Consultation

The pre-operative consultation phase is the key first step in the rhinoplasty procedure. If the surgeon invests a fair amount of time at this stage, it will have a positive impact on the final outcome of the procedure. The surgeon and their medical team will review the general health condition, condition of the nose in relation to other facial features, any functional and aesthetic anomalies of the nose, and perform a few diagnostic or medical tests if necessary.

The patient’s medical and surgical history, including any previous nasal breathing problems and sinus infections will be evaluated. The surgeon will assess the quality of the nasal skin, and consider any issues that can make the surgery unsafe. Instructions will be provided with regard to smoking, medications and other pre-operative precautions.

Surgical Plan

The surgeon will carefully listen to the patient’s unique aesthetic concerns, goals and aspirations with regard to their nose and face. This feedback will be correlated with other factors evaluated during the initial consultation to create a customized surgical plan for rhinoplasty.

The plan would incorporate aspects such as narrowing of the nostrils, reshaping the nasal tip, removing a hump from the nasal bridge, straightening a crooked nose, or adjusting the angle between the nose and the upper lip.

Procedure

Anesthesia or IV Sedation

Rhinoplasty procedure is often performed using light general anesthesia or local anesthesia with IV sedation. The patient will be monitored closely throughout the surgical procedure. Anesthesia procedure will be approved a day in advance with the anesthetist reviewing the patient’s medical records to determine their fitness for the procedure.

Surgery

Rhinoplasty will be performed as an open or closed surgery, depending on the extent of alterations involved. The surgeon will add, remove or modify tissue or synthetic implants during the procedure. In case of open rhinoplasty, the skin will be lifted off the nasal structure to expose the underlying tissue. In case of closed rhinoplasty, the incisions will be hidden within the nostrils.

Closed rhinoplasty is less invasive and leaves no visible scarring. But the procedure must only be performed by an expert facial plastic surgeon because it is more intricate and offers little visibility to the surgeon. Once the procedure is completed, the surgeon will close the incisions with sutures and apply bandages.

Aftercare

Following the rhinoplasty procedure, the patient will spend at least one hour in the recovery area under the monitoring of medical staff. Most patients can return home the same day after a few hours under observation.

Rhinoplasty or nose surgery is an intricate procedure that can have a dramatic impact on the overall appearance of the face.

Specializing in Facial Plastic Surgery

Any cosmetic or plastic surgeon is authorized to perform rhinoplasty, but not all plastic surgeons are alike when it comes to facial procedures. Facial plastic surgery is a complex specialty, and a facial procedure such as rhinoplasty should ideally be performed by a plastic surgeon specializing in the field of otolaryngology and facial plastic surgery.

A specialist in this field would have received dedicated training in various facial procedures, and would have a close understanding of how to maintain proportion between the nose and the chin and other facial features with rhinoplasty. A facial plastic surgeon would also be in the best position to ensure that the patient’s essential facial identity and integrity is not compromised, while meeting their aesthetic goals as closely as possible.

Board Certifications

A facial plastic surgeon with advanced training and proven expertise would go through a rigorous selection process to receive a board certification from an authoritative and prestigious board of surgery. A board certification from a widely respected board would automatically serve as an assurance for the patient that they have chosen a surgeon who is distinguished in the field of facial plastic surgery, including rhinoplasty.

Board certified facial plastic surgeons would also be required to clear periodic exams, and would therefore stay updated with the latest surgical techniques, technology and safety protocols. Dr. V belongs to a select group of facial plastic surgeons who have earned board certifications both from the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) and the American Board of Otolaryngology (ABOto), two of the most coveted facial plastic surgery boards in the industry.

Hospital Privileges

The rhinoplasty surgeon should ideally have hospital privileges at one or more leading hospitals in the local area. In the rare event of an emergency, the patient will have the assurance of getting access to hospital care. Hospitals grant staff privileges only after rigorous background checks of the surgeon, which will additionally serve as an assurance to the patient that they are in safe hands.

Personal Rapport

A plastic surgery procedure such as rhinoplasty is a personal journey for a patient. They should choose a surgeon with whom they feel comfortable and are able to freely share their aesthetic and health needs and concerns. The surgeon should be willing to engage and give personalized care and attention to the patient at every step of the procedure.

By the time an individual enters the 50’s, they are usually a fantastic candidate for some kind of facial plastic surgery procedure. The facial skin tends to lose elasticity with age, and in the 50’s the skin laxity shows more conspicuously. At the same time, a fair degree of elasticity is still intact to produce highly attractive and natural looking results.

Experienced facial plastic surgeon Dr. Trang Vo-Nguyen (Dr. V) providing a comprehensive range of facial procedures to patients in Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, Warrenton, and surrounding locations.

Facelift and Neck Lift

In the 50’s, aging, gravitational forces, environmental exposure and illness have usually taken some toll on the facial tissue and skin. This reflects in the form of deep wrinkles and lines, loss of facial volume and sagging skin in the lower, mid, and upper face.

Facelift and neck lift are two of the most effective cosmetic surgery procedures to rejuvenate deeper facial structures and restore a more youthful looking appearance. Fullness to the cheeks, jaw line and neck contours are successfully achieved with a combination of facelift and neck lift.

Liposuction of the Face and Neck

Some people in their 50’s will tend to accumulate unsightly fat deposits in the face and neck region, but their skin elasticity is still reasonably good. The facial plastic surgeon may recommend a limited procedure such as liposuction of the face and neck to sculpt the key features and improve definition.

A neck liposuction surgery can eliminate the appearance of double chin or triple chin and enhance the neck and jaw line. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. V receives patients from Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, Warrenton, and nearby areas for this surgery.

Cheek Implants

Loss of facial volume in the mid-face area can occur during the 50’s. This can give a depleted or sunken look to the cheeks and create deeper nasolabial folds. The surgeon may recommend cheek augmentation procedure, involving the placement of silicone or biocompatible cheek implants to restore volume and lift the mid-face.

The incision in case of cheek implant surgery will be made from the inside of the mouth. Therefore, no external visible scarring will occur. Some patients may choose a non-surgical alternative such as Juvederm Voluma derma filler injections to restore cheek volume.

Brow Lift

A brow lift or forehead lift surgery can be performed to restore a younger look to the upper face. Heavily droopy skin in the brow area will make the face look angry, tired or old, and can also cause partial vision obstruction. A brow lift or forehead lift surgery can be performed to correct furrows in the brow and deep horizontal forehead creases.

Eyelid Lift

You skin around the eyes is more sensitive and may tend to become redundant with age. People in their 50’s may choose upper or lower eyelid lift or both to restore more refreshed and youthful looking eyelids. Ptosis can also be removed along with eyelid lift surgery.

Facial signs of aging and other anomalies related to the ears, eyes, nose, or the neck will show more conspicuously because face is the most visible part of the body. People in their 40’s can benefit substantially from a range of facial plastic surgery procedures and restore a youthful look.

Facelift

Facelift is one of the most popular procedures for people in their 40’s. It is a comprehensive surgery designed to provide a subtle lift to the sagging mid-face and lower face, and minimize wrinkles and fine lines. Excess loose skin and fat is removed through discreetly placed incisions, and in some cases, underlying facial muscles may also be tightened and repositioned.

Neck Lift

Sagging skin in the neck area, appearance of neck bands due to excess fat tissue, prominent jowls, or a double chin are common concerns for people in their 40’s. These conditions can be corrected with neck lift surgery. The procedure is often performed in conjunction with a facelift to create more harmonious looking outcomes.

Brow Lift

Saggy or furrowed look of the brows may occur when the skin begins to lose elasticity in the upper face. This can make the face appear angry, tired, or old. Brow lift surgery is designed to tighten loose skin in the eyebrows and reduce fine lines between them. Horizontal lines on the forehead can also be corrected together with brow lift surgery.

Facial Fat Transfer

In the 40’s, many people will tend to have thinner facial skin, hollows in the cheek area, and depleted temple area or lips. Facial volume can be restored with a less invasive facial fat transfer procedure to make the face appear fuller and rounder. The fat tissue is often taken from the patient’s own body, which makes the procedure safer and more sustainable.

Nose Reshaping Surgery

Rhinoplasty or nose surgery ranks among the top five most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in the US. The procedure can significantly improve the shape or size of the nose, including the widening or narrowing of the dorsum, correcting upturned or flared nostrils, refining the nasal tip, removing a nasal bump, or straightening a crooked nose. Functional improvements can also be made to remove breathing obstructions along with aesthetic corrections.

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty or eyelid lift surgery can be performed to rejuvenate the lower or upper eyelids or both. Droopy upper lids, hollows below the lower eyelids, under eye bags, and dark circles can be improved with blepharoplasty. The appearance of crow’s feet around the eyes can also be corrected. If the patient suffers from ptosis, the surgeon will correct that condition along with the cosmetic enhancements.

Rapid developments in the field of cosmetic surgery have led to the emergence of a number of less invasive, innovative procedures that are well-suited even for younger people in their 20’s.

Mini Facelift

In some cases, a person in the 20’s may begin to develop fine lines and soft wrinkles on the face due to heredity factors, sun exposure, illness, or aging. In such cases, a partial or mini facelift, also popularly known as a weekend facelift, can help to rejuvenate the skin. It involves small, discreetly placed incisions within the hairline to improve facial contours. No changes in the muscular structure are made, and only the excess skin and fat may be removed in this procedure.

Nose Surgery

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job or nose reshaping surgery, is popular among people in their 20’s and even among some teenagers who have completed their nasal development. The procedure may involve augmenting or reducing the size of the nose, improving the shape of flared nostrils, refining a flat nasal tip, removing a bump from the nasal bridge, or other cosmetic and functional alterations. When it is done right, rhinoplasty can dramatically enhance the facial appearance.

Lip Augmentation

One of the aesthetic desires among many young women in their 20’s is to create enhanced fullness of the lips to make them more appealing. This can be achieved with lip augmentation, which involves dermal fat grafting injections. Living tissue is removed from another part of the patient’s body and injected into the lip area. Dermal filler injections may also be used for non-surgical lip augmentation.

This is an in-office procedure, which can be performed without general anesthesia. The surgeon will numb the area locally, and place a small incision on the inside of the cheek and suture it in the desired way to create a dimple. No scar will be seen on the outside of the cheek.
