Voted D Magazine’s Best Plastic Surgeon and Top Doctor in America, Dr. Benjamin Bassichis is double board certified by both the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.
The Rhinoplasty Process Explained
Rhinoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia or IV sedation. Dr. Bassichis utilizes a variety of techniques, including open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty, depending on your individual needs and the complexity of the procedure. He meticulously sculpts the nasal cartilage and bone to achieve your desired results while maintaining the natural integrity of your nose.
Open Rhinoplasty
In open rhinoplasty, Dr. Bassichis makes a small incision across the columella, the narrow strip of tissue that separates the nostrils. This technique provides greater visibility and access to the underlying nasal structures, allowing for more complex reshaping and adjustments. Open rhinoplasty is often preferred for cases involving significant reshaping of the nasal tip, correction of asymmetries, or revision rhinoplasty.
Closed Rhinoplasty
Closed rhinoplasty involves making all incisions inside the nostrils, leaving no visible external scars. This technique is generally suitable for less extensive nasal reshaping, such as reducing a dorsal hump or refining the nasal tip. Closed rhinoplasty may offer a slightly faster recovery time and less post-operative swelling compared to open rhinoplasty.
Which Technique is Right for You?
The choice between open and closed rhinoplasty depends on your individual needs and the complexity of your nasal concerns. Dr. Bassichis will carefully evaluate your nasal anatomy and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine the most appropriate technique for you. He will explain the benefits and limitations of each approach, ensuring that you are well-informed and confident in your decision.
Recovery and Aftercare
Following your rhinoplasty, you can expect some swelling and bruising, which will gradually subside over the following weeks. Dr. Bassichis will provide detailed post-operative instructions to promote a comfortable and smooth recovery. Most patients can return to work and social activities within a week or two, although strenuous activities may need to be limited for a longer period.
