Dr. Sang W. Kim are board-certified surgeons out of the Natural Face™ Clinics, where they perform rhinoplasty on patients from Skaneateles, NY.
What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a rapidly growing cosmetic surgery performed on the nose. More commonly referred to as a nose job, rhinoplasty can be used to enhance the overall aesthetic appearance of the face by reducing or improving the shape or size of the nose. Because the nose is a center focal point of the face, improving its appearance can drastically improve the appearance of the entire face. Rhinoplasty can balance out facial proportions, straighten a crooked nose, reduce the width or length of the nose, and correct disfigurations of the nose. Functional rhinoplasty can also be performed to improve breathing problems, such as those stemming from a deviated septum.
How is rhinoplasty performed?
Most commonly, rhinoplasty patients are given general anesthesia. Local anesthesia may be used in some cases for small or mild nasal corrections. Rhinoplasty may be performed using an open or closed approach, depending on the case, surgery goals and surgeon technique. During the closed technique, all incisions are made inside the nose through the nostrils, reducing scarring and incisions. The open technique allows doctors increased exposure and is ideal for cases of severely crooked noses, as well as for patients who are having a revision rhinoplasty.
Additionally, because the nose changes with age, preservation of structural integrity during the surgery is crucial to an optimal long-term outcome. Dr. Kim understand this concept well and utilize a comprehensive approach to all surgeries.
