The Different Types of Rhinoplasty

A rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a “nose job”, is a customized surgery, with no two procedures alike. The first step in planning a successful treatment is a private consultation with Dr. Givens to discuss your personal vision for your nose surgery in Austin and determine which surgical approach is right for you.

Open Rhinoplasty

  • In an open rhinoplasty, an incision is made on the columella (the strip of skin between the nostrils) in an upside down V-shaped pattern to minimize scar visibility. All other incisions are made within the nose. Dr. Givens commonly utilizes the open approach to correct marked tip deformities, significant overprojection or nasal trauma, and extensive revision surgery.

Closed Rhinoplasty

  • In a closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made within the nasal structure leaving no external scar. This surgical approach is advantageous for cases in which less comprehensive changes to the nasal structure are required and/or when the goal of surgery is to improve anatomic nasal airway obstruction.

Recovery after Rhinoplasty in Austin, TX

A rhinoplasty in Austin, at Givens Facial Plastic Surgery, is an individually tailored surgery that creates more harmonious facial balance and beauty by reshaping and supporting the nasal structure. While each patient will have a unique experience, Dr. Givens has found that those who educate themselves before surgery and follow her post-operative care instructions usually have the easiest recoveries and the best outcomes.

Your external nasal splint will be removed from the nasal bridge one week after surgery, and the majority of bruising and swelling will resolve within two weeks. While it is normal to feel impatient while waiting for your final nasal reshaping result, remember that same day surgery does not equal same day recovery! You should allow yourself extra rest, a nutritious diet to promote healing, and avoid stress during the healing process.

Rhinoplasty FAQ

What other procedures can be performed alongside rhinoplasty?

Many facial procedures can be performed alongside rhinoplasty to achieve a more harmonious and balanced facial appearance. Common complementary procedures include facelifts or eyelid surgery for an overall rejuvenated and youthful look.

Can a Rhinoplasty improve my breathing?

A rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to enhance appearance and restore function. A septoplasty straightens septal deviation within the nose and improves breathing. Together, a septorhinoplasty enhances the outer appearance and inner structure of the nose while increasing overall nasal patency.

How long does it take to achieve a final result after a Rhinoplasty?

A rhinoplasty is performed to create a nasal shape that balances well with your facial features and demonstrates your natural beauty. To achieve this, the nasal structure must be meticulously altered and reshaped to not only enhance appearance but also support the underlying anatomy to last a lifetime. While it takes a minimum of six months for the majority of nasal swelling to resolve, it will take at least a full year for the nose to reach its final contour. In cases that involve significant tip correction, inherently thick nasal skin, or extensive revision surgery, full results may take up to two years.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PERFORM A RHINOPLASTY?

The time required to perform a rhinoplasty is based on surgeon experience, operative technique, and complexity of patient anatomy. Additional time may be required if your procedure is performed in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation treatments. When it comes to your face, there is no reason to compromise on quality.

At what age can I undergo a Rhinoplasty?

There is no ideal age to have a rhinoplasty. However, a comprehensive medical assessment and physical evaluation with Dr. Givens is required if you are considering a nose job in Austin. While it is Dr. Givens’ preference to perform significant nasal reshaping post-puberty, there are exceptions to this rule and the decision to undergo surgery is case dependent.

What is a Revision Rhinoplasty?

A revision rhinoplasty is a corrective surgical procedure that addresses new or persistent imperfections of the nasal appearance and breathing issues after a failed initial nasal reshaping procedure. This very procedure is among the most delicate and challenging of all facial surgeries. A revision rhinoplasty requires expert technique skills and a comprehensive understanding of complex nasal anatomy.

How successful is Revision Rhinoplasty surgery?

Most of the time, an experienced surgeon can produce long-lasting results that both of you are pleased with—often for several decades. However, even in the most experienced hands, there are no guarantees in surgery. Dr. Givens’ approach to success begins with a private consultation to physically examine your nasal structure and ultimately understand your concerns prior to developing a customized treatment plan.

How soon can I undergo a Revision Rhinoplasty, and is it more expensive than a Primary Rhinoplasty?

While Dr. Givens is empathetic to your concerns and needs, she will not schedule a revision rhinoplasty in Austin for at least six months from the date of your first surgery and more likely closer to a full year unless absolutely necessary. It is imperative to allow for most if not all of the post-operative swelling and inflammation to resolve prior to further operation. A revision surgery is often more expensive than a primary rhinoplasty as repair and restoration procedures are usually very time-consuming and much more complex.

Will I need a Revision Rhinoplasty if I break my nose after my first nasal reshaping surgery?

Trauma to the nose affects each patient differently. As a result, there is no guarantee as to if you will need further treatment. However, you should notify Dr. Givens if you do incur a traumatic incident after your initial reshaping procedure to address the issue and discuss future treatment options.
