Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery) - San Diego and La Jolla Plastic Surgeon Dr. Mark Mofid
Because the ideal nose is different for everyone, it is important for men and women considering nose surgery to seek out a plastic surgeon dedicated to providing highly individualized care. Dr. Mark Mofid, who provides rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, to San Diego, La Jolla, and Chula Vista patients, can do so. He strives to give each patient a clear idea of the rhinoplasty results that he or she can anticipate before the surgery so that the patient's finished appearance will turn out as expected.
Candidates
Men and women who experience functional and/or aesthetic problems with their noses may choose to undergo rhinoplasty, or nose surgery. Good rhinoplasty candidates typically desire noses that complement their facial features and appear natural. It is recommended that patients wait until at least their late teenage years before proceeding with aesthetic surgical treatment of the nose. Rhinoplasty surgery by San Diego and La Jolla-area plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Mofid can address any of the following aesthetic problems with the nose:
- Too large or too small in comparison with other facial features.
- Bump on the bridge of the nose.
- Wide nose.
- Nasal tip that droops, protrudes, or is bulbous.
- Flared or pinched nostrils.
- Crooked nose.
- Nose damage due to injury.
Patients with breathing problems due to irregularities in the internal structure of the nose may also contact plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Mofid to learn how rhinoplasty can benefit them.
Procedure
Based on the patient's goals for surgery, Dr. Mark Mofid will choose whether to conduct an open rhinoplasty or a closed rhinoplasty. In an open rhinoplasty, an incision is made on the underside of the nose. Dr. Mofid shapes the bone and cartilage until the desired result is achieved and then closes the incisions. A closed rhinoplasty provides Dr. Mofid with less access, but the incisions for this type of nose surgery are hidden within the nostrils. Depending on each patient's needs, Dr. Mofid will determine which type of rhinoplasty will produce the most natural-looking, precise results.
Results
Nose surgery brings the whole face into balance by eliminating the flaws in the nose that distract from the patient's natural beauty. During the recovery period, the final results will not be visible because of swelling. Once the swelling fully subsides, the patient can see the finished results of his or her rhinoplasty. The symmetry, size, and shape of the nose will be modified to the patient's specifications. Dr. Mark Mofid's ultimate goal is to achieve an improved but perfectly natural look.
