If you are unhappy with the appearance of your nose, or you would like to breathe more freely, our Marina del Rey rhinoplasty with Dr. Luis Macias can help.
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that is designed to reshape the nasal structure and create a more balanced and attractive face. Also known as nose surgery or a “nose job,” the procedure can be life-changing for patients of many ages.
There are many ways Dr. Macias can perform nose surgery to give our Redondo Beach patients more harmonious faces. For example, the surgery can be customized to:
Common Questions for Rhinoplasty
Using cutting edge 3D Vectra imaging, Dr. Macias will give you a better idea of what the outcome of your Marina del Rey nose job could look like. This system creates a three-dimensional image of your face and allows Dr. Macias to alter your nose. By making these adjustments to the virtual image of your nose, you can discuss your desired results. This allows you to visualize your new nose and see how different changes will affect your appearance.
Undergoing rhinoplasty can be exciting yet nerve-wracking — the thrill of bringing your facial features in harmony commingling with a nagging fear that you might not like the results. At Aesthetic MdR, we use a cutting-edge simulation technology called Vectra 3D to digitally visualize the final results of the procedure during your consultation.
The Vectra 3D cameras take images of your nose and face from multiple angles, run the images through a software, and produce realistic images of the final results. You can then modify the image with Dr. Macias to create the ideal nose. You don’t have to imagine the results anymore — at Aesthetic MdR, you know exactly how you’ll look at the end.
Dr. Macias performs rhinoplasty procedures in the operating room under general anesthesia. The procedure time is generally two to three hours, but it may vary depending on the extent of the surgery. To begin, Dr. Macias will create an incision either inside the nose or along the columella, which is the strip of tissue that separates the nostrils.
Through those openings, he will raise the cartilage and bones and gently reshape the nasal structure. This may involve removing bone or cartilage, or grafting cartilage to the area. If you have a deviated septum, he will straighten it to improve breathing. Dr. Macias will then close the incisions and place splints and gauze in the nose to promote healing.
The recovery process is typically seven days, at which time the splints and any sutures are removed. You can expect some bruising that may last another week and swelling that may persist a bit longer.
If your nose has stopped growing and you are in good general health, nose surgery in Marina del Rey may be a way to accomplish your aesthetic goals and feel more confident about your looks. In addition, you should have realistic expectations about what the procedure can accomplish.
