Procedure- Rhinoplasty in San Diego, CA

Based on the patient's goals for surgery, Dr. Mark Mofid, who performs Rhinoplasty in San Diego, 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.
