Rhinoplasty
If You Want to Fix Your Nose, You Are Not Alone
/
Wanting to improve yourself is nothing to be ashamed of. Rhinoplasty, commonly called a nose job, is the most popular facial plastic surgery in America. In both 2019 and 2020, over 350,000 nose jobs were performed on people just like you.
What's the Point of Rhinoplasty?
Reshaped Nose, Reshaped Life
The basic goal of nose surgery is to change the size, shape, or position of the nose to your liking. This may be accomplished by shaving away some of the internal supporting bone or cartilage of the nose, by removing soft tissue in certain areas, or by augmenting the nasal structures with artificial implants. Almost any part of the nose, from the nostrils to the tip and the bridge, can be modified during a rhinoplasty procedure. Envisioning your new nose and then receiving it can be very empowering and imbue you with renewed self-confidence.

Good Candidates for Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a good option for most healthy teenagers and adults who are concerned about the size, shape, or position of their noses. These are some specifics Dr. Yee evaluates when determining if an individual is a strong candidate:
Medical History
Past procedures, underlying health problems, and medical conditions are important factors for candidacy. Example issues that may make this procedure unwise include a history of strokes or hemophilia.
Proper Age
Some folks are simply too young for Dr. Yee to recommend rhinoplasty. Girls should wait until about age 14 or 15 before having nose surgery to ensure that the nose has finished developing, while boys should wait a few years longer.
Healthy Habits
Your safety during and after the rhinoplasty procedure is very important to us. Certain habits can increase the possibility of surgical and recovery complications. For example, smoking tobacco will inhibit proper healing following surgery.
Realistic Goals
It is important for doctor and patient to be on the same page throughout cosmetic procedures. Dr. Yee will want to understand why you want rhinoplasty and what you expect to get out of it. She will also counsel you regarding realistic expectations for your transformation.
The Rhinoplasty Procedure
Following a joint decision by you and Dr. Yee to proceed with rhinoplasty, Dr. Yee will take photographs of you and discuss the treatment options available. Just as there are many types of noses, there are many approaches to nose surgery. Here is what your personalized rhinoplasty journey could involve:
Soothing Anesthesia
Nose surgery is a complex and lengthy procedure that is performed under general anesthesia administered by Dr. Yee. General anesthesia provides a higher level of sedation than local anesthesia, and ensures that you remain comfortable and relaxed throughout treatment.
Precision Incisions
Dr. Yee makes incisions to open your skin an allow reshaping. If possible, she will make incisions that are completely concealed within the nostrils, eliminating the possibility of visible scarring. In some instances, the procedure must be performed through external incisions, but the incision sites are always carefully located to conceal any scarring.
Remarkable Reshaping
If the size of your nose is your issue, Dr. Yee will remove excess bone or cartilage to give you the nose you desire. For other reshaping desires, she will transfer cartilage from the septum to other areas of your nose to create the proper form. She may also straighten your nose to improve your look and breathing.
The Final Touch
To complete your surgery, Dr. Yee covers your nose skin and tissue in a manner designed to deliver a natural-looking outcome. She then closes your incisions with care to minimize any potential scarring.
Rhinoplasty Combinations
Dr. Yee performs a great number of cosmetic surgeries that each meet the very highest aesthetic standards. In some cases, pairing one of these procedures with a rhinoplasty has given her patients especially pronounced transformations.
She values open communication with her patients and welcomes you to voice any aesthetic concerns you may have. This way, Dr. Yee can use her wealth of experience to recommend just the rhinoplasty, or other treatments you can benefit from.
