Dr. Yousefi offers Rhinoplasty for patients in Washington, DC, Vienna, Arlington and surrounding areas of Northern Virginia.
If you feel your nose doesn’t quite fit your face due to its size or shape, then a Rhinoplasty may be for you. Rhinoplasty in Vienna is a common cosmetic procedure to modify the shape or size of your nose. Whether you want to remove a bump, narrow the bridge, or change your tip size, nose surgery can help.
There are many different ways of performing this procedure, and it all depends on the issue that you have, the changes that you desire, and the changes that technically can be made. Each face is unique, and no two noses are the same. Therefore, the surgery of the nose is always different for everyone.
How is Rhinoplasty in Washington, DC Performed?
Dr. Yousefi will begin with small incisions that are made inside the nostrils. He can then re-contour your nasal profile to create a natural-looking nose that's in balance with your other facial features. The bone and cartilage are sculpted and repositioned during the procedure and almost in all cases the incisions are not visible. If you elect to have your nostrils or base of your nose narrowed, incisions can be hidden in the natural crease where the nostril joins the cheek.
During the procedure, Dr. Yousefi can also correct problems to the internal nasal structure that may be causing difficulty in breathing such as a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates. Rhinoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure and patients can return home the same day.
What Can I Expect After Rhinoplasty in Arlington?
During your recovery, you will wear a splint for five to seven days to protect your nose. Soreness, bruising and swelling around the eyes are common after surgery, and many patients experience a little oozing and drainage from their noses during the first day. Most discoloration will disappear within a week although the swelling of the face should go down sooner. Patients can return to work as soon as they like and resume full activity within two weeks. Many patients return to work in one week, right after when Dr. Yousefi removes the splint. Through regular follow-up visits we will monitor your progress and ensure that you are healing properly.
