showRhinoplasty Procedures
Rhinoplasty, nose job, or nasal surgery is a leading procedure that helps improve the look and function of the nose. If you have an unsightly bump on your nose, if you were born with an asymmetrical nose, or if your nose was injured and breathing is difficult, see Dr. Wallach. He will examine and consult with you regarding the right surgical procedure that works just for you. This surgical procedure generally takes up to two hours. Recovery varies for everyone but typically, rest is needed for two weeks, after that you can start to slowly resume your normal routine.
Dr. Wallach is your one-stop rhinoplasty surgeon who specializes in the following techniques:
1. ALAR BASE REDUCTION
Alar base reduction surgery is often performed in patients with a wide nasal base they call flaring nostrils. There are different types of alar base reduction procedures and most can be accomplished under local anesthesia.
2. AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION OR BREATHING DIFFICULTIES
Not all rhinoplasty procedures are designed to treat airway obstruction or breathing problems. The most common airway obstruction or breathing issues are caused by a septal deviation, nasal polyps or internal/external valve collapse. The result of correcting these breathing issues is not just to improve breathing but to also enhance your full facial appearance. This way the function of the nose can be improved.
3. GRAFT OPTIONS
A surgical rhinoplasty procedure that requires grafting can be done by using a patient’s own tissue or by using a synthetic or cadaver material. Graft options present a lower risk of infection and a lessening of extended nasal position.
4. OPEN VS. CLOSED APPROACH
Dr. Wallach can determine which surgical incision technique will work for you. Both open and closed incision options are popularly used by surgeons. Open rhinoplasty involves an incision made at the base of the nose. Closed rhinoplasty involves all the incisions being made inside the nose.
5. OSTEOTOMIES
Rhinoplasty surgeons perform osteotomies. This process is used to remove the nasal bone. An experienced surgeon can cut, shave, and move the nasal bone to reshape and mold your desired rhinoplasty goal.
6. TIP REFINEMENT
Many individuals seek out a surgeon to correct or improve their nasal tip. Some features for this procedure involve tips that are cleft, boxy, bulbous, or rounded. In some procedures, a cartilage graft is required.
