The Art of Rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills: Achieving Natural Results with Expert Surgeons

The nose, a central and defining feature of the face, significantly influences our overall appearance and the balance of our facial features. Even subtle discrepancies in its size, shape, or symmetry can impact one’s self-confidence and how they perceive their overall aesthetic. For individuals in Beverly Hills seeking to refine their nasal contours while maintaining a natural and harmonious look, the artistry of Rhinoplasty, particularly when performed by expert surgeons like Dr. Catherine Chang, MD, FACS, offers a transformative solution. Dr. Chang, a world-renowned rhinoplasty expert and craniofacial specialist at Privé Beverly Hills, possesses a deep understanding of facial anatomy and the importance of preserving individual heritage while enhancing your best features, ensuring results that look as though they were always meant to be.

Understanding the Nuances of Bespoke Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, better known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping the nose to improve its aesthetic appearance and, importantly, its function, such as improving breathing for patients with a deviated septum or other conditions. Dr. Chang’s approach emphasizes bespoke techniques, recognizing that each patient’s facial anatomy and desired outcome are unique. As a craniofacial specialist, she understands the delicate balance required to enhance nasal features while maintaining facial harmony and a signature natural look. Rhinoplasty adjusts both the upper, bony portion of the nose and the lower, cartilaginous portion.

The Comprehensive Benefits of Rhinoplasty

Choosing rhinoplasty with a recognized expert like Dr. Chang offers a wide array of benefits, addressing both cosmetic and functional concerns:

Facial Balance and Harmony: By carefully reshaping the nose, rhinoplasty can bring it into better proportion with other facial features, creating a more aesthetically pleasing and harmonious overall appearance.
Improved Size and Profile: Rhinoplasty can refine the nasal bridge and profile, addressing concerns about a nose that is too large or out of proportion with the face.
Refined Nasal Tip and Nostrils: Dr. Chang can refine the width and size of the nostrils and sculpt the nasal tip to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing contour.
Removal of Nasal Dorsal Hump: Prominent bumps on the bridge of the nose can be effectively removed, creating a smoother profile.
Correcting a Deviated Septum: Rhinoplasty can address structural issues like a deviated septum, leading to significant improvements in breathing.
Improved Breathing: For patients with nasal obstructions, rhinoplasty can open nasal passages and enhance airflow.
Achieve Natural Results: Dr. Chang is best known for her meticulous attention to detail and her ability to create smooth contours and refined features that flow seamlessly with the rest of the face, achieving results so natural, it will be your best-kept secret™.

The art of rhinoplasty, when masterfully executed by a specialist like Dr. Chang, is about more than just changing the shape of the nose; it’s about enhancing natural beauty, restoring confidence, and improving nasal function through personalized and impactful improvements.

Are You a Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty may be performed for both cosmetic and functional reasons. Whether you desire to improve the size and appearance of your nose for a smoother nasal bridge and profile or need to correct a deviated septum or a broken nose to resolve breathing problems, Dr. Chang considers several factors to determine if you are a good candidate, including:

Age: While there is no strict age limit, it’s generally recommended that the nose has reached its full adult size.
Facial Anatomy: Dr. Chang will assess your unique facial structure and the proportions of your nose concerning your other features.
Overall Health: Good physical and mental health are essential for undergoing any elective surgical procedure.
Result Expectations: Having realistic expectations about what rhinoplasty can achieve is crucial for patient satisfaction.
History of Prior Rhinoplasty: Revision rhinoplasty can be more complex, and Dr. Chang will carefully evaluate your history.
History of Prior Nasal Trauma: Previous injuries to the nose can affect the surgical approach.

If you are in good health and have reasonable expectations for how you want your nose to look and function, you may be a great candidate for rhinoplasty with Dr. Chang.

A Bespoke Rhinoplasty Procedure

At Privé Beverly Hills, Dr. Chang exclusively performs open rhinoplasty, a technique that provides the necessary surgical access and precision for achieving highly tailored results, especially in complex cases.

Open Rhinoplasty: This method involves a small, discreet incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), allowing Dr. Chang to lift the nasal skin and gain complete visibility of the internal bone and cartilage. This comprehensive access enables meticulous and natural-looking refinements, respecting each patient’s unique facial features. Dr. Chang’s expert incision placement and careful closure ensure any resulting scars are virtually imperceptible.

Recovery Journey

When performed by rhinoplasty specialist Dr. Chang, patients often experience a shorter recovery time, with most returning to work in as little as 1 to 2 weeks. Immediately after the procedure, you may experience some swelling, redness, and bruising to varying degrees, potentially including slight tenderness and bruising on your cheeks and below your eyes. Your new nose will be splinted on the outside for protection and support, and typically, no internal packing is used. The dressing is usually worn for a week and then removed, along with any remaining stitches.

You will notice great improvements in the shape and size of your nose after the first week. As swelling decreases and tissues begin to heal over the following months (up to one year, varying from person to person), you will see gradual refinements in the final outcome.
