The nose is a central feature of your face and directly affects your overall facial balance and symmetry. The slightest flaw in size or shape can affect your facial harmony and leave you less confident. Since the nose plays such a prominent role in breathing and the appeal of your facial structure, it’s important that you choose a plastic surgeon who possesses the technical expertise and artistic vision to help you achieve the results you want. At South Coast Plastic Surgery, we will help correct the appearance of your nose and any present breathing issues. Our intention is a holistic approach to rhinoplasty in Irvine, Orange County & Ladera Ranch.
Rhinoplasty (a nose job) is never a cookie-cutter surgery at South Coast Plastic Surgery. Nose surgery in Irvine is a 100% customized procedure. The surgery addresses a range of nose issues, from the functional to the cosmetic, including:
At South Coast Plastic Surgery, Dr. Ali Qureshi is highly trained to provide this technically challenging procedure for men and women from all types of ethnic backgrounds. From a cosmetic standpoint, improvements to the shape and structure of the nose may include one or more of the following:
Nose surgery in Irvine, Orange County & Ladera Ranch can also be performed to correct congenital defects or damage caused by injury or prior surgeries.
There are two main approaches to a rhinoplasty procedure, open and closed. Dr. Ali will assess your unique physical nasal structure and your aesthetic goals to help him choose which type of rhinoplasty is best for you.
This surgical approach involves placing an incision across the base of the columella, the thin strip of tissue separating the nostrils. This allows our surgeon complete access to the nose structure, which may be necessary for more extensive correction. When the incision heals, it will be virtually invisible to others.
In a closed rhinoplasty, the incisions are placed within the nostrils, with the advantage of creating no visible scars. This approach can be appropriate for less extensive changes to the nose structure.
Depending on the procedure requirements, rhinoplasty may be performed either under mild sedation with local anesthesia, or general anesthesia. You may return home within a few hours after your surgery.
It is widely known among plastic surgeons that rhinoplasty is the most complex and delicate of all facial procedures. When the nose is significantly reshaped, the revised structure must be correctly supported from within. Due to the complexity of the surgery involved, a revision can only be achieved by a highly-skilled plastic surgeon who uses the most advanced techniques.
Dr. Ali is often called upon to perform revision surgery on a failed rhinoplasty, correcting issues such as a collapsed nose, uneven result, or an appearance that does not meet the vision of the patient, whether too large or too small. It requires more than technique to create a beautifully balanced nose; it also requires an eye for facial harmony and access to the latest developments in surgical technique – all of which you will find in Dr. Ali.
Dr. Ali avoids using narcotics and uses an evidenced-based Enhanced Recovery Protocol After Anesthesia and Surgery (ERAS) to minimize pain and downtime. Following nose surgery in Irvine, Orange County & Ladera Ranch, your nose will be splinted for about a week to stabilize it and support proper healing. During the first week, most of the visible bruising should resolve. You can expect to return to work, school, or your usual activities in approximately a week. The main swelling typically subsides in a few weeks, but your nose shape continues to develop for up to a year.
