Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery) Before and After Photos

Rhinoplasty may appear to be a simple facial surgery, but in reality it is a complex and intricate procedure that can dramatically improve the overall facial balance and aesthetics. A committed plastic surgeon will always try to ensure that the patient understands the procedure carefully before making a decision to go ahead with it.

One of the most effective tools that a surgeon may use during the initial consultation for rhinoplasty and other cosmetic procedures is before and after photos. Dr. Trang Vo-Nguyen is a board certified facial plastic surgeon providing rhinoplasty and various other procedures to patients in Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, Warrenton, and nearby locations.

What are Rhinoplasty Before and After Pictures?

 Rhinoplasty ‘before and after pictures’ refer to a set of images pertaining to a previous patient who has received the same procedure with successful results. The set includes pictures taken before the surgery and after the surgery at a stage when full effects are visible. The cosmetic surgeon will take these pictures with the consent of the patient, and present them before new patients in a discreet way.

The goal of the surgeon is to educate new patients about various aspects of rhinoplasty with the help of rhinoplasty before and after photos. New patients should know at the outset about how the procedure can help meet their personal aesthetic needs. Before and after photos can be used effectively to serve this goal.

Benefits

When a new patient is considering rhinoplasty, they may only have a vague notion of how exactly the procedure will impact their overall facial profile and whether it can address their cosmetic requirements. Some patients may need only a minor alteration to the nose, while others may require a major procedure involving implants, or nasal reconstruction. Similarly, ethnic patients will have their own set of concerns regarding maintaining their essential ethnicity of the face.

Nose surgery before and after photos can help to address these needs, and provide a clear idea to the patient about what the procedure can or cannot do for them. Dr. V ensures that her patients in Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, Warrenton, and nearby areas should receive these photos before making a decision on rhinoplasty.

Having Realistic Expectations

In a cosmetic surgery procedure such as rhinoplasty, best satisfaction levels for patients can be achieved when they have clear aesthetic goals, positive mindset, and realistic expectations. When the patients are given access to rhinoplasty before and after photos during the initial consultation, they can clear understand what to expect and what not to expect from the surgery. This mitigates the risk of any potential disappointment occurring at a later stage.

Digital Pictures on the Website

The plastic surgeon may choose to provide rhinoplasty before and after photos on their practice website. New patients can simply review the pictures on the site in the privacy of their home or office, even before they have made up their mind to visit the surgeon for a consultation.

Financial Factors of this Surgery

Rhinoplasty costs can differ between two practices and even between two patients at the same practice. A number of factors can influence the overall dollar amount of this procedure.

Geographical Location

One of the key factors to impact the price of rhinoplasty and other plastic surgery procedures is the location of the practice. The cost of living index varies from place to place, which will affect the average financial impact of products and services in an area. For instance, the cost of rhinoplasty in Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, Warrenton, and surrounding communities may not be the same as the monetary amount in, say, Florida.

Cosmetic Surgeon’s Fee

The fee of the cosmetic surgeon performing rhinoplasty can differ according to their skills, experience, and reputation in the field of facial plastic surgery. As per the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, patients should select the right surgeon for their needs, and factors such as the surgeon’s fee should only be secondary considerations to such a decision.

Anesthesia and Operating Facility Price Tag

In some cases, rhinoplasty will be performed under general anesthesia. The anesthesiologist’s fee can differ on the basis of their qualifications and experience. Surgical room costs can vary between a state of the art facility with advanced technology and personalized services and an average operating facility.

Extent of Surgery

If the patient needs only a minor aesthetic improvement of the nose, such as removal of a nasal bump or refining of the nasal tip, the procedure will be relatively simpler and less costly. On the other hand, a procedure involving major nose reconstruction, correction of both functional and aesthetic problems, placing of nasal implants, or ethnic improvements, may be more complex, time consuming, and costlier.

Average Stipulated Cost

According to the ASPS data for 2013, the average dollar amount of rhinoplasty in the United States was $4,545. However, the ASPS clarified that the affect on your bank account did not include the costs of general anesthesia, operating facility fees, and related surgical expenses. The overall dollar figure of rhinoplasty may range from $7,500 to $14,000, depending on various factors.

Insurance and Financing

Health insurance may cover full or partial costs of rhinoplasty, if it is performed to correct certain functional anomalies such as breathing difficulties. In cases where the procedure is performed only for aesthetic reasons, insurance will not be covered. Most patients will have a variety of financing options to pay for the procedure in convenient monthly installments.

What is Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)?

Rhinoplasty or nose surgery is procedure designed to improve the shape or size of the nose in proportion to the rest of the facial features. The nose is one of the most strategic facial features, and even a mild aesthetic alteration to it can have a magnified impact on the overall facial appearance. The most important part for a plastic surgeon is to maintain the essential identity and integrity of the face, and yet achieving the desired aesthetic enhancement of the nose.

Customized Procedure

While nose surgery is one of the most rewarding and gratifying aesthetic procedures, it is also one of the intricate ones. A customized surgical plan must be created to match with the unique aesthetic needs of a patient. Each nose has a different shape and size, and the perfectly fitting nasal shape and size must be created with rhinoplasty.

Functional or Cosmetic Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty surgery may be performed to correct aesthetic or functional anomalies, or both in some cases. Open or closed rhinoplasty techniques are available to perform the procedure.

Functional Rhinoplasty

One of the most common functional concerns related to the nose is a deviated septum, which can lead to obstruction in the nasal airway, causing difficulties in breathing. In some cases, functional rhinoplasty may also be required to address the oversized internal bones or turbinates, or collapse nasal passages. Many times, the surgeon will recommend functional rhinoplasty in combination with aesthetic enhancement of the nose to produce comprehensive and stellar results.

Cosmetic Rhinoplasty

Cosmetic rhinoplasty is more popular, where the patient needs only aesthetic improvements to make the overall facial appearance more balanced and attractive. This procedure may involve refining of the nasal tip, straightening the dorsum or the nose length, reducing nostril size, increase the dorsum size, subduing a prominent dorsal hump, reducing nasal width, or changing the overall size of the nose.

Open and Closed Rhinoplasty

As an experienced facial plastic surgeon, Dr. V will recommend the appropriate rhinoplasty surgical technique for her patients in Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, Warrenton, and surrounding communities. The two primary techniques in this procedure are open and closed rhinoplasty.

In the case of open rhinoplasty, the surgeon will place the incision across the columella, or the delicate column of tissue that separates the nostrils. The incision will extend into the inside of the nostrils from where the surgeon will retract the skin by separating it from cartilage and bone. The advantage with open surgery is that the surgeon can view the anatomy clearly and correct the anomalies to achieve desirable aesthetic results.

In case of closed rhinoplasty, the incisions are made inside the nostrils, which mean that no scarring is visible from the outside. The nasal skin is not lifted, and the corrections are performed through the internal incisions. The recovery period involved is quicker in this case, and results can be very similar to that of open rhinoplasty.
