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