial bones. This is typically around the age of 15 for girls and 18 for boys. Dr. Deigni recommends that patients wait until their early twenties for better-looking, longer-lasting results, but he can evaluate younger patients on a case-by-case basis. Your eligibility and suitability for this procedure can be expertly assessed at your initial, one-on-one consultation with Dr. Deigni.

The Rhinoplasty Surgical Procedure

Your procedure will be performed according to the surgical strategy outlined by Dr. Deigni during your consultation. You will be briefed on the procedural overview of your surgery, which will be customized based on your individual needs. This strategy will differ between patients based on individual patient factors, as well as the decision to opt for a closed rhinoplasty or an open rhinoplasty.

The overall nose surgery procedure will involve Dr. Deigni making incisions in and around your nose, through which he will remove, sculpt, or otherwise enhance parts of your nasal bones and cartilage as needed.

Dr. Deigni uses advanced plastic surgery techniques to help his patients achieve the best results where possible. Some of the strategies he may employ to help you achieve your ideal nose include:

  • Defining your nasal bridge by shifting your nasal bones
  • Strategically reshaping your nasal cartilage to reduce a dorsal hump
  • Eliminating a bulbous tip with cartilage grafting and precision suture placement
  • Augmenting your nose with cartilage harvested from the septum, back of the ear, or rib to enhance the appearance and symmetry of your nose

Your rhinoplasty will take place under general anesthesia and will require at least three to five hours.

Taking Care of Yourself After Rhinoplasty

After your appointment, when necessary, you will be given a short course of antibiotics and pain medication to ease any (mild) discomfort you may experience. Though individual patient experiences differ, you can generally expect a recovery period of two weeks.

Following proper aftercare guidance is crucial to achieving your rhinoplasty’s desired results and ensuring a successful recovery. Dr. Deigni will provide you with specialized directions to aid your recovery progress. You will also attend follow-up appointments with Dr. Deigni so he can monitor your progress.

Here is some generalized guidance we offer to patients. For the first two weeks following your rhinoplasty, you should avoid:

  • Alcohol
  • Smoking
  • Cosmetics
  • Sun exposure
  • Contact sports
  • Blowing your nose
  • Working out or going to the gym

Following your two-week recovery period, you can return to work or your normal daily activities. It is recommended that you wait four weeks to resume exercise.
